Retell a Nursery Rhyme Contest The first paragraph just screams classic abusive husband-martyr wife relationship, which could be a good thing. It would be a really good thing if the situation were to change at the very end, but since in the end their relationship is still the same, I guess this paragraph is just a little bit too much of a giveaway.
“Why is your voice so quiet, darling little Curly Locks?” “Because you take my breath away, Henry,” I answer back shakily. – that was a nice response. Too bad it didn't work for her :(
Henry throws the bowl down, splattering cream and sugar and red, red strawberries all over my dress. – somehow, I really like the “red, red” here. It kind of adds danger or something like that
Ugh, Curly Locks is such an idiot. I agree with 1st commenter, I would punch the guy in the face. Then I would kick him in the groin, drown him in sugar and cream, and poke his eyes with my sewing needle! Haha, okay, enough with the evil ranting.
I thought the way it was written was nice because it still had the feel of a nursery rhyme all throughout, especially when Henry interrogates Curly Locks. It made me think of the conversation between little red riding hood and the grandma/wolf, only different. Good job on that. :)
