As we discussed in class the black witch is an important figure in fairytales, where as the black cook is not. Im not really quite sure about the point Grass was trying to make by adding the black witch to his story, but in our book we definitly couldnt pick up on his meaning because she was referred to as "the black cook".alybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507543304546945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-1569196117381805762011-09-03T10:56:59.182-05:002011-09-03T10:56:59.182-05:00I don't think translation for a novel such as ...I don't think translation for a novel such as The Tin Drum is very important. Maybe a short story and definitely poetry, but this novel has a lot of major themes that I think are more important than the fine details.ParkerChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954111548218643434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-6799448524563977222011-09-03T09:49:55.601-05:002011-09-03T09:49:55.601-05:00I think the huge diffrences between the new copy a...I think the huge diffrences between the new copy and the old copy are also intresting. I felt like everytime Mrs. King read a quote it was like they were reading from a totally diffrent book. I mean so many little changes (from the black cook/witch to syntax changes) make a really big diffrence. The translations were so vastly diffrent it makes me wonder how accurate they could possibly be to the german.sara pendletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492351949736228056noreply@blogger.com
