PERSONAL LISTENING LOG (PL-LA)

NAME: Muhammad Hilmi Bin Muhammad Rafiq Selvarajah.

GROUP: JBM1191D.

~ First of all, when I get the title of this story’ Valiant Little Tailor’ to make a personal log, this is my first time I have heard the Valiant Little Story. I don’t know what the story is about. Firstly, in my opinion I think the tailor is very brave because he can kill all the giants. Furthermore, The Valiant Little Tailor is a familiar story because Disney took it upon them to put Mickey at the center of its story once. I have seen the Mickey version before, but it does not include the entire tale. I agree that this tailor is very brave, he can fight all the giants by himself. But, he use his own intelligence how to kill all the giants. Other than that, I really don’t like king because he’s the one who asked the tailor to kill all the giants. Because if the tailor wants to marry with the king’s son, so the king told him to kill it first. If he success, he can married with the king’s son. So, my feedback of this story is a tailor manages to kill seven flies in one swat. He is so proud of his achievement that he sews himself a girdle with the claim written on the fabric. Lastly, I’m very hate the king because in last he wants to kill the tailor by two of his servant but the servants was afraid to kill the tailor.
