Reading Log #5 (The Tales of Beedle the Bard)

     I think that the GATE Icon that most connects with this collection of stories is Details. It may sound odd to think that all this book is just details, but it is! First of all, this book is supposed to be accompanied with another book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows where this book was first mentioned. The collection of stories was simply a detail in the book, something to help pull the plot foward. The most important story out of the bunch mentioned was "The Tale of the Three Brothers," which is where the name "Deathly Hallows" arrises, which are the gifts Death gives to the three brothers, "So the oldest brother . . . asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence . . . Then the second brother . . . asked for the power to recall others from Death . . . The youngest brother . . . asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death" (88, 89). Another reason why I believe this is details is because all the stories are simply just tales, "The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of stories written for young wizards and witches" (VII). These tales were just made to teach kids morals and ethics and all sorts of important things. These stories are simply examples or details of the bigger picture/moral of the story told. In the end, The Tales of Beedle the Bard are simply just fun stories to read that help paint a better idea of another story, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows​.
