Week 12 Reading: Nursery Rhymes (Reading B)



Jingles: Hey Diddle Diddle




  1. Nursery Rhymes: Jingles
    • Cock-a-doodle-doo is fun and the story is cute too 
    • I did not know that tweedledum and tweedledee came from a jingle 
    • truly no better way to describe these tales other than jingle 
    • Rub a dub dub has a queer humor to it 
  2. Nursery Rhymes: Love and Matrimony
    • Jack and Jill 
    • Different versions of "roses are red"
    • Mentions Canterbury, reminds me of the tales 
      • still do not know what &c means 
    • Slightly shows how marriage was handled between sexes then 
    • Mostly narrative songs, probably acted out 
  3. Nursery Rhymes: Natural History, Part 1
    • Natural history is typically how the earth was created or explains why something is a certain way
      • in these tales its really just playful animals and humans
      • some end with mocking humans or using them 
    • Some animals are pets, also talks about the elements like wind 
    • Interactions of human and animal, fictional natural history 
      • some just only mention an animal 
  4. Nursery Rhymes: Natural History, Part 2
    • Baa, Baa, Black Sheep 
    • Little Boy Blue 
      • I note the ones I know 
    • Not much else to mention that differs from Part 1 
      • However, most of these had more animals and less human unlike part 1
  5. Nursery Rhymes: Accumulative Stories
    • This is the house that Jack built is a great idea for copying a story 
      • it adds on top of itself each time 
      • Seems difficult though because of needing to know where the story goes before you write it 
    • Not really rhymes anymore, but stories 
      • the one with the old woman on the road seemed like a song more 
    • The last one is simple to recreate too, just naming placement 
  6. Nursery Rhymes: Relics
    • I truly had no idea what these little relics meant
    • they were mostly all short so I felt like they are writing in code 
    • What are little boys made of mentions "Suger, Spice and everything nice for girls"
      • just like powder puff girls 
    • I really liked the Daffodile relic 
    • Rain Rain Go Away
