Satire Reflection

Out if all the stories the 3 I liked the best were, The little girl and the Wolfe , The Bear, and The Fox and the Crowe.  I liked the Little girl and the Wolfe, because it had a noce twist to the ending.  The beginging of the story stayed the same to the original story "Little Ridding Hood" but it changed towards the end with the little girl killing the wolfe with a machine gun.  He surprised me about how much more the story was interesting and how Little Red Ridding Hood all of a sudden had a gun.  He uses satire in this story by mocking the wolfe.
I also liked "The Bear," because it was eye opening and very insightful.  I really can't tell what the original story to this satire is so, I can't do a comparasion.  Anyway Thurber surpised me with the moral.  Because at first I didn't know where the story was going, but the moral helped me understand the story even better, and Thurber used satire in this by making fun of the, especially, when the bear was still acting the way he used to act before he got sober.
I liked the last story a lot, because it showed how cunning fox was, I've also never heard this story before I really can't compare the two.  The author uses satire in this one by mocking the bird and making the bird look stupid.
