Reading Notes, Part A: Turkish Fairy Tales: Fear

I don't like the storytelling format of most of these stories. It feels condescending to me. I am not a child, I have outgrown this type of bedtime story. That is why I usually do not write in this style.

Instead of fear, I want the young man to be in search of love. Throughout the piece, I'll have him look for love and he'll find it in different places.

for example,
- Bringing soup to his sick mother
- getting hugs from children
- owning and training an animal
- finally meeting a woman he falls in love with

I will probably have to use both parts of this story in order to tell the whole thing.
I think I'll probably write in first person or third person omniscient, I haven't decided yet.
