Day Three

Ok, as we all know (or at least I do...) I am doing The Strange Tale of Doctor Dog, a very simple and entertaining folktale that deals with Chinese culture.


The french culture and the Chinese culture are both VERY different. I see nothing similar between the two at all, so I'll take on a few notes.


What's really interesting about France is how it's so diverse. Such different tastes in music, different climates, different clothing, etc.


Religion - The French are a very religious people. They are mostly Roman Catholic/Christian and some of their holidays, such as Christmas, are very important days which revolve around religion. 


Food - is not important into this story at all. None of the characters eat anything really...However, the French treat food very seriously, as it if were their own children. Unfortunately, a bit too seriously, since if there is no perfection, chances are the French will respond very negatively. The Chinese and the French treat their food very seriously.


The French usually buy their food on weekdays, and their most prized type of food is bread, which they buy just about every day. Bread is the most vital thing the French could possess, along with cheese, another favorite of the French.


Music - Still, not important at all to my story. However, the music in French is very diverse, like a lot of other things. The French in modern times are more into hip/hop and pop. They also like rock music and classical music. 


Clothing - still not important to the story. However, clothing in France is also very diverse. The French are the fashion capital of the world (apparently). What you wear in one part of France is most likely not in style in another part of France. For example, in Paris, they dress more elegantly with couture type dress, while cities north of France will wear western style clothes, such as jeans. 


Relationships - now THIS I can do. Loving/caring fathers exist in all cultures. Especially with the French. The French are very close with their families. Children often do not disrespect their parents, and usually spend a lot of time with their grandparents. 


Climate - the climate of France is very mild and not one place in France has the same climate as another. Geographical location plays some part in the climate, as northern France is way colder than southern France.


Most of the French culture is not really that vital to my story, but I will try my best to incorporate them in some way. Religion, Climate, Geography, etc. doesn't play much of a part, but I'll focus more on the relationship between the characters and the magic in the story. I really think this will be a very fun story to rewrite =D

CHEESE!!!!! =D
