Reading Notes: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp

This week, I read all of Aladdin Part B. I think it would be interesting to focus more on the genie. How long has the genie been in the cave? How did he become a genie? Why did Aladdin get more than 3 wishes? I will focus more on the genie and give him a background story. I also want to talk a bit more about the princess. Her name is not Jasmine! The story paints her out to be a fool, but I want to show a more compassionate and educated side.
