AMD 5

I followed the "Germans and Americans talk" link on the suggested AMD ideas page but I couldn't find what was described. Instead I found a "German Pictorial Lexicon" that uses pictures to describe exactly what a German speaker means to say when they say a word. For example Americans might think of Wonderbread but Germans might have a totally different picture in their minds of the prototypical "bread." I'm currently taking a CompLit class and so this is relevant to what I learn in that class.
First I looked at the University-related words and saw a picture of the complicated recycling bin system. It was a good idea, but the site really isn't that good at all. It is woefully incomplete and there are double entries. Some of the pictures are blurry, vague, or pretty universal. I wouldn't recommend checking it out.
Next I followed a link: http://www.fln.vcu.edu//menu.html to a bunch of German stories. I tried to read "The Frog King" in German but I switched to English. I recognize a couple of details from this Grimm version that I think I read in the edited version I read as a kid. It's interesting that we call it "The Princess and the Frog" instead of "The Frog King." I read all of the stories that I didn't recognize. My favorite was "'The Turnip" because it didn't really make that much sense and ended abruptly. In "The Brave Little Tailor" there is a funny little moment when the tailor tells the flies to stop eating his jam but they "understood no German." I recognize a lot of these stories as ones I've read by Hans Christian Anderson, so I wonder where they first originated.
