Siren, City in the Clouds
As soon as I started reading this story I was intrigued by it. I have always wondered about cities in the future and what they would be like. The title immediately grabbed my attention because of its descriptiveness and even the name of the city sounded intriguing. The introduction does grab my attention because of the way it describes the city. By saying its "full of lights" and that there is always something happening it makes me want to read more about it. The design of the blog is very bold and the descriptions for the other parts of the story help guide me through it easily. 

Remember the Alamo!


This story's narrator is what made me want to read it. Also the historic part of this makes me want to read about it to find out if it is true or not. I have always wondered about the Alamo and by finding a story about it it makes me want to learn as well. The picture is an old photo but a real one so it makes me think this story is true. The navigation on this one is the most helpful because it tells you exactly whose story you are about to read about. 


The Monkey King


The reason I found this story intriguing was because it sounds like a real story that someone made up. As I later read in the introduction it was actually a story that has been told. The fact that the author added a link to a word some might not know helped a lot because I didn't know the word myself and by being able to click on the link to find out helped a lot. The picture used for it makes it more intriguing as well and the tabs on the top made it easy to navigate.

I decided to change the title of one of my stories to try and draw some attention of the readers and also wanted the title to match the story more.  At the beginning of time there was one tribe of Native Americans that lived in the Mississippi Valley. They had no contact with other tribes but knew they were out there. The only way they were able to survive was because the animals in the forest would come and help them. Some would bring vegetables so that the tribe could eat while others would bring other dead animals so that the Native Americans could use them. Whenever the tribe received an animal they would respect it by praying first and then use the entire animal. They wouldn't disrespect the animal by not using all the parts. They believed that since the other animals were bringing them the dead animals the least they could do was to respect the animals that brought them. One day an animal brought a plant to the tribe and placed it near the fire pit. One of the Native Am...

Reading Notes "The Man in the Moon" Part B

The Man in the Moon   by Katherine Neville Fleeson This story was very interesting to me. It started off with someone complaining about being a blacksmith and they wanted to do something else. Then when he gets changed into the stone he doesn't like that because it hurts him when he is cut. It keeps going on and on because he can't decide what life he wants until he chooses the moon because he thinks it looks cool. He finds out that it is a really hot place then begs to be changed into the very first thing he was but is not allowed to. There is a strong message behind this story in my eyes. It's what makes the story great because it's saying that what you are in the first thing might be the thing you like the most and don't think other things are better just by looking at them. The man is still stuck as the Moon. Source I like how it didn't say that the wise man was God but he was just a person who controlled everything. I think that adds more descripti...
