Week 14 Story Revision: The Start

Image
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 Americans thought this was a sign and then threw the plant in the fire. After throwing it in the fire he inhaled the smoke from the flames and understood...

Week 14 Extra Reading: Italian Popular Tales

Image
One of the main stories that popped out to me was the story about the Devil and his three wives. I don't know a lot about Italian culture but from what it seems marrying is a big deal to them. In this story the devil wanted to be married and decided to change himself into a handsome young man and marry a beautiful woman. When he became a man he created a house and then went to a family that had three sisters. He chose the oldest sister because he was attracted to her the most at the beginning.

He was right with the first and second sister but when it came to the third sister it was different. The third sister knew that the man had killed his two sisters and broke his trust right away.

Week 15 Reading Notes B: Lang's European Fairy Tales II

Image
In my reading notes B I read about the European fairy tales because I wanted to see if they were different from the ones I would hear as a child. There was one story that stood out to me the most which was the story about the rooster that looked different from all the other roosters. In this story there was a rooster that was born and looked different from all of its siblings. It was regarded as ugly and different from all of them. The mother would worry about the rooster because she thought it would never grow to be a strong or powerful rooster. The rooster was a trouble child and would be mean to everyone even its mother. He would not listen to her and would be rude all the time. When they would go on trips he would leave the pack and wander by himself. When he would do this everyone would go and look for him because they were all worried sick. He decided one day to go to the king because he thought he would get a better life there. When he was on his way he encountered a stream that...
