Reading Diary A: Myths of the Cherokee

Myth-Folklore Unit: Myths of the Cherokee

How the World Was Made 

This is a really in-depth and interesting tale about how the earth was made. I appreciated the detail in the story telling. Though this didn't quite keep my interest the entire time, it was still a good story. I want my stories to be this detailed but still be thrilling for the reader to read.

The Rabbit Goes Duck Hunting 

I really don't understand the point in this story. Also, it was a gross image I got in my head when they author described the rabbit eating its own fur. I want my readers to come away knowing why I told the story and have them glad that they read it.

The Deer and the Rabbit

Stories like this are so interesting - how animals get to be how they are according to folklore and myths. However, at first when they decided the winner would get antlers, I thought about a jackalope and wasn't sure who was going to win! This kept the story interesting and allowed me to read it without losing interest.
