Reading Options


I enjoyed skimming through many units for this assignments. There are so many options it is going to be hard to pick one!

I am interested in reading some Italian Popular Tales due to my heritage and the amount of time I have spent studying in Italy.

The unit over Saints and Animals also sounds interesting to me. I am not catholic, and have always found the idea of Saints hard to understand, so I would like to see what I would learn through units in this story. I also love animals, so why not read some stories that use animals for explanation.

Lastly, I enjoyed the unit over The Congo. Recently, I watched a new movies called Tarzan - the one with real people, not the Disney one - and it took place in the Congo. This movie provoked my interested in the historical era of this film. I started to research this time frame for fun, and I found it very interesting. I would like to see what folklore is out there about this era!

Week 10/11 Story: The Plagues of the Plains People

Image
It was a time when men were plentiful and the plain's creatures grew abundantly. However, the leader of the Plains Tribe, Eagle, was oppressing many people of the nearby Mountain tribe. The Mountain tribe were good people, who listened and worshiped the Raven, unlike the majority of the Plain's people. The Raven heard of this enslavement and was angered. He went to Eagle's oldest son, Arrow, and said, "You must convince your father to let the people of the mountains leave his reign. He will refuse, so I will bring down my fist on the Plains people. Then I will rescue the mountain people, and all will know I am the creator and true leader." Arrow did as the Raven commanded of him. Eagle's heart was hardened and he refused to listen to the Raven's threats. Then the Raven appeared to Arrow, "Your father's heart is stubborn and he is refusing to let the mountain people go. So go to him and tomorrow and watch him as he witnesses my first curse on the...
