Reading Diary A: Apache Tales

these were my thoughts while reading the Apache Tales unit.

The Emergence- I guess the title says it all. we emerged from the earth and all went our different ways. I wonder what happened to the old people.

The First War- so the old people do come back and they are the ones who introduce sleep. that guy put up a fight.

The Culture Heroes and Owl- this story is funny to me, here we have these two boys who just want a toy to play with just they get trapped and use the power of story telling to save them.

The Killing of the Monsters- this was pretty cool i like how he out smarted everything to kill it.     

Naiyenesgani Rescues the Taos Indians- Why is everything done in 4's?

Naiyenesgani Takes His Leave- so thats why there is such an importance on animals in their culture.

Coyote Secures Fire- i am guessing a fire drill is how they make fire because it has been brought a few different times now.

The Swallowing Monster- some times these stories have so much going on in them...we are running from a monster and now the girl is a frog?

The Man Who Helped the Eagles- it would be so cool to fly with the eagles.

Releasing the Buffalo- in every story they are playing this hop and pole game  

The Origin of Corn and Deer- again we see the importance of the number 4
