Week 8 Reading and Writing

 The reading and writing assignments are working very well for me. I enjoy reading the different stories each week and having the ability to pick which story it is I want to read. I am happy with both my blog and project website. I think my blog post is well organized and easy to navigate through. I also like my project website because I think it is eerie and represents the villain and evil aspect of the stories I am writing about. I am satisfied with how my writing is going. I found it very fun writing my first story for my project. I also like writing about the stories because I think its fun how I get to put my own twist on things. I think my biggest accomplishment thus far has been my first story I wrote for my project. I really enjoyed how I wrote it and I found it interesting. My favorite reading so far has been the Brer Rabbit readings. I knew some basic stories about it but I didn't realize how many there were and how many different characters there were. I would say that my reading is definitely helping with my story posts. I find it easy to write the stories because I can refer back to the notes. I have found that taking the notes as I go really helps me, instead of reading the whole story and then taking notes after. 

This is my favorite image because I think it is very elegant and pleasing to look at. I enjoy the white and the look of the crane looking up in the air.

 Native American Marriage Tales Bibliography: Native American Marriage Tales by Stith Thompson  marriage-dog-husband.html There was a women who owned a cat. This cat was her best friend they were together all day. During the night the cat would turn into a human and come into her bed to keep her company. One day the girl woke up and realized she was pregnant. The family knew it was from the cat and they were ashamed at the situation. So they killed the cat and left the girl to fend for herself.
