Reading Notes: West Africa, Anansi and Nothing

 My favorite character in the story was Nothing I don't understand how a man got so rich but was persuaded so easily as Nothing was I could change the story to make at as Nothings idea to switch to see which women wanted him for who he was and who wanted him for his money I also could make it to where after Nothing found his wife she was secretly evil and played tricks on the town Nothing was tricked into stepping out of his house even though his wife told him not to and was killed by Anansi I feel I could change the way Anansi killed nothing or make it where Nothing turned the table and captured Anansi instead or maybe Nothing could fall into a pit of poison snakes I don't understand the last paragraph. I think I would change it to where the village people cooked Nothings wife food and then they would "cry for nothing" Anansi and Nothing by William H. Barker and Cecilia Sinclair; Link to the reading online Falling into a hole Image from Favim

Week 8 Reading and Writing

The reading and writing so far for me has been interesting. I fell behind a bit so I am having to catch up but I will get there. I have enjoyed reading these stories and most of the stuff I have never even heard of before. I believe I have been more creative in my writing and it has actually been fun to make up my own stories. I chose this image of the lion because it is my favorite animal. It was relevant to my story of Androcles as well!
