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"

Obviously I am a huge sports fan and love football, baseball, basketball, and golf. My favorite teams are OU, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thunder up!! I enjoy going to the lake over the summer and getting on the boat and just having a great time with friends and ...

Reading Notes EC; The Theft of Fire

Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail. The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him. The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians. They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal. Fire
