Reading Notes Part B: Apache, Coyote Steals a Mans Wife

This story is short and doesnt have a lot of detail but there is a lot of room for imagination and to add detail in.

The main character is the man, I could give the man a name and make him more personal
Explain why the man was on the rock and how he got there
Make the journey back to his wife more interesting
I like the way the man kills the coyote but there is not good imagery involved, I could make this more interesting and not so abrupt.
Why was the rock which the man was on raised the sky? I could have the rock crumble and somehow the man survived and nursed himself back to life to go on this journey to find his wife that was stolen by the coyote.

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.

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
