Reading A: Brer Rabbit: the Awful Fate of Mr. Wolf

This story is part of the Brer Rabbit unit. Story source: Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings by Joel Chandler Harris (1881).

The first thing I noticed about this story was the style of writing. I really liked how the author used his own creative spelling of words to provide a whole new tone to the story. I would like to do something similar with my story telling post later this week. I like how it provides the reader with the freedom to image the speaker their self. Also I like that it provides the author with the freedom to misspell any and all words used in the story as I definitely struggle with proofreading. This style of writing definitely made it difficult to understand what was happening the story, but it also let me image my own setting for the story.

In the story, I really liked how the Rabbit took care of the wolf when he was down, it provided an interesting twist. I honestly am not sure how the study ended, I think the rabbit ended up killing the wolf, but I am not sure why. So in the end, the style of writing was very interesting, but The plot of the story was confusing and I had a difficult time following. So I think that I will make a story with a much clearer plot but with a similar writing style.

Week 3 Story: The Land of the Cyclopes

Cyclopes Shark Odyssey: The Land of the Cyclopes You probably believe that the Cyclopes look similar to humans, but are much bigger and have a third eye in the middle of their forehead. However, you are very wrong to think this. In Cyclopes Island east of the candy cane forest and north of the rock candy mountains, there are many species of cyclopes. There are bird cyclopes, with there 3 eyes and gigantic size. Most notable would be the cyclopes raven, blessed with the ability of 2nd sight, he is able to out maneuver large predators and have easy access to the island abundant food source of cyclopes mice. The most fearsome predator that lives on this island, is by far the Cyclopes Shark. This beast has only one eye in the middle of its pointy, brutish face. This monstrosity feeds on any that dare to venture out into Cyclopes Loch and its adjacent pools. The island flourishes year round as there is only one season.
