Reading Note: Lodge-Boy and Thrown-Away, reading B
This story is part of the Native American Hero Tales unit. Story source: Tales of the North American Indians by Stith Thompson (1929).
I really enjoyed reading this story. The beginning was truly shocking and made me very sad for the husband who found his wife propped up like that with a stick. The intermittent flow of the story made it hard to understand. As the story changed directions and settings very often. I would like to write a story similar to this with the same scenes of a group of children who refused to listen to authority. I think that plot provides a great deal of opportunity for creative illustration and the addition of new stories and characters. I am excited to see where it leads me.
The tone of the story I thought was odd. As it presented some truly horrifying scenes or unbelievable circumstances in a very calm way that I enjoyed. It took the emotion out of the wording, and allowed the reader to image the emotions of the story himself. I love to provide just enough detail so that the reader can fill in the gaps by him or herself. I think that this is really the best way to write a story.
I really liked how the stories were used to explain different features in nature that we now recognize, such as the flattened snake heads. I feel like this gives such a real tone to the story and makes it much more relatable to real life. I think that I will definitely create a story with this idea and similar story telling techniques. I will use similar character names to thrown-behind-curtain and thrown-in-spring.
