Week 7 Reading Notes B:


Mr. Fox is Again Victimized

I chose to read another Brer rabbit Story because the reading A I did intrigued me into the life of Brer Rabbit. It has given me a lot of inspiration to make my writing more creative and lighthearted. I would like to tell the story from the view of the one who is on the other side of Brer rabbit, while still maintaining the same language used for the first reading that I wrote about.

Again this story is hard to follow, but its seems as though yet another animal has been victimized by the rabbit, in this case it is a Fox. A common theme seems to be the pray victimizing the predator which is an irony that I enjoy in story telling. I could perhaps write about a gazelle who gets the upper hand on a lion. Or a king salmon who bets a grizzly bear in a staring contest. I think that all these ideas would provide a great story.

 Also, writing a story where all the animals band together to fight Brer Rabbit because they are fed up with being victimized would also make a great story telling. Plot twists like that are what make me enjoy reading a story retelling the most. The other animals can from a coalition to bring all the other victims together and put Brer Rabbit to justice.

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

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. The stable weather is a blessing from the gods. Most import...
