Reading Notes: Week 2 Anthology

 After reading all of the stories, my personal story was "Fairy Tales" not only because those type of stories were my childhood favorite, but because it was about a mom and three daughters. However, this story was a bit more scary than a typical fairy tale because Mary cut off the Basilisk's head. At first I was a bit scared when I was reading more of the story, but overall I thought it was very unique and different than any other fairy tale I have ever read. I think that is what made me like this fairy tale because it was so different. I also enjoyed reading the "Tricksters" story because I took Choctaw the last three semesters and we read it during my second semester of Choctaw. It was refreshing and nice to read a familiar story, especially an Indian Fairy tale. Both of these stories are very different and I believe it is good to exposed to fairy tales from different cultures.

Week 7 Story: The Miraculous Mirror

Image
Once upon a time, there was a sun goddess, whom was high of the heavens named  Amaterasu. She was known to sit in the middle of the night weaving a web of Doom. In which, this web of Doom was so big and symbolized the characteristics of joy and dismay. Amaterasu's weaving lead to Izanagi's daughter showing up. She was known for her Lotus-pure blossoms of Love with the flame of a rapturous star.
