The Coming of Men, A Long, Long While Ago
- I like the beginning of the story -the first paragraph and how it was written.
- "Earth, hills and stones, all fell down from the sky, and thus the earth was made."
- Focus on man being created
- Good visualization
- Intro of 1st person towards middle of plot
- "No day ever dawned"
- Intriguing take on the creation of men, dogs, children, women, death, light, etc. Nice read
- Eskimo theme
- Interesting turn as she ate bear but once she saw the cub was alive she didn't immediately kill it but instead try to save it.
- Bear gaining the mind of a human
- Deep "mother-son" type of relationship between the mother and the bear
- Had to let the bear go for his own safety
- Wizard introduced
- Singled out from hearing the wizard
- Very quick union between the girl and Isigâligârssik while in the house..
- Wondering why the wizard took away his wife
- Quick healing
- Wizard vs. Isigâligârssik
