Reading Diary B: Pacific Northwest

The link to this week's reading and my favorites can be found here.

Two Thunder Bird Stories

• "The beating of its wings was thunder. Its glance was lightning."
• How the simple touch of the Thunder Bird can create things so big.
• The Tinne
• Sacred Arrow is a cool touch to the story
• "The bird's wings darkened the sun. The flapping of its wings shook the earth."
• I like the descriptions of the birds
• Interesting how the Indians were said to be made from eggs

How the Ermine Got its Necklace

• Very abrupt how they just went and killed the porcupine when it didn't answer their question
• How pride got the best of one of the brothers.
• Monsters
• Thunder Bird reappearance
• Cool how the birds are the ones making the weather change
• Wondering why the boy kills all the birds. Fear?
• Didn't expect the other brother to have become an ermine.
• Saved the younger brother

Falls of the Willamette

• Not finishing what he started in many places
• I like how the Trap is given emotions
• Argument leading to use of spears
