Reading Notes: Trickster and The Storm God

The Tiger, The Brahman, and the Jackal is a trickster story that was very amusing to me. I was impressed by the writing and cleverness of using certain objects as characters in the story. Although it would involve some thought to create a story such as this one, I believe it would be one that I would enjoy writing. While reading the story I could almost picture everything that was being told. That to me is something that I would like to carry on onto my own story. Once I start picturing the story, I am engaged and want to keep reading so I would like to do something similar. 

 

(The Tiger Pleading to the Brahman: Fairy Tale)

Another story that I enjoyed reading was under the "Tejas Legends" category called When the Storm God Rides. The story talks about how the hurricane came to be called and how the islands in the Gulf of Mexico were formed during a massive hurricane storm. The storm was caused by the Storm God riding Hurakan on his way to Texas to protect the birds from the killer Indians. I was drawn into this story basically because I am familiar with Texas and Mexico so the word "Tejas" stood out to me. I will probably be viewing a lot of the stories under this category and see if I can find any other story that will help with my project.
