Two Fast Runners
- Origin story!!! - I love those
- Maybe I could write about other aspects of animals, such as how or why cheetahs got to be so fast, or how certain animals or insects got the pattern of fur that they did
- Also reminded me of the tortoise and the hare a little bit, but with each side outsmarting the other once
The Wolf Man
- A little hard to follow - maybe I could rewrite a part of this to make more sense
- I thought it was a bit messed up that the two wives treated their husband so unfairly and that they even tried killing him
- I may write a story that goes into more depth about each situation with the women
- Ex. Why did the women hate him so much?
- Ex. Why did the man get married to each woman? What drove their relationship? Because apparently they didn't love each other, soooo
- Ex. What actually happened to them at the end?
Source: The Wolf Man, or at least how I imagined a wolf-man to be like if he could switch between the two forms.
The Dog and the Root Digger
- Why did the man hide all the buffalo from everyone else? Just so his family would have something to eat at all times? Or was there an alternative reason?
- Kind of reminded me of the animagus characters in Harry Potter, who could change shape into an animal form whenever they wanted to. Both the dog and the root digger could be like Harry Potter characters in my story, if I decide to re-tell this one.
The Theft from the Sun
- This was an interesting story just because it personified the Sun so much and had the main character not realize that the whole world was encompassed by the Sun at one point or another.
- If I were to retell this story, I would personify something else, such as the Earth, or the grass, or another planet, or even a type of food or something. Something that is very abundant and common and something that I could write a whole story about.
