Reading notes Part A: Week 10

This week I decided to focus on the California and the Old Southwest stories. I liked the idea of reading a unit involving regions I have been to and have stories I might have heard before. I enjoyed how this unit focused a lot on the creation of the world a lot, and it has some biblical aspects in it. In the Legend of the Flood covered a flood that wiped out the planet sparing one coyote. He gathered and planted feathers and they sprouted into trees. Coyotes were a consistent theme throughout the unit, and there may have been a deeper meaning to that. However, I am deliriously tired right now, so as far as I am concerned this coyote brought fire into the world and man and everything else.
