Extra Reading Diary: Native American Hero Tales

These stories come from the Native American Hero Tales unit.

 The Jealous Uncle (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3): I really enjoyed reading this story. I loved how the nephew continuously was able to outwit the uncle and escape from the attempts on his life. It was a really great story. The ending was great with the uncle getting exactly what he deserved. The fact that the boy used the playthings of his murdered older brothers to outwit the uncle was also really great.


Dug-From-Ground (Part 1, Part 2): This story was really interesting to read. There seems to be a theme of curiosity and exploring throughout the story. The woman gets curious and pulls up a root. The man gets curious and follows his mother. Overall it was a really good story.

  1. Hello again, Rachel! First off, I commend you on the brevity of your reading diary posts. If you've even glanced at mine, you'll see that concision is really not my strong suit, haha. Secondly, the first story definitely sounds intriguing, what with the uncle getting the end he deserves, but you also have to wonder whether all of these revenge stories are really giving the right message.
