Week 10 Reading Diary A: Native American Hero Tales

The Jealous Uncle 

  • The Unnatural Uncle would kill his nephews after a few years 
  • He had killed two of them already
  • A third had been born and they concealed him and told the uncle that he was a girl
  • The boy grew up dressed as a girl and acting like a girl
  • One day he showed that he was really a boy and the uncle found out
  • Now more then ever the uncle wanted to kill the boy
  • The thing that really caught my attention in this story was that animals would go and hunt animals
  • How is it that Bluejay and his companions an otter and other hunt seals?
  • I like how in this story bluejay believed the grouse didnt deserve the fat of the seal
  • In return the grouse builds a canoe and they are dragged out to the sea by a seal they harpoon
  • Bluejay in his companions then made it to a strange place were he was challanged to climb against squirrel
  • Bluejay won the race and squirrel had lost it
