The second half of reading the Tejas Legends unit by
Florence Stratton was very similar to the first half. I enjoyed the story Why The Hummingbirds Drink Only Dew because
it was so out of the box! It really reminded me of the story on the tortoise
and the hare since the hummingbird was so positive that she would win the race
but then the heron ends up coming in at the end and winning! I liked how the
humming bird actually kept its promise and I thought it was a clever way to
explain why hummingbirds drink from flowers instead of water like normal birds.
How The Sickness Entered The World
was more of a dark tale compared to the others. I liked how they gave sickness
human like qualities. I wonder what would have happened if the snake lived? I
could use this as a story for my assignment this week! It was such a creepy
image to imagine a snake leaving its eggs everywhere! I really liked how
descriptive the story When The Rainbow
Was Torn was written. I almost felt bad for the rainbow because it was
split and caught in the cactus, but I was also happy that the cactus got the
color it longed for! Why the Dog’s Ears
Flop was one of my favorites from this section just because I love dogs! I
hated how mean the Indians were to the dog just for messing up once… I feel
like they were way too harsh on him!
