Week 10: Reading Notes - Devi. Indian Fables and Folklore

Reading Notes Part A

The Man in the Eye - I'm not sure what it is about this story that I like so much, I don't even think I could recreate it into my own story, but I love the idea that the little person you see in your eye could be death looking forth. I know its a morbid thought, but the idea is mystical and intriguing to me.

The Hare in the Moon - I want to use this story SO BAD as another way to showcase how righteous and valiant Penny-Nichole can be!!! Maybe the earth could be in trouble some how and she comes along and saves everyone by being her awesome wise self who seeks justice.

The Gifts of the Sun - I think this story is cute! I think it is funny that there is an origin story behind how the parasol and shoes came about and that they were considered gifts from the sun. I wouldn't use this story for my stories, but I thought it was cute enough to comment on.
