I enjoyed the remainder of the Native American Marriage Tales unit. It had longer tales that
gave me a better insight into the culture.
I still didn’t find anything that I was really excited to draw from, but
there was one story that caught my eye.
I particularly liked the tale of the Girl and The Turkeys. It was very similar to the tale
of Cinderella, but from a different culture’s viewpoint. I really liked that the Turkeys were the ones
that aided her in going to the ball, not a fairy god mother. I thought it was interesting that there wasn’t
really anyone that told her she couldn’t go to the ball, just her view of
herself. I liked that the Turkeys
cleaned her clothes and then essentially spat out a variety of ornaments for her
to wear. The fact that she forgot about
them after she left was cool too. It
definitely sets the tale apart from Cinderella.
