Week 11 Reading A: Tejas

When the Storm God Arrives  - I found this a really fun but kind of sad read. I liked that their 'God' wasn't a fictional character but someone that was really there and could save them in their time of need. Kind of like a hero.

When I read these stories, I know that it is not just the humans who are characters but the animals, the earth, the water. It is almost a romantic way of telling a story. It is beautifully written and fun to pay attention to. For this weeks story, I want to step out of my comfort zone of just human and animals and mention things like the wind and the seas. I think it would be a good development for me as a writer.

THE MISTLETOE!!!!!! A CUTE CHARACTER!!!!!!
