Week 7 Reading Notes: Brer Rabbit Part A

Well this weeks reading was difficult at first to follow along with. The style of writing was written in a different english. After a while it did get easier to read and understand. Things I liked about this weeks reading in part A were the amount of images that were used. They all correlated to the story in some way and made it a little more interesting. This is something that I would like to try and do in the future. Another thing that really stood out to me was how direct the story details were. There really wasn't a lot of vivid imagery to pictures in your head. I think that this would be an interesting technique to play with because it could be challenging to tell a story without a lot of vivid detail and still have the story be interesting. I would like to write in the same language style but I do not believe that I have enough knowledge on that in order to do so. I think for my next story though, I will be taking from this section.
