Reading Notes Week 11 Part B

Part B reading was a little different. The repetition was not as bad as the Part A reading and it made it a little less frustrating to read. What was different about these stories is that a lot of them could have been a bunch of interesting details leading up to a ending that made sense, but when it came time to end the story it would take a turn in a completely different direction. The Children of Cloud is a good example because the boys are just coming and going between their parents places and somehow get turned into agave plants. It was looking like they were just going to go home but instead got turned into plants. I thought this was an interesting style of writing and was intrigued at first by it but learned to enjoy it throughout the reading. There was also really cool ways that things were explained in how they were created. I think there could be some details changed and possibly have a really good story. I might just do an extra story this week just for fun!
