Reading Diary A: West African Folktales

West African Folktales




Anansi and Nothing
-I have always thought the stories of about characters named "Nothing" or " Nobody" were entertaining

Why the Lizard Moves His Head Up and Down
-I really love the end to this story. I agree, how can anyone be so foolish? Clever reasoning for why the lizards heads move like they do

Tit For Tat
-I like that even though Anansi is such  trickster, his son is about doing good and helping others. I like that at then end of this story Anansi agrees to end his evil and tricky ways.

This is probably not the kind of feast they were speaking of in the story, but it looks good to me!
