Reading Notes: Week 2 Reading Anthology

(The Man In The Moon. Source)

Story source: Laos Folk-Lore by Katherine Neville Fleeson (1899)

What I liked:

The length of the story. A 300 word story kept my attention far more than a 1000 word story did.

Spacing of the sentences. Events were separated by blank lines in between them. This made it easier to follow along and not seem as intimidating.

Words that are easy to read and not too complicated.

Only two characters. Again, easy to keep attention and follow along.

The moral of the story: be happy with what you have because it could always be worse.

Use of two events where nothing significant happened and the moral of the story came out on the third event.

Other notes:

Stories about creation seem to get my imagination going the best. Maybe something about the creation of weather storms.
