Reading Notes B: Manabush and the Great Fish

-
I decided to read Manabush and the Great Fish this story was edited by Katherine Berry Judson (1914). This story comes from Myths and Legends of the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes .

Manabush had a brother named Wolf who died. However, he realized that a he was not alone. There were children of Nokomis who were his aunts and uncles.

The evil manidoes annoyed the people and Manabush wanted to kill them. I remember in the past stories the manidoes was the reason why his brother died. So, they have bad blood.

The evil manidoes (Anamaqkiu) would not let any of the people near the water. So Manabush approached the chief and said he will destroy him but the smaller manidoes came and made the water return quickly and they all disappeared. Manabush then went and created a canoe and yelled for the Great Fish to come and swallow him. The Great Fish did just that ! He looked around and many of his family members were inside of the fish. Lol!

Manabush then created a hole in the fish and he had to swim to the shore. Once he reached the shore many of the animals on the inside began to sing and climb out of the fish. The birds also helped the captured animals and began to pick at the fishes flesh. All the animals became free. Image result for dead big fish

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are General Science, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took when considering science is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together. My favorite flowers are Hibiscus flowers and Roses. Both of these flowers have a wonderful fragrance. Outside of gardening you ...

Demon or My Child : Week 3 Story

I can remember like yesterday, it was the happiest day of my husband and I lives. We had our first child March 13th, 2002. Her name is Mahleeyha Calvert. As a baby she was the sweetest. I can remember every morning I would walk into her room and she would have the biggest smile on her face holding onto the side of her crib waiting for me. I swear he smile was brighter than the sun shinning on California. I treasure those days because recently she's been acting like a completely different child. It scares me. It is almost like something has possessed her. I came home after work as usual and I could hear a weird tapping noise and a random scream. I ran to her room thinking someone was hurting her but she spasming out and shaking her head furiously while tapping on the window by her bed. I was shook. I did not know if I need to hold her or run. She turned around abruptly and I could see my little girl in her eyes. She then ran past me, down the stairs and went outside. She grabbed t...
