The Great Flood : Reading Notes A
Normally I would not read stories that are challenging to pronounce the character names. I decided to give this story a try. I found this story to be interesting.
Quick Vocabulary.
To get revenge Manabush invented a ball game where Anamaqkiu (who destroyed his brother) and the Thunderers played against each other. There is obvious conflict here and I think I could create a conflict between Spongebob and Plankton in the next story and possibly have Plankton be the one that destroyed Spongebobs pet snail known as Gary. Spongebob would be the creator of the ball game that would take place next to the Lagoon.
Manabush said that he wanted to be a tree with branches that reach over where the Bear Chiefs would lie down and he became such tree.
The Bear chief noticed the tree was not there yesterday and figured out that the tree is Manabush and wanted to kill it. He commanded the bears and the serpent to destroy the tree and Manabush never said a word. I am not sure what I would have Spongebob turn into. Maybe something just like a tree but they are under the sea so maybe a big coral or something.
They stopped picking on the tree and decided to finish the game. Manabush wounded the bear and the bear chief and turned into a man again.
Anamaqkiu came back and called for a flood to drown Manabush because he saw the two bear chiefs were down.
Manabush climbed to the top of a tree and commanded it to grow twice as big because the waters kept rising. Then he cried for help to a couple animals and they ended up drowning, trying to help him. He would say, "Ho,_______! Come to me and be my brother. Dive down into the water. Bring me up earth from below" I think I am going to keep this line in my story to keep some originality to it.
