Topic Research: Animals of the Great Plains
I have decided to focus more on animals of the Great Plains. I am thinking I may want to write about stories with conflicts between different animals and relate it all together in the end. This is just a thought though, I may end up doing and liking something else better!
One story in this unit that gave me inspiration to write a story similar was Coyote and Snake. In this story the coyote is walking on a path and almost steps on the snake. The snake politely asks the coyote to go around him, however, the coyote does not like this and refuses to go around the snake. The snake warns him that if he steps on him the snake will bite him. The coyote steps on the snake and the snake bites him but nothing happens instantly. The coyote keep walking and when drinking from a creek looks into his reflection and looks rather fat and then became very sleepy. He fell asleep and did not ever wake up. I think the story line of this story would be very useful in future stories.
Another story I am interested in is Why the Deer Got His Horns. In this story it is explained as to why deer have horns and why rabbits do not. It all came from a race in which a deer and rabbit were to participate in but the rabbit cheated so the deer was awarded the horns. I think I could write a lot of stories like this incorporated why animals have a certain feature and how that came to be.
The last story I think will be beneficial in helping me write in the future is the story of Why the Possum Plays Dead. This story explains "why" possums play dead in a great way. I liked the creativity behind this story and think I could definitely incorporate some of the details from this story into some of mine in the future. I like the idea of creating a story as to why something happens or why an animal acts a certain way.
