Native American folk and fairy tale

Hello again readers! haven't made a blog in I don't know how long, but I do know things are about to get very educational or at least it is for me. so, on this journey that I'm on I have noticed many different folk and fairy tales and this just goes to show everyone uses their imagination and develops creativity. Any who about them native American stories that leaves you with a different approach. and I say this because Native American folk and fairy tales are an oral tradition. some stories are sacred and spiritual in nature. These stories are told to preserve ancestral history about Native Americans. it is known that one of the greatest connections is that spiritual forces can be felt and experienced in the physical world. in addition oral story telling remains a vivid and beautiful part of their culture.  These stories go along way for them and will forever remain apart of them. The reasoning Native American folk and fairy tales are unique because they are different for different tribes. the stories tell a story about a connection with earth/nature, spiritual forces, and animals.

Beauty and the Beast

Heyyy Everyone!!! Question time! so, have you ever dreamed of being an animal? or If you could be any animal what would it be?? {Drop Comment} I would love to know, btw I would want to be a black panther. ouuuuu a panther lol your probably thinking why panther? well because they are very beautiful and black, which is my favorite color. Any who could you imagine transforming into a beast? Hmmph not me said the goose. Since where on the topic the tale The Frog Princess which has multiple versions to it but where going focus on the one about the beauty and the beast. But there's a twist because the female is the beast and the male is the beauty. in which three children make a bow and shoot the arrow at random to find a wife. one of the children arrows *drum roll please* landed on a frog. in which the child neglected but ended up liking and transformed into a stunning, intelligent, well skilled princess. in comparison to the swan maiden the transformation was the same en...

what are your thoughts ??

Folk and fairy tales, what’s the difference? Idk yet, but I do know that, “The Little Red Robin Hood” being one of the all times movies that many people love, and all the other remakes of it ( am I giving it too much credit?). How good was the movie to you? Any who, enough with the questions!! I bet you didn’t know that “The Little Red Robin Hood” is indeed a European fairytale.   But my question is, what inspired Charles Perrault to have come up with the idea of a young girl traveling to go see her grandmother who is unfortunately eaten by a wolf before she could even get to her? Only traveling without the knowledge that she will be eaten next when she arrives. This fairytale creates so much wonder for me. For instance, just thinking about it like how do you not tell that a wolf is dressed up as your grandmother? Are you blind or you just can’t see. Or what gave the wolf the idea to impersonate an old lady just to eat the granddaughter? That question “blows me away” that phrase...

Guest speaker

Okaayyyy sooo It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Wow ladies and gents are you ready for a story I have for you. Pass few classes we have had  guest speakers come in and tell us about folktale and their stories and how they’ve been told to them. So we recently learned more about Kenyan folktales and how unique they are from other folktales and I say this because kenyan folktales makes it seem like you where there it’s very realistic in a way that makes your imagination go wild. The uniqueness about kenyan folktale is that most of the time it follows through with a song which is very traditional  and really makes the story come alive. For instance when Dr. Ochieng’ K’Olewe told wonderful stories to the class. One being about the money and the shark story which is one of my favorites because the shark took the monkey as a fool and he was know fool, and the ending made me laugh the most. I would tell you guys the story but I don’t think I can tell it as good as he did. It was...
