Reading Notes: Filipino Part B

-
When reading another set of stories this week, I was eager to see what the Filipino Tales had in store again. Because I really enjoyed these stories last time, I had a good feeling about it. My favorite story came from the Filipino Tales once again! My notes are found below.

Although all of the stories from the Filipino Tales were entertaining and well-written, one particular story stood out to me. The story is called, "The Lost Necklace." I liked this story the best for a couple reasons. One reason is that this story was by far the most bizarre yet intriguing story to me. It is a story about a crow who purchased a beautiful necklace. The crow's good friend, the hen, asked to borrow it, but ended up losing it. Seeing how the crow went about it, and the punishment the crow gave to the hen, was interesting to me. This whole story was so entertaining that I almost wish there was more to it!

A little background from me: I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado - more specifically in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Although I loved living in Colorado, I always knew I wanted to attend college out of town. Everyone always asked me why I would ever choose to leave Colorado to go to Oklahoma. I often laugh because leaving the mountains and crisp air for cloudy and humid sounds a little crazy. However, Oklahoma has b...

The Vampire and His Wife Once upon a time there was this beautiful young lady. She was blonde, had blue eyes and was average height. She was 22 years old and desperate to find love. One day, her friend sat her down and asked her what she is looking for in a man. “Tall, dark and handsome,” she blurted out immediately. The young lady searched for hours a day in hopes that she would meet her Prince Charming. She felt pressure to find love so quick because she was the only friend without it. She grew envious of her friends and was determined that 22 would be the year she was going to get married. One day, the young lady and her friend set out to the town to search for a man. They passed by many good-looking men, but the young lady was not satisfied. “Maybe we should just give up and try another day,” the young lady said in disappointment. Her friend declined her request and decided to take the young lady to one more place before she could give up. The young lady and her friend ...
