Reading Diary B: Cherokee Myths Continued



As I was reading this story all I could imagine is a huge stickball game being played between these two groups of animals. Stickball was not only a game played for fun but it was also used as a way to create peace between feuding tribes. The players usually were the tribe’s greatest warriors like the bear and the terrapin were for the animal team. In the case of the bird team, their greatest warriors might not have been strong but they were cunning and determined to prove themselves. I think that this story shows that you may be the underdog but that should never keep you from trying. If the two small animals (the bat and the flying squirrel) would have given up, they never would have had the opportunity to see who they really were and become who they were supposed to be.
