Extra Reading Diary: Southwestern and California Legends

For this week, I finished the Southwestern and California Legends unit. The stories from the Pima people in Arizona were again my favorites, as I could imagine the places that they were taking place really easily.

The first story that I really liked was The Children of Cloud, which tells the story of how mescal started growing on the sides of mountains. I thought the story was incredibly fun and interesting. I really wasn’t sure when I started reading where it was headed, but I thought that the outcome was definitely unexpected. The tests that Cloud put his children through to prove they were his were kind of crazy, but I can understand that he probably would want to make sure those claiming to be his children were telling the truth.
