I really enjoyed reading the unit on Native American Marriage Tales from Tales of the North American Indians by Stith Thompson. I was initially drawn to the unit because I am a sucker for a good love story. I liked how the general theme of all the stories was about forbidden love. I would like to incorporate this theme into my own story. I think that a story about forbidden love would go very nicely with my theme of choosing joy. I specifically enjoyed the story, The Dog-Husband. I really liked how the wife overcame the adversity that was brought upon her by the death of her unborn children's father. She decided to choose joy and raised her children to be respectable people.
