Week 6: Nigerian Folk Stories
Of the Pretty Stranger who Killed the King:This was a pretty good story, and it had a good moral: do not marry a stranger no matter how pretty she may be. I could change this one up a lot if I wanted to. I would like to change the end where no one thinks about or realizes it was his new wife who killed him.
The Disobedient Daughter who Married a Skull:
I would like to do this story because I could make the daughter super rebellious and disobedient to where the audience thinks she gets what she deserves when she ends up marrying a skull. I might even let them eat her in the end!
Why the Worms live Underneath the Ground:
I have always been interested in stories that explain why things are. This type of story is definitely something that catches my eye when I see it.
Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky:
I think that this story could have been a lot better if it was longer. I could elaborate a lot more on this story and make it much more interesting!
The Lightening and the Thunder:
I liked this story because there is a lot of room for change. I could even change the thunder and lightening to two totally different elements. I could add some reasons about why the lightening (son) gets mad and what the thunder (mother) yells at him.
The Cock Who Caused a Fight:
I think it would be fun to do a plot twist with this story.
The Hippopotamus and the Tortoise:
I actually really liked this story. I thought it was kind of fun, and I liked how clever the tortoise was!
Of the Fat Woman who Melted Away:
This is about a jealous woman making a fat woman made out of wax go into the sun so that she would melt. I think it would be fun to change it up and do something about the wax woman wanting to lose weight or something.
