Because it was very interesting. This whole unit to me has been very interesting. I think that for such a long story I was interested for the most part. It had a lot of crazy events in the story and has valuable lesions too.

It had a lot of sudden events in one time. It fits in the topic of perseverance and determination for success. The folktale had deep morals universally and personally. ]]> 2021-02-25 14:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241081575 Nathan zaino nathanz9267_2 https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241220433 my favorite myth was the Ganesh with the elephant head because I like the elephant head and think that was pretty funny also it was good because Ganesh stuck up for his mom]]> 2021-02-25 14:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241220433 Keira Liconte https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241222204 My favorite folktale was "Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky" This folktale was interesting to read and had a cool concept. ]]> 2021-02-25 14:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241222204 RyAn Kufeld https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241222229 My favorite folktale was "Why Anansi has Eight Thin Legs" because I feel like I can relate to Anansi because he is impatient and I am also impatient at times and he tried to find a way to have everything basically hand delivered to him without waiting, and he got karma for doing that because everybody pulled him at the same time. I am just as impatient sometimes so I feel like it has a connection to me

It was really interesting because what it told you, it told you that you must stay loyal and betray who you trust was that is really important. How one can do anything to protect what they believe and never give up.]]> 2021-02-25 14:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241225326 Christos Hamakiotes hamakioteschristos https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241227869 My favorite folktale was "The Man Who Never Lies" this is my favorite because I think it sends a very important message that you can never rely on someone to do something. Especially if it is something really important. I liked this more than the other folktales because I thought that it was different than other things I have read. I don't usually read things that have the same message as that folktale so reading something different was nice.]]> 2021-02-25 14:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241227869 Flora Chen https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241230821 My favorite myth was “How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head” because I liked how loyal Ganesh was to Parvati by never thinking about going against her orders and willingly risking his life to allow no one in. One of the messages of this myth is to stand for what you believe in because the gods were trying to get Ganesh to move out of the way, but Ganesh didn't allow it and had to fight them to protect Parvati. I like the story because Ganesh had good intentions for his actions and was able to stay with Parvati at the very end.

In this story Ganesh stays loyal to family and does not let the gods convince him to do otherwise. I also like how in the end he is rewarded for his loyalty because when someone is rewarded for something it encourages people to be like that person. Ganesh was a good person so that is a good example.]]> 2021-02-25 14:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241236413 Maha https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241240501 My favorite myth/folktale that we explored in this unit was "Why Anansi Has Eight Thin Legs". I thought that it was a great folktale with many underlying morals. Although it was short, it taught me just as much as a longer story would.

As I was reading the short story , I was intreged the whole way. He had a lot of weight put on his shoulders regarding if he was gonna lie to the queen or not but he didn't.

For example there are many stories about treating people well but there are not many that tell you to not over exert yourself. In addition I think this story conveys it's moral very well by showing how the webs represent commitment and how too many of them can pull you apart.]]> 2021-02-25 15:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241486069 Kingston Daniells- Silva daniellssilvakingston https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241769055 My favorite folktale was why Anansi Has Eight Thin legs because it has a great moral. The moral to the story is to not be greedy and I feel like that is one of the best morals because it would help the world so much if people were not so greedy. Lots of the morals in the other stories are good as well but this one stands out because like I have heard before greed for things is the root of evil.]]> 2021-02-25 16:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241769055 Derek Chen https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241778524 My favorite folktale was "The Man Who Never Lies", I liked it because the man not only outsmarted the King, but kept his promise where he would never lie. The wise man was extremely intelligent and was very careful with his words. It was satisfying to see the wise man not fall for the King's bait. ]]> 2021-02-25 16:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241778524 caohaoyuan https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1241849356 My favorite myths would be the African folktales because it has a meaningful message especially the story about Anansi.

This is because it really shows the extent the characters go to achieve their goals, I thought it was definitely a very captivating story. https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1242321929 -Brandon Vilanova]]> 2021-02-25 17:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1242321929 My. favorite folktale was "The Man Who Never Lied." Even though the king was malicious and wanted to humiliate the man, he failed. The man wasn't blinded by the king's power. He was able to expose the king's cruelty. https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243142785 -Jude Chernin]]> 2021-02-25 20:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243142785 Adriana Jones jonesadriana1 https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243847023 "How Parvati won the heart of Shiva" is my favorite folktale because it shows a very important and meaningful message about that you should be determined to achieve your goals no matter what, and to not let anyone/anything stop you]]> 2021-02-26 01:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243847023 My favorite folktale is "The Man Who Never Lied" just because It teaches us a very important lesson for the future or even now. He was able to show who the king really was and how horrible he was he didn't need to lie about it. But I also think he trying to show us that we have no reason to lie because it will take us no where in life. But he was able to show the King's true color and how he really was no matter what he wanted to prove it so people would believe him. moncadaalicia https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243855080 2021-02-26 01:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1243855080 My favorite folktale was "How Ganesh got his Elephant Head" because it was a really fun story to read, and I had always wondered why Ganesh was depicted with an elephant head.

Anansi got greedy and was grateful for what he had in the moment and it eventually caught up to him.]]> 2021-02-26 10:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1244630505 Luiciary Then https://padlet.com/marmogiovanna/7c040wgr2d62ii8l/wish/1244666417 My favorite African folktale is “Why Anansi Has Eight Thin Legs”  It teaches the importance of appreciation and how greed is never the answer.
