Week 11 Reading Notes Part A: The Eagle's Revenge

A hunter hears a noise and checks to see what it is.  He finds an eagle eating a deer he shot so he shoots the eagle.  The Chief orders for there to be an eagle dance because of the dead eagle and a person who seems to be from another tribe comes to the dance.  There are rattlers at the dance and the person who seemed to be from another tribe starts telling stories.  After each story, he would yell out, "hi," and one of the rattlers would die.  This happens until all the rattlers are dead and everyone is very scared.  The strange person disappears and people later find out that he was the brother of the eagle that was killed.

I thought this story really showed a unique style of story telling.  I really liked how different it was and I would love to retell it.  I think it would be really challenging to match the style because I have never written a story like this before, but if I could pull it off it would feel very rewarding and I feel like it would greatly enhance my writing abilities!
