Reading Notes Part B: Marriage Tales

This is an interesting set of stories. In many of them, the human turns into an animal or vice versa. I know that the Native American tribes' spirituality aligns closely with animals. I am Osage.

I believe that I am helping when it comes to grammar, but the content aspect could use improvement. I realize just how immense the possibilities can be when it comes to writing our weekly stories. I do not feel like I am getting to know people because I usually do not connect with people over the internet. I have to see and talk to people physically in order to feel like I have any sense of who they are. I am happy with my introduction post.
