Here are my notes from one of the stories from the second half of the Brer Rabbit reading unit.


Mr. Rabbit Meets His Match Again 

Brer Rabbit and Brer Buzzard agreed that they were going to share some crops. The Buzzard did not get any crops, and Rabbit acted like he did not get any either. Buzzard claims that if he and Rabbit are able to go across the river, they will find a lot of crops to share. Brer Buzzard is going to fly Rabbit on his back in order to get across the river.


The two rest on a tree branch and Rabbit says that he has his own crop that he can share with Buzzard. Rabbit convinces Buzzard to bring him back across the river and has to promise that he is actually going to split the crop up fairly. When they got back, Rabbit had trouble walking from being weak in the knees for a month later.


This story features characters that have previously been at odds working together. I think that this is a positive message that might  be fun to recreate in a future story.

Characters:

Rabbit
- dishonest
- tricky
- clever

Buzzard
-trusting
-vengeful
-forgiving

Personal image of myself. Anyway, there are a lot of things that are important to know about me. I am studying public relations. I have an adorable dog named Maggie (see image below), and I am obsessed with Gilmore Girls. Most aspects of my life all come back to one thing though, and that is my love of food. Personal image. My Pomeranian, Maggie.  I have the strong belief that food can bring people together and bring out the best in them. Some of my favorite childhood memories took place at various family holiday meals. Food has also been one way that I can experience parts of other cultures without traveling far from home. Different dishes serve as different reminders of certain people or moments. The practice of sharing a meal with someone is almost a sacred act to me, and I
