Reading Notes: Jamaica Anansi Stories Part A

Reading a series of short stories is nothing new in this course or in the area of culture's individual folk stories that are passed down through the generations. Constructing a story around the misadventures of a scheming and mischievous animal would allow for creativity to be brought to the forefront. Constructing a series of smaller more direct tales would allow for different stories to take place in a variety of different ways, with a wide range of characters being present in the story telling phase. Do I tell a series of smaller stories that are all intertwined in one way or another? Or do I instead approach it as a series of short stories, each with the intention of teaching a lesson to the reader in the end?
