Storyteller

So far I like that this book is a compilation of many stories, because it shows off different perspectives by using various methods of storytelling. I noticed that some of the stories seem to be myths and legends that depicts a past for the native people, and shows the origin of elements such as rain and evil. I get a sense that there are bits of fairy tales and fables incorporated, mainly because some of the stories give me a sense of morality that is open to further interpretation. The pictures in the book provide a realistic image of historical landmarks that the people pride themselves on. While some of the stories may seem confusing at first, they are soon explained by the succeeding stories that have some of the same characters and ideas.
