ch.6

This chapter was very interesting with traditional literature. The tales, folktales, myths and legends are very fun to read. For they are part of American and world stories that all people like. The folktales are stories of adventures and also they make objects and animals seem really real. Th myths are very interesting because big movie companies are turning these stories into movies every year. Legends sometimes still believe are real and think that these people were greater than God. As the chapter says that these type of stories interest kids to make them want to write. Using real human struggle and aspects of understanding the world around you will make good stories. I really liked this chapter in dealing with traditional literature. It really broke down in the past what went into children literature. Literature has changed a little from traditional literature. The chapter really shows how all the cultures around the world played a part in literature.
