Human/Nature
Reflection
On this tale, the start was interesting. And why do I say that? It is because it’s ironic that the women’s name is coyote and I automatically thought, “What?” It talked to a child, an injured child. Coyote was actually a human. Therefore, the child had a busted eye. Knowing that it was a child, it was quite shocking how this child handled his pain so well. As the story flowed on it really caught my attention. I actually got engaged into the story. The way coyote and the child survived throughout the story was fascinating to me, it seemed like they never really eat much but until they got their hands on something, they went all out on the food.
What really disgust me in this story was coyote. She was a woman who had good morals except some action she does. The way she does things like how she would poop or pee anywhere was really disturbing. Also after going number two she would talk to the poop as if it was a person. It brings the reputation of coyote down and I how I would think of it. Coyote did take great care of the child and doing the right things for the child but just had some manner issues. She would always swear in front of the child. As they went on their journey, they came across many people. They met Chipmunk which was a lady who was like a mother. The child met Jay who was the doctor. The doctor seemed a little strange to me. Usually you think of doctors as kind and with a nice appearance, but apparently this guy was not. He was a bulky, tall and had huge hands; broad shoulder, a big head, and a short neck which made him look even scarier. Jay eventually help the child with the eye, he inserted a new yellow eye that seem to satisfy the child with her vision. They also came across Horse. Horse was the one who had been nice enough take the child to find her parents. As they go they meet a girl named Chickadee. Chickadee was their scout and so they tagged along with each other. I thought that it was such a coincidence that they would have all these people they came across to be so caring and needy.
