I found the stories of the “Jealous Uncle” to be strange and
terrifying for a child. I feel like most of these tales are passed down and
told to generations of tribe members. I cannot imagine hearing a story about my
uncle killing my siblings. In this story the young boy was the hero because he
finally got rid of the mean uncle, but he also used all the resources he had to
survive the obstacles that uncle put him through. I found the last of the story
to be strange. I understood the significance of the eagle, but not how the
child seemed to put on a suit and become one. I found this part very far-fetched
and had a hard time wrapping my mind around it to create a mental image. The
story did keep my attention because I was constantly worrying if the boy was
going to survive or not. I do not know that I could use this story as a
retelling because I don’t think I can create a scenario with an uncle that
kills children.
