Today in class we discussed the Coyote and Pebbles reading.  The class came to the conclusion that this story is more intended for preteens or teens. However, I disagree. It is a creation story about how the stars came about. It involves night animals, that can morph into humans, calling upon the mystery for more light during the night time which the great mystery then tells them to throw shinning pebbles into the sky attempting to draw their portraits. The coyote shows up late and messes up all the portraits. To me this sounds like a very childish creation story. It has morals that tell people to not be selfish or cocky and to forgive. Which to me sound like morals for little kids, to not be selfish, forgive people for minor mistakes, since the coyotes mistake was minor, and to not be conceited. A story for teens or preteens would involve much more mature themes in my opinion. Also the fact that the story involves animals that morph into humans and an unknown entity known as great mystery.
