Wind Spirit. Wind Spirit was hardly mentioned‚ but right away‚ I got the idea that he was the mischievous character.

Both of these creation myths are full of unusual and unexplainable things; One of the weirdest is the matter of how the daughters became pregnant.

Critical Lens Book Report Fiction is an attempt to tell the truth about things we generally lie about. I agree because authors write books that tell every thing like it is and that it seems right but is very wrong‚ and they tell it with out censorship and make readers think is that the way friends‚ family ‚ and strangers think too because I can’t read their minds?
