The Moon:
Before reading all of the stories on the Myth-Folklore Anthology I was sure that I would choose to retell a story that I enjoyed, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. The story The Man in the Moon originated in Southeast Asia and is about a very fickle blacksmith whom constantly wishes to be something else until a wise man decided that the blacksmith will stay the moon. In my opinion, this story is meaningful and beautiful and deserves more detail than it was given in this telling. In accordance to this, the writing style of this story was short and choppy and could be more eloquently written. I look forward to retelling this story with more detail and a different perspective!
