-"Life is too great a gift tone flung aside" I love this quote! I also like how at the end of the story the maiden and the sky youth ended up together.
Old Quanah's Gift
-I love how the blanket maker used herbs, roots, and flowers to make the dye for the color of the blankets. I also liked how he didn't make any blankets alike. I would love to see how beautiful this blanket was with the sun shinning bright in the middle. Also it was really cool that they decided the blanket maker was the one who should have the blanket.

-Story about a flood that was sent by an angry God to destroy a proud people. It reminded me of the flood our God sent, but of course his was for another reason than to destroy someone proud. Intrerting turn around.
