Extra Credit Reading: Brer Rabbit, Part A

I did like this reading, but because the text was a little hard to understand, I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I could understand most of it, but certain phrases like, "he wuz one er deze yer natchul pacers" had me scratching my head. I liked the Tar-baby story a lot; to be honest, it was so unrealistic, I couldn't help but laugh! I actually found out more about these stories when I watched the Crash Course Mythology videoes about Tricksters. I had no idea that they were based off of slaves and plantation owners, so that was a cool continuation of the story.
