Why Mosquitoes
Buzz in People's Ears
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears
is a picture book by Verna Aardema and illustrated by Leo
and Diane Dillon told in the form of a cumulative tale written for young
children, which tells an African legend. In this origin story, the mosquito lies to a lizard, who puts sticks in his
ears and ends up frightening another animal, which down a long line causes a
panic. In the end, an owlet is killed and
the owl is too sad to wake the sun until the animals hold court and find out
who is responsible. The mosquito is eventually found out, but it hides
in order to escape punishment. So now it constantly buzzes in people's ears to
find out if everyone is still angry at it.
Guilty Conscience:

Apollo
killing Python
Python became the chthonic enemy of the later Olympian deity Apollo,
who slew him and remade Python's former home and the oracle, the most famous in
Classical Greece, as his own. Changes such as these in ancient myths may
reflect a profound change in the religious concepts of Hellenic culture. Some
were gradual over time and others occurred abruptly following invasion.

Frame Story
is a literary technique that sometimes serves as a companion
piece to a story within a story, whereby an introductory or main
narrative is presented, at least in part, for the purpose of setting the stage
either for a more emphasized second narrative or for a set of shorter stories.
The frame story leads readers from a first story into another, smaller one (or
several ones) within it.
Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner
are a duo of characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie
Melodies series of cartoons. In the cartoons, Coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner,
a fast-running ground bird, but is never successful. Coyote, instead of
his species' animal instincts, uses absurdly complex contraptions (sometimes in
the manner of Rube Goldberg) and elaborate plans to pursue his prey, which
always comically backfire with Wile normally getting injured by the slapstick
humor.
Wile E Coyote
is one of the
main antagonists in the show. He is driven by his unending appetite, he
is willing to risk his life to catch the Road
Runner. And, thanks to his constant supply of bad ideas and Acme
products, his life is always at risk.
The Road Runner
The adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River.
It is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal,
Missouri, where Twain lived.
Quotes from the adventures of Tom Sawyer
a.The widow she
cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called
me a lot of other names,[指名道姓] too, but she never meant no harm by it.
b.She put me in them
new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up.
c.I couldn't make
out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers
run over me.
d.The stars were
shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever
so mournful.

Sawyer--MISS WATSON
Miss Watson is
Widow Douglas' sister, "a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles

the good parts of civilization, Miss Watson is the
bad parts. The nagging parts

the
Mississippian people, well known for their mound building. European history in the region began in the
very earliest days of the exploration and colonization of North America. Spain,
France, and England eventually explored and claimed parts of what is now the Southern United States, and the cultural
influences of each can still be seen in the region today. In the
centuries since, the history of the Southern United States has recorded a large
number of important events, including the American Revolution, the American
Civil War, the ending of slavery, and the American Civil Rights Movement.
