Review of Gregorio Cortez

I think that this story was okay to read, although it didn't keep my attention the entire time. I was suprised to see how my different versions there were of this story. As I started to read it, right away it came to mind that this was a fable. However, it is a true story in some right.

In my comonplace book entry, I wrote a quote from page 114 when it talks about the three ingredients in the legend. For instance, there is straight fact, fact that is exaggerated into fiction and pure folklore. I found this to be true when reading all the different varients. It is like that game that was played in class, called telephone. When passed from person to person words adn sounds tend to get misused. It is even more like this when the legend is passed on from generation to generation. Think about how many folk tales you have heard that has been passed on down. How did those legends come about? The story of Gregorio Cortez is a great example of this point.
