Type of Folklore for My Project
- The type of Folklore I am exploring for my project is of all three oral ,customary, and material.
- My project is considered oral folklore because these sayings are passed down verbally from one generation to the next generation.
- My project is also considered customary folklore because most if not all are based on beliefs and even superstitions. These sayings can also be based on the act of dance and game.
- Finally, my project uses materials, such as a broom and even the human body as well as an animals presence.
Research I have Done Thus Far (Nov. 21)
- So far I have asked different individuals of saying they may have grown up hearing.
- I have also used a website about different sayings to help guide me through the origins and how they became folklore tales.
- I have created my project abstract.
- I have looked at different Folklore books and websites.
Interesting Information Found
- I have found that a lot of the sayings we hear today have come from the bible.
- Some sayings that I am interested in have come from war times and even from the peasants and servants.
- I have also found that many of the sayings come from Greek Mythology.
