This outside reading was supposed to be about any aspect of a culture different from your own. So I read a book with a bunch of Irish jokes, stories, and proverbs. The book had a bunch of pretty witty jokes. For example one features a man who wears a pair of not matching socks, when questioned about them he says that he has a pair just like them at home. There are also a bunch of great stories, many of which have to do with the different fairies. Most of the fairies are very mischievous much like Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The stories in the book describe a rich Irish culture centered around much folklore. This can be proven by the example of the Irish language, or Gaelic. Irish is a beautiful language which is made to flow seamlessly while telling stories. The book certainly describes this type of language.
