My favorite tall tale charachter is John Henry. John Henry has a good heart. John Henry gave his life, just to beat the steam drill in a competiion. He saved many peoples jobs that day, and got people land. Though he died, which is very sad. But he did keep his promice to his beloved wife. On their wedding day, John Henry got a hammer, then said he would die with it in his hands. That is why he is my most favorite tall tale charachter.

My favorite tall tale character is Paul Bunyan. One reason why is because he was very helpful the other loggers. The second reason is because of his ox Babe. When Babe and Paul resalled and made some of the mountains. The song was nice and joyful to me. The movie made Paul seem fuuny. The part were paul faist the chain saw. The chain saw won because he cut down a tree that was bigger then Paul dad. That is wy I like Paul Bunyan!

My favriot tall tale character is John Henrey. I like John Henery because hes strong and has faith in him. He has loyal talking and i like his twenty pound hammer. I also like how he hold two twenty pound hammers and hammers through the mountain. I like how he said he had to beat the steam over and over. I like when he died he had his hammers in his hands. I also like how he would sing a song well he pounds nails into the railroad track. When he got married he told Pollie Ann that he was going to die with his hammer.

My favorite character in tall tales is Paul Bunyan. I think he is awesome! I like that he is really tall in the story. I also like that when he was a baby he could where his fathers cloths. I also like that he slept on a raft! I love that he has a Ox named Babe, and she was frozen when he found her! I also like that he has to use a 20 pound ax to chop wood. He cuts so many trees with that ax.

I like Paul Bunyan. I think he's cool becaus he made the great lakes with his foot! He's also cool becaus he made The Grand Canyon. I bet you didn't know this: When logging was just invented there was a round lake. That always made Paul's worckers get lost. So Paul dug it into a round lake! He's also cool becaus he has a big blue ox named Babe. I mean come on, who dosn't want a big huge ox! My favorite charcter is Paul Bunyan. He is my favorite because he can chop down 10 trees in one swipe. Also he has a big blue ox.He could take three steps and go across two states. Also he made a lot of diffrent landmarks. He is a very big and intresting tall tale chracter. That is my favorite chracter and why.

My favorite tall tale character is Paul Bunyan. I think he is amazing. I love the wa that when he has a baby he had to sleep on a gigantic raft and whenever he turned he created a title wave! I also love the fact that Babe was frozen when Paul found her and she was blue ever since then. I also think that Paul and Babe are funny because they create mountains when they play around. I love how this story comes together. I wish that there were more like it!

My faverite story was the one with Pecoes Bill. I like him because he was not afraid of anything. Another reason is that he rode a tornado threw Arizona. As the tornado was going thrgh Arazona it made the Grand Canyan. I also liked this story because he whipped the tarnation out of the snake and the mountion lion. I liked this story because he used the snake for a whip and the moution lion for a horse. these reasons are why i like this story of Pecos Bill.

My favorite Tall Tale charater is Paul Bunyan. One reason I like him is because he's really tall. I also like him because he made a lumberjack camp and I like Lumberjacks. I also like that he has a blue ox named Babe. I like that that Babe and Paul work togather to gather up wood and bring it back to the camp. I also like Babe because oxs are my third favorite animal. I like that Paul can cut at least ten trees at oe time.

my favorite tall tale is pecos bill because he rode a mountain lion.he used a rattle snake as a whip. he also used a prickly pear(the fruit of a cati) to wipe his mouth off. he also rode a tornado that created the grand canyon. the sad part of that story is that his horse died. he killed all the bad men. some people said that he really rode a tornado.

My favorite character in the tall tale unit is Paul Bunyan. I pick Paul is because even though he was huge he still did things like a normal kid. He went to school, he swam, he had homework, and he loved to play tag with his friends. Some unordanary things about Paul are, his clouths, his size, the size of his ax he got for cristmas, and how much he ate. For breakfast he ate ten barells of porrage and two gallons of milk. As Paul grew up the town he lived in got to small so he moved to the forest. That year was the year of two winters and wile he was making a fire he found a frozen blue ox and helped it out. Thay quickly became friends and Paul named it Babe. When spring came Paul started logging again with Babe by his side. That's why Paul Bunyan is my favorite character in the tall tale unit.

I also like Johnny Appleseed as another Tall Tale character. One of the reasons I like Johnny is because he plants apples the reason I like that is because I enjoy eating apples. Another reason why I like Johnny is because he tried to plant apple seeds across the whole Nation. Even though he had very few clothes and a pan for a hat he's a great inspiration for kids everywhere. He's also a good role model for young kids and even older kids. He is also really good at planting apples. Johnny was a good friend to all of the animals including the bears and mountain lions. Some also say that he was killed in his sleep by some of the bears. 12/5/2010 09:03:12 am
I like the story of Johnny Appleseed because he went around and planted appled trees all over where he lived. He also tried to plant apple trees all over the whole nation. He was very kind to animals, especially bears and mountain lions. He followed the pioneers on their trail to the west. He picked so many apples that he ran out of apples on his trees. Johnny Appleseed was a tall tale hero who helped the environment by planting the trees. Some say that he died when he was resting and he never woke up.

I know I have already did two Tall Tale charcters. But I want to do one last one k okay. My last favorite Tall Tale character is Pecos Bill.One of the reasons why I like Pecos Bill is because he is the best cowboy that ever lived.I also like that he can ride tornados that created the Grand Canyon,also he rode a fish, and a mountain lion. He got to ride the mountain lion by whipping it with a rattle snake. Whenever any bad people that would try to rob a bank or rob a normal every day person he would catch them and give whoever it was to the law of the town. He also uesed a prickly pear(a fruit from cactuses) to wipe the mouth off. And their ya have't all of my top 3 Tall Tale characters from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I hope that the characters that I have chosen suit you to your needs Mrs.Boes.
