Zhestyrnak Zhestyrnak is a female evil demonic character of the Kazakh mythology. It usually appears as a beautiful young girl power. Zhestyrnak, in addition to her monstrous power, has a loud, piercing voice and kills birds and small animals with her own cry. She is a beauty with vampire nature. But unlike the European evil spirits Zhestyrnak is not afraid of silver — her clothes are full of gold and silver ornaments. Her hands end with long or woman with a copper nose and copper claws, possessing an evil character and incredible metal claws, which she never shows — hides them under long sleeves. Zhestyrnak hypnotizes a person with a cold, unblinking gaze, and when he falls asleep, she bites into him with her iron claws, sucking out all the blood. These creatures are incredibly dark-minded and revengeful. If Zhestyrnak is killed, then her husband, the Sorel, begins to take revenge for her.
Then learners discuss the structure of a legend and the purpose of each paragraph together (in small groups or as a whole class).
Structure: 1) exposition (protagonist-antagonist, setting (time & place), conflict/problem (internal/external)); 2) rising actions 3) climax 4) falling actions 5) resolution
