Week 8 Reading and Writing

Overall, the reading and writing assignments have been wonderful! I really enjoy reading every week and I look forward to it as a stress reliever. My favorite readings have been Aesop’s fables because they’re short, sweet, and simple. They leave me with a nice ending each time and a moral with a lasting impression. I am really happy with my class project, I have been doing a lot of extra credit to finish the class early and realized that I’ll finish the class before I finish my project so I’m sad about not finish the project in the end. My biggest accomplishment has been the revising process when I transfer stories to my portfolio. When I reread my story after all of the revisions, I could see the improvement and how much better the story became. 


Rapunzel looking down at her lover on her balcony: DeviantArt

I chose this image because I really liked the romantic story between the girl and the thief in Twenty Two Goblins and I was glad I could make a connection to Rapunzel because they both looked out over a balcony at their lover. Looking forward, I hope to have more time to read the stories out loud because I get a lot more out of the readings that way but I unfortunately haven't had enough time to read them out loud.

Introduction to an Adventurous Girl

If I could sum myself up in one word, it would have to be clumsy! I once dislocated my knee while watching a movie and I have sprained my ankle quite a few times from falling down the stairs or just tripping over air. I am a micro-biology major entering into my junior year at OU. I aspire to be a physician’s associate one day in urgent care and then pediatric orthopedics. I have insanely over protective parents, so this one time when I got a nose bleed, they called 911... I have 3 older siblings (yes, the last time we took a picture together was my high school graduation). I hear a lot of people say that they don't get along with their siblings but I spend a lot of time hanging out with my brothers and sister.                                                                          My siblings and I at my high school graduation: Photo taken by Van Tran I love being outdoors so I was mostly outside this summer playing volleyball, swimming, hiking, playing tennis, and getting

Week 7 Story: The Cave of Gold

  This story is now on my portfolio! Here is the link        One day in a house on the outskirts of a forest, there lived a family of nine. A father and his wife had seven daughters. The dad went out late at night to gather wood for the fire and discovered seven wild duck eggs that would be perfect for breakfast the next morning. He hid them in his bedroom with the selfish thought of not sharing with any of his children.      The wife woke up early in the morning to cook breakfast for the family and discovered the duck eggs in a drawer with her clothes. She fried them up one by one for each daughter as they woke up and walked into the kitchen. She made each one promise not to tell anyone else or they would not receive a duck egg. The father was the last one to wake up and he excitedly opened his drawer to look for the wild duck eggs that he could eat for breakfast but discovered that they were no longer there. He caught a whiff of the lingering scent of the fried duck eggs coming f
