Topic Research

The three stories I chose to focus in on are The Fox and The Stork, The Fox Without a Tail, and The Fox and the Crow. All of the stories are from Aesop's fables and have the fox as the main trickster. In The Fox and The Stork, the fox cooks for the stork but puts food in a shallow plate that only the fox can eat out of and the stork in return makes food and pours it into a narrow jar. In the Fox Without a Tail, a fox loses his tail and tries to convince other foxes to also get rid of their tail so that he won't feel as ashamed and embarrassed to have a missing tail. In the Fox and the Crow, a crow has a piece of cheese on her beak and the fox compliments her singing and asks her to sing a song so as soon as she started singing, she dropped the piece of cheese that was quickly snatched by the fox. I want to try to turn these stories around by having the trickster be tricked.

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 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 ...

Week 4 Story: A Lion without his Tail

Image
   This story is now on my portfolio:  link     A lion was on his usual hunting routine in the forest. He stealthily hid behind trees and bushes as he tried to stay out of sight of his prey. He moved slowly to avoid making any noise. Behind the bushes, a group of hunters were camouflaged and slowly approaching the antelope with the same goal in mind as the lion. The hunters set traps in the forest ahead of time and were waiting to scare the antelope into one of their traps in order to capture the antelope. The lion was so focused on the antelope in plain sight that he did not realize the people in the forest who were also hunting the antelope. The lion beat the hunters to making the first move as he decided to dash straight towards the antelope. The lion built up speed so that the antelope would not have enough time to run away but by the time the lion spotted the trap, it was too late to stop his momentum and he ran straight into a trap set by the hunter...
