Picture of the word to today with tomorrow crossed out under it. Source: flickr So far, I would say that I am pretty happy about my progress over the semester. I feel as if my writing ability has gotten a lot better over the time of being in this class which is what I am most proud of. Doing my assignments though have not been as routinely as I would like. Due to such a busy schedule with other classes and work, I am not always ahead of the game as I wish I could be when it comes to the assignments.My schedule is never the same every week so it is hard to do them the same time every week and had to miss a couple assignments here and there. To make up for those assignments I always do some of the extra credit assignments every week. The major change that I want to make for the second half of the semester is to try to get work done ahead. I would like to be at least a week ahead of schedule all the time so I always have room to do other stuff if needed. With my busy sched...
Michael Jordan in the air about to dunk Source: Deviantart After looking back through my different writings throughout my blogs, I can honestly say that I am happy on how it is going. When this class started I thought it would be a bit of a challenge constantly coming up with stories and having to write a lot since i'm not a strong writer. As the weeks have gone on though, writing as become much easier and I feel as if I am even more creative. The reading notes I am taking do help for my story but I also do believe I can improve on them a little more. I hope that by the end of this class I will be a writing wiz and able to carry it on throughout my career because writing is such a useful tool to have. I chose the image above as my favorite from my past stories because this image is such an iconic image. Everyone knows and loves Michael Jordan and this image is one of my favorite pictures of him from back in the day.
Lion and Crane Source: Un-Textbook For my story notes this week I chose to do them over Indian Fairy Tales. This reading is a multiple different stories within one reading. Each story is different and has its own setting and plot line. Two of the stories that stood out to me were "The Lion and the Crane" and "The Tiger, The Brahman, and the Jackal." These two stories are both similar in content. Both of the stories have an animal known to kill who are saved by someone or something else and does not return any favor for saving the beast. In “The Lion and the Crane” a crane saves a lion from choking on a bone and the lion says to the crane his reward is him not being eaten. In “the Tiger, Brahman, and the Jackal” the Brahman saves a tiger from a cage but the tiger says he’s going to eat the Brahman after he got out. The tiger then had to be tricked back into the cage to save the Brahman’s life. I think it would be a great turn around to make a new story with...
