Reading Notes: Myth-Folklore Anthology

-
I chose to take notes Origin Stories:The Moon. In the overview, It mentions how different cultures have different approaches to how things are made. It is always interesting to me to see the creativity in some of the stories.

The Man in the Moon story was interesting to read because the man started out as a blacksmith. He complained and was granted to turn into a rock. His complaints were endless and he turned into multiple things until the wiseman told him he has to stay being the moon. If I were to re-write this story I would use the same story line but just change the things he turn into. I have always had this weird obsession with sloths. I think it would be cool to talk about how the sloths were made in a mythological way.

I am probably going to start the character off as a teacher and have him complain about how bad the students are. Next, I am going to have him turn into a landscaper  because he wants peace and then he turns into fish because landscaping made him thirsty and he wants water. If he was a fish he could have enough water to quench his thirst. However, he ran into a problem! He always had to swim away from sharks. Finally he requested to be a sloth so he could relax. The wiseman granted his request and he became a sloth.

Taylor’s Introduction !

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are General Science, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took when considering science is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together. My favorite flowers are Hibiscus flowers and Roses. Both of these flowers have a wonderful fragrance. Outside of gardening you ...

Demon or My Child : Week 3 Story

I can remember like yesterday, it was the happiest day of my husband and I lives. We had our first child March 13th, 2002. Her name is Mahleeyha Calvert. As a baby she was the sweetest. I can remember every morning I would walk into her room and she would have the biggest smile on her face holding onto the side of her crib waiting for me. I swear he smile was brighter than the sun shinning on California. I treasure those days because recently she's been acting like a completely different child. It scares me. It is almost like something has possessed her. I came home after work as usual and I could hear a weird tapping noise and a random scream. I ran to her room thinking someone was hurting her but she spasming out and shaking her head furiously while tapping on the window by her bed. I was shook. I did not know if I need to hold her or run. She turned around abruptly and I could see my little girl in her eyes. She then ran past me, down the stairs and went outside. She grabbed t...
