Reading Notes: Nigeria Myths EXTRA CREDIT

Of the Pretty stranger who Killed the King notes:

The main character is MBOTU a famous king of Old Town, Calabar. He had many enemies and they wanted to kill him but they couldn't. The people of the town was not strong enough. Therefore they found a witch that could turn herself into anything she wanted. This reminds me of situations we have today within out presidential and governmental system. There are always a group of people who are not pleased with decisions made during elections or even after elections. They may not be satisfied with the decisions the president makes. I am thinking I may choose a past President of the United States and have one of the citizens that want to kill the President to turn into the Vice-President or someone who does not pose a threat to the President. It would be a cool idea to maybe have multiple people running for Vice-President and have the one he likes the most, turn on him.

The king became aware of the witch because of how beautiful she was after she converted herself. The witched treated the king kindly and got close to him and gave him medicine that made him fall in a deep sleep and she stabbed him. I think I might change the way the king/president is killed.

STAY TUNED FOLK-MATES !

    Hi Taylor! I'm glad I noticed this post; the reading units for Africa are coming up later in the semester; the idea this week is that there is an Anthology of stories that everybody in the class reads for Week 2; if you follow this link for the Reading B you will find it ... so you can declare this as extra credit reading for Week 2 (yay for extra credit!) -- but for the actual Reading B, the Anthology and instructions are here, and you'll be writing your story on something from the Anthology this week (that way everybody has read the starting stories): Week 2: Reading B - Anthology.

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 ...

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...
