Reading A : West African Tales.

-
This week I decided to take a dive into the West African stories. I am starting with "How We Got the Name "Spider Tales" " The stories that were told are,  predominately about Nyankupon, the chief gods. However, the spider wanted the stories to be told about him. The spider also known as Anansi asked the chief for the stories to be told about him. In order for him to grant his wish the spider had to  bring him three things. This reminds me of a brag. "You scratchy back I will scratch yours". The spider cleverly fulfilled Nyankupon wish. He gave tricked the animals into following him to Nyankupon. He was impressed so he let the rest  of the stories be told about him. I think that I can use this story and make patrick the spider and spongebob squarepants the Nyankupon. I think I want to have patrick complain about being the main character of the show.

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.

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...
