Taylor's Myths

There are only a few things I absolutely hate in life and that is a liar and a stealer. I met a person who is both! I take pride in the sea-farm and house that my wife and I has created. One morning my wife was out watering the flowers in the back and a stranger approached the front door. I thought to myself, who in the Bikini Bottom is this, at my door looking homeless? I decided to open the door and he asked me if he could have a drink of water. I gave him something to drink because I felt bad  for him. We began to talk and he seemed like a nice guy. He just looked rough. His hair looked like it was thinning out, he had a huge stain on the front of his shirt and dirt on his pants. I was not sure what he might have gotten done doing.  I asked him, where was he from Bikini Top to visit Bikini Bottom. My ex wife, however, is from there. So, I asked him if he knew her. Her name is Sandy. Surprisingly enough he actually did know her.  He continued to say that...

This story is from the  Europa's Fairy Book  told by Joseph Jacobs.  A Visitor from Paradise This story is about a tramp coming to the door of a woman who was married twice. She asked him where he was from and he said "Paris" but she thought he said "Paradise". She then continued to ask him how was paradise and if he saw her husband. He actually did know her husband John Goody. Wha I found funny is she went into the house and grabbed a bunch of stuff for him to bring to her ex-husband. I think if i were to re-write this story I would make it more like a bad break-up. Haven't we all had that break-up where we wanted to get rid of all of the persons stuff. I would make Spongebob in the place of the woman and have one of Sandy's friends come by saying they are from where Sandy moved to. The tramp ended up taking the ladies Dobbin and running off with the clothes and the Dobbin. What is even crazier they took the door off the hinges to go look for th...

For this assignment I read,  25 ways to develop a growth mindset . I like the definition of a growth mindset that Carol Dwek gives. She said, " a growth mindset is a tendency to believe that you can grow". In this article they list 25 ways to develop a growth mindset and I really have an appreciation for the first one. "Acknowledge and embrace imperfections" This is a great statement because many people think that their imperfections are not good enough. When in it is because it is apart of your journey and it makes you, YOU! If someone does not acknowledge and embrace your imperfections, you wont be able to overcome them. "Stop seeking approval" Many of us do not progress in life because we are waiting for some type of approval to accomplish our dreams. We should put learning over approval.   Chase your dreams

I found Pandita Ramabai on Dr.Gibbs twitter. There  is an article  about her traveling around India in the 19th century to give lectures on women's emancipation and established one of the country's first women's shelters and schools.  I was intrigued because she is an activist. I look up to any woman who has enough courage to stand up for anything. She defied many of the odds in her time. She learned the Sanskrit which was reserved for men only. She also was an Indian woman who decided to convert ti Christianity. People referred to her as a Pandit. I wasn't sure what that meant so I searched it. A pandit is a woman who is the wife of a Brahmin scholar or a teacher of and field of knowledge in Hinduism.  This article continued to talk about a sanskrit. I have heard of a sanskrit before but I did not know the true meaning of it. I searched sanskrit and it is a language of ancient India. It is the predominant language of principle texts of Buddhism and Jainism. P...

I decided to use the Graphics Creation Tips for my technology tip. I created a meme  Automotivator , this is pretty cool because I haven't made a meme before. I chose this picture because I find this picture pretty humorous and the first thing that came to mind was the quote I attached. I wanted to do the typing test but I have nails on! I am going to do that one before the semester is over though!

This story is apart of the  English Fairy Tales (2) unit  written by Joseph Jacobs. This story is about sexton's wife and her big black cat who waited for the master to come and he came running in yelling, " Who's Tommy Tildrum?". He wanted to know who Tommy Tildrum was because he fell a sleep in a grave who belonged to Mr. Fordyce. He woke up from Miaou from a cat that looked like Old Tom. The cats wanted him to tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toidrum's dead. He did not know who Tom was so he couldn't tell anything. Tom spoke and said "What -- old Tom dead! Then I am the King o' the cats" I like these stories because they are unpredictable. I would have never thought this story was going to end that way. I thought the cats carrying the coffin was going to be violent in some way. If I were to re-write that story I would definitely do that! I also think the ending of the story was a little bad. It ended with the cat running up the chimney. I fee...

I can recall, when I was a little sponge, my mother would get up every morning and cook breakfast for my father and I. My mother would cook some pancakes, biscuits with fresh jelly jam, bacon, sausage and eggs. Those were the best days of my life. While she was cooking I would be outside rolling around on my skateboard. She would yell out the kitchen window when the food was ready. She was the best mother ever.  Just as frequent as she would cook breakfast, she would say,"Now, SpongeBob you be a good boy today and STAY AWAY from the skate park down town". I never really understood why she would tell me that everyday. Me, being the good boy that I was, I never went to the skate park downtown. It was time to go to school after breakfast and I saw the bus parked outside the house. I asked my mother if it was okay that I rode my skate board to school. Surprisingly she said, "Yes, SpongeBob. Be safe son.".  I screamed out, "YOUR'E THE BEST MOM!...

This story,  Mr.Miacca  comes from the storybook  English Fairy Tales  told by Joseph Jacobs.  This story is about a boy who did not listen to his mother. He was sometimes a good boy and sometimes a bad boy. He decided not to listen to his mother when she told him not to go in the street by himself or he might get caught by Mr.Miacca. Mr.Miacca is known for capturing kids. That is exactly what he did with him.  In my story I want SpongeBob to play the little boy. I want to  make the story a little more interesting. I actually want SpongeBob to put up a hard fight, unlike the little boy did. He managed to talk Mrs.Miacca into letting him go get some pudding for her from his mothers house. He had finally escaped. He continued to be good and not go around the corner. However, one day again he went around the corner and got caught again.  He ended up getting his leg chopped off and put in the pot.  I like this story but I feel like...

This story, Johnny-Cake  comes from the  English Fairy Tales  by Joseph Jacobs.  This story is about a little boy who was supposed to watch the Johnny-Cake bake in the oven. However, he did not do a good job of doing so. His mother and father asked him to watch it while they went outside and dug up potatoes. I think this story is humorous because the Johnny-Cake is not actually a cake. It is a character that is made out of dough. I want to make sure when I re-tell this story that I keep the humor in it. I am not sure what I might have run out of SpongeBobs house but I definitely want to keep this part of the story the same.  Later on in this story the little Johnny-Cake wan past well diggers and told them he outran an old man and woman and a little boy. He said he could out run them too.  I just thought about what I can replace the Johnny-Cake with. I want to replace him with a live Jelly-fish and have him make grape jam instead of cake. I ca...

I can recall it was a very late night. I stayed up late and polishing conch shells by the fireplace. I was trying to keep my mind busy and not think about the death of my pet snail Gary. Some nights I just can not rest. Then suddenly I heard a knock at the front door. The knock was so hard it scared me. A voice called out, "Open! Open!" "Who is there?" I asked. The voice said, "I am the Witch of one Horn" I was shocked! I never had a Witch come to my house! I threw the conch shell on the ground and I freaked out. I paused for a second a thought to myself maybe Patrick or SquidWard sent the Witch over. They are my neighbors. I went to open the door and the Witch barged in. She grabbed some of the conch shells and sat by the fire. I closed the door behind her and sat down on the couch. The Witch was weird because she did not speak once she took her seat. She sat in silence but she polished the conch shells aggressively. After 10 minutes went by she pau...

The story that I am reading for part B is  The Horned Woman  from the Celtic Fairy Tales. In this story there is a rich woman that stayed up late in the night preparing wool. When she was interrupted by a witch knocking at the door. The witch came inside of the house and began to card the wool. She asked where the other women was at. This story can be re-written as a story about spongebob being confronted by a witch. A witch under the sea would a be an interesting story. Later in the story there was a second witch that came to the door and this witch had two horns. And so on until there was 12 witches and the 12th one had 12 horns. They all took a seat around the fire. They carded thread as they were sining ancient toons. I think this part would be a cool time to have the witches sing the campfire song from one of the SpongeBob shows. The witches casted a spell over the mistress and in my story I could make Spongebob the mistress and the witches can cast a spell over h...

The story that I am reading is from the Canterbury tales unit. the story is called  The Franklin's Tale:The promise of Dorigen In this story there is a knight named Arviragus who was looking for love from a noble woman. He was scared to to her his intentions with her because she came from a family of high lineage. I am excited that I have ran across this story because I can finally tell you all a love story of SpongeBob. The noble lady noticed how favored he was and said she would take him as her husband and as her lord. I could see Spongebob and Sandy falling for each other in this way in my next story. As a kid I always wanted Spongebob and Sandy to have a secret love for each other. The knight all made a promise to her to that he would never force her obedience over her wishes or show jealousy. In this story the couple was happy for a couple years and then the knight left to seek glory for his arms. I want to change this part of the story to maybe throwing a conflict. Eve...

Plankton and SpongeBob Now you guys, I am not usually this upset in life. However, this secret story is wild. Plankton and I will never be friends again! He killed my one and only pet Gary! He has always been out for the Krabby Patty recipe but I never thought he would take it this far. I am ready for revenge! I called up my friends Sandy, Patrick, and Mr. Krab. I decided to start a ball game to begin my revenge against Plankton. We decided to host a ball game by Goo Lagoon Beach. I asked my friends to play against Plankton and his friends that went by the name the Sea Bears. The Sea Bears and my friends began to play ball and I watched the game from the top of coral tree far away. They ended the game in a tie and decided to come back the next day to continue the ball game. I was furious because I wanted my friends to destroy the Bears right then and there. Obviously they needed my help! I walked down and told my friends I want to become a coral tree right in the middle of th...
