Reading Notes Part A: Johnny-Cake

-
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 can name him Johnny-Jam. 

In the story the two well-diggers started running after him too. However, he outran them as well and the story goes on in that way with different characters. Until he came to a fox. The fox tricked him to coming closer and then he snatched him up with his teeth. 

I do like the ending of this story so I am going to keep it mostly the same. I amy change the way the fox draws him in closer.

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...
