Extra Credit: Video Post. Mythical Caves and Gardens.

Mike Rugnetta talked about the many different settings that mythical stories have. I found this video interesting because I found that he was saying to be true now that I have explored tons of many different stories in the Mythical Folklore world. He talks about how many mythical stories share the same settings. There are a few important places that myths happened like caves waters gardens, forests and temples. For an example there was a story that I re-write that was based off of a story that was mostly involved in water. It was called the Great Flood and the story was about Manabush and his brother.

Mike Rugnetta also talked about the origin of the meaning of caves and gardens and refers back to the beginning of humanity when Adam and Eve was created. They happened to be in the Garden of Eden. Which was looked at a physical and metaphorical place. It is described to be a lush and growing place. Because of human disobedience they were casted out of the perfect paradise but the garden is also a symbol of chaos.

I think it is cool that many of these stories embody these settings and the different places haver so many symbols behind them. It makes reading them so much more fun and meaningful.

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
