In the feedback gallery,  there  is a section that has comments talking about ways to expand the story. I think this is an important tool because this easy you can contribute to expanding the authors way of thinking. Sometimes as authors we already have a background in the topic and we are not as detailed as we should be in our stories. We sometimes with out knowing it we don't  go into as much detail as we should. Something that I did not do in Epics of India class is point out the things that confused me in the stories. I would stop reading it and click a different one if it was confusing. This semester I think I need to stick to the story and ask the author about what was they meant in the story. I would hope someone would mention anything confusing about my stories because their feed back could help me improve as a story teller. I enjoyed reading the article about negative feedback. Specifically the section about a fixed mindset. I think in life we tend to have a ...

For my Story book research I am thinking about doing a Spongebob theme with a mermaid twist. There are an assortment of Mermaid stories. In the Mythical-Folklore UN-Textbook, I am going to use Dan Ashliman's site. The  Mermaid Wife  specifically. I am thinking to make a storyline about the relationship between spongebob and the mermaid in a diary setting. My second choice is to do Alice in Wonderland stories but so Spongebob in wonderland and instead of having the setting in the sea. I would take Spongebob and put him in the  Wonderland . I would probably keep the diary theme as well. Alice in Wonderland My third choice is to do the ghost of spongebob and do a storybook over  University of Oklahoma ghost stories ! I can personalize it because campus is my second home. I would do a Ghost diary.  Spongebob Ghost

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...

My reading notes for part be will come from  Biblical Stories plus Apocrypha  specifically the Noahs Ark Unit.  :  The Legends of the Jews  by Louis Ginzberg (1909): Book 1, Chapter 4 Noah [ LIBRIVOX AUDIO ].  This story is taking place after the flood has happened. The story starts of my saying the earth took its old form at the end of the year of punishment. Noah was scared to leave the ark because he though God was going to flood the earth again. He did not abandon the ark until God promised he would not do so. This kinda reminds me of when I was a little kid and I would make my mom promise me something before I would do a certain task. I may create a story based off of my childhood experience. Noah wept when he stepped off the boat because of how terribly everything was destroyed. He said to God  that he should have had more mercy on the creatures. God had Noah pick two of every creature to save. I think it wold be cool to have the animals in ...

I chose to pick a reading from the   Gospel of Mark  Unit from the King James Bible (1611). I enjoyed a few readings in Unit A like, The Miracles of Jesus and Jesus the Healer. The Gospel of Mark is familiar to me because I was raised in a christian home.    Gospel Book of Otto III The setting of t his story is in the Gadarenes. It is explained to be a sea close. A man with a unclean spirit and couldn't be tame him. He would cut himself with stones. I think I want to give the man a name, maybe angel. I know that may seem weird to name a disturbed man angel. However, I think in my story I can maybe change his outcome to something as great as an angel.  Angel asked God what must he do not to be tormented and God demanded the unclean spirit must come out of the man . God possessed the pigs with the demon spirits and the pigs ran down the hill and drowned in the lake. People could not believe the demoted possessed man was pure. What is weird is...
