Mythology and Folklore KT

I really enjoyed the readings for this week.  They were different from most of the fairy tales that I had grown up with.  I did have time to do both portions of the reading; however, I forgot to log the second portion, so I just did the quiz for the extra reading instead so I could get the extra points for it.  I believe I did my best writing for this week in this class.  I really liked my story this week; I killed off the character unexpectedly, which isn’t very nice, but is far more entertaining than having a predictable ending to the story.  I really enjoyed reading a storybook this week about different constellations telling their stories about how they became constellations. The writing was incredible; I wish that it was a book honestly, I think my youngest sister would live reading it.  I had a final in one of my classes this week on Wednesday, which was not fun.  That day was also my birthday.  Taking a final on your birthday i...

I really enjoyed the reading for this week.  I got to go over some of my favorite fairy tales.  I had enough time to do both portions of the reading.  I remember many of the characters from the readings this week having a curse put on them. This seems to be a common theme with a lot of stories in mythology.  I will see if there are any this coming week.  I believe that I did my best writing this week in this class, because I got to be more creative than I normally am in my HR class.  In this class I got to write a story about a Queen who underwent a curse to protect her people.  It was a lot of fun, honestly.  I have never read a story like that before.  I really enjoyed reading the stories this week. It is always fun to see how creative people can get for this class.  To me, a story is successful if it has a good story arch.  One needs to develop a relationship with the character, no matter how short the story is.  I read ...

I really enjoyed my reading for week 13.  Nursery Rhymes are my favorite, and being able to write a story that included them was a lot of fun.  Being able to incorporate Alice Through the Looking Glass was a thrill as well; it was one of my favorite stories when I was little.    My other classes are going decently well.   I am in mainly engineering classes, so I have not been able to connect what I learn in this class to other classes, but I do enjoy discussing things that I learn in this class with my friends and family.   I read some really great stories this week.  One was really creative, in a sense that it portrayed Greek mythology in a college campus setting.  The names were super creative, and I want to come up with a story like that.  I also am thinking about a story that I read a few weeks ago that was written like a play.  That was super interesting to read.  One is able to communicate with an audience in stead of a r...
