Myth and Folklore

I have seen Robin Hood movies before, but I have never read the actual story. I am aware that he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I chose to read these stories because I want to see exactly what he does rather than a generalized idea of it. Robin Hood The Ranger was a great story. I like how the stories rhyme. It adds an extra special element to the story that others don't have. There is a little dispute going on between Robin and the ranger. There seems to be a power struggle between the two men. They take out their weapons and begin to fight. Robin Hood has some trouble, but never gives up. I think that I could take this same concept and make it more modern. Maybe I could have two kids in school that oppose one another and instead of having weapons they could be playing 4 square. I really enjoyed this story. Like I mentioned, this is the first Robin Hood story that I read in more detail and I liked it a lot. I also liked reading Rescuing Three Squires. I think t

Dogs I saw the title of this part of Aesop's Fables and knew that I wanted to look more into it! I think stories that are written about dogs can peak anyone's interests. Dogs are such great animals. I would love to write another story about them. Although these stories are short, I like how descriptive they are. They truly tell a story in a short period of time. I think that I could attempt to choose a subject and then write my own fables about them. It would be difficult to make them rhyme and make it a good story, but it would be much different than anything that I have done for this class! dogs  from the story Cats and Weasels I also really like cats. I think that cats are so special and having them involved with stories makes it much more enjoyable. Being cautious of a double tongue is something that a lot of people could learn. I feel as if sometimes people think another person is going to do one thing because of what they say, but they do the exact opposite. It is

I really wanted to read some of Aesop's Fables at some point, so I'm glad that I am able to do that this week! I really like how the story is a rhyme. I think that it makes it different from all of the other stories that I have read this semester. I decided to choose some fables that I really enjoyed reading and take notes on them. People I am familiar with some of those fables. The boy who cried wolf is a story that has an important lesson about lying. I could see myself taking this story line and idea and creating a more modern day story about it. This would be fun because it is creative and is a story line that many people are familiar with. It seems as if all of these stories serve a greater purpose and have a moral to the story. I could see myself taking any of these stories and creating a new story based on the moral. Boy Who Cried Wolf The Fox and The Stork From the little description, I thought that this would be a fun story to read. Foxes are notorious for bei

This week I decided to look at my notifications on Canvas. I decided to change up the notifications that I get on my phone. I receive a lot of notifications, specifically for discussions, which kind of annoy me. I decided to change them up. I like that Canvas offers so many different styles of notification set ups.

The Dog-Husband The beginning of this story seems like any other story between a girl and her dog, that is until he turns into a man during the night and sleeps next to her. I am just imagining this in real life. I wonder why the dog turns into the human? Was he cursed to live his life as a dog when it is daylight? Okay she just got pregnant from the dog man. This is strange. Her parents were not happy with this and essentially left her for dead. The girl gave birth to dog pups. The dog man is dead because the father of the girl killed him. It is sad that not only did the parents leave the girl for dead, but they killed her love. Turns out the dog pups can also turn into humans. I am very curious as to how the dogs turn into humans and why they do. Is there something that must happen before they can transform? Maybe I could write a story on this and it could explain how this happens to a lot of people/dogs. This story has many twists and it ends up that the boys become the chiefs of t

First I started at Native Americans in the United States . I have learned a lot about Native Americans through some classes at OU. I never knew that there were over 500 federally recognized within the US. There are so many that I never knew about. The next page I went to is Native American Disease and Epidemics . The treatment that the Native Americans received is so appalling and sad to think about. They did not deserve the diseases that they received. The number of disease that Europeans brought over is extensive. I never knew that some tribes lost 25-50% of their population due to disease. Next I went to Biological Warfare . I think that this concept is incredibly interesting but sad that it is used. There are many ways that biological warfare can be achieved. I never knew that biological agents in armed conflict is a war crime. Finally I ended up at Black Death . It was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history. I never knew that 75 to 200 million people died fro
