Reading Notes: Twenty-Two Goblins, Part B

So far, this story seems like a straight continuation of Part A. The first story has the same premise. The King is carrying the goblin and the goblin tells a riddle. The King continues to know the answer so the goblin keeps going back to the tree. It is honestly getting a little old. These are fun stories to read, but it is definitely not my favorite.

The King trying to figure out the riddle

I decided to look more in depth into the story/riddle labeled The General's Wife. This way I can analyze a story more and use an idea from it to make my own story. I also want to see if I will be able to solve the riddle. Hopefully I will! The Brahmans are sneaky. I think that something will happen to them at the end for lying to the King. This seems like a cute love story. I like the phrases that they used. The King's whole body being shaken with love is a sweet image to picture. It is interesting to see the Force would just give up his wife like that. It is as if he assumes she is just a trading piece. I know women a long time ago were treated this way but I do not like this part of the story. I would not include that in my story. It was an interesting question at the end. I think that the answer could have been either men if the right case was made. 

Wow this goblin is vicious. Cutting off the monks head is a big power move. I am unsure if I should believe the goblin or not. I guess the monk was a bad guy. I had a feeling while reading part A. Maybe the goblin made up the rules and continued to leave the King because he did not want the monk to kill the King. He was protecting the King possibly. Overall, this was a very interesting story.

Introduction to an Animal Lover

Hi! My name is Hannah Rutherford and I am a senior here at OU. I am from The Woodlands, TX – which is just North of Houston. I absolutely love OU and couldn’t imagine being at any other university. Here at OU, I am a Human Relations major. I used to be pre-nursing but I quickly realized that nursing wasn’t for me and I was able to switch! Lucky for me, I am graduating in December! I am really looking forward to it, but I am also a little scared as well. My greatest accomplishment from last semester is that I got a 4.0. Hopefully I will be able to do this again in my last semester. Once I graduate with an HR degree, I hope to get my masters and become a Licensed Professional Counselor. I would like to work with kids in some way and I would love to incorporate therapy animals into my work. I am a firm believer that animals make everything better!  Speaking of animals, I am an extreme animal lover. I have two dogs and two cats at home. My two dogs are Shih Tzus and they are named Sha

When Wheel of Fortune came on, Tyler knew that it was his opportunity to play with his sister's toys. Sarah, Tyler's sister, loved to watch the game show every night. Tyler knew that this was his opportunity to steal Sarah's toys.  Wheel of Fortune Board As he approached the game room, the house cat named Mittens appeared. Tyler quietly asked Mittens if he could play with Sarah's toys, expecting no response. To Tyler's surprise, Mittens replied.  "If you want to play with Sarah's toys then go ahead. It is your life, but just remember the story of Justin and the car." "What is that story?", Tyler instantly uttered. Mittens began to tell the story. "Many years ago, there was a 13-year old boy named Justin that created havoc. Overall, he was a nice boy, but he had one major issue. He was an avid thief. Justin had a mindset that if it wasn't being used, then he could take advantage and use whatever he wanted fo
