Week 8 Reading & Writing

Scylla and Charybdis, Source EuroScientis

This is one of my favorite pictures so far. It is from a scene in Homer's Odyssey. I liked the way Scylla and Charybdis were drawn in this image. 
Looking back at my reading and writing, I wish I had more time to complete the writing and stick to my schedule. I enjoy the reading, but I have not completed some of the writings. It's sometimes really hard for me to write up a story because I find a little difficult to get them started. If I don't have a good idea for the story, I end up procrastinating until there is no time to finish it. Looking through the storytelling ideas article has really help me.

I am really happy with my blog and the project website. I don't see me changing many things in the future for them. I'm satisfied with the writing for the project, and I really liked the stories that I have there.

My favorite reading so far has been Ovid's Metamorphoses. I think one of the biggest accomplishments for me is just creative writing. I've never done creative writing before, so it is a bit challenging and different from the kinds of writing I'm used to.

My goals for the coming weeks is to catch up with my progress in the class. The extra credit assignments will help a lot. Stick to my schedule, and try to get a little bit ahead.

Hello! My name is Kevin Monreal, I am currently a senior at OU, finally.

Last semester was a great semester for me, my two favorite classes were data mining and website design; I know they sound really boring for some people but I found them interesting, and I learned a lot. Last semester, apart from passing all my classes, a significant accomplishment was getting a 4.0 for the semester, finally bringing my GPA out of life support. I have lots of hobbies. I like to read, the most recent books that I read were "Beyond Good and Evil" by Friedrich Nietzsche, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Cohelo, and "Norse Mythology" by Neil ...

Week 2 Story: The Hare in the Moon

Source: Rabbit in the Moon . The Hare in the Moon And it came to pass the Buddha was born a Hare and lived in the woods. With him lived many friends, and he taught those friends–animals and humans alike–many wise things: that the moral law should be observed–that alms should be given to the poor–and that holy days should be kept. One day the Buddha said: "Tomorrow is a fast day. Feed any beggars that come to you by giving from your own store of food." They all consented. An old friend and Cheesemaker came to Buddha. "I have nothing to give, oh wise Hare. For I have nothing to myself. My goats and cattle ran out of good grass in my fenced fields, and I cannot let them out because a Tiger has been taking them. My animals are starving, and I cannot make any cheese."  The Hare, thinking in contemplation on the Kusha Grass said "bring them here. I shall feed them my own grass and protect them." To which the Cheesemaker replied, "oh great Har...
