Famous Last Words: Storybook/Portfolio Revisions




This week has been a busy week because of my travel back home and magnitude of assignments. I finished one of my classes this week and I feel like a load has been lifted off of my shoulders so at least I can direct my attention towards this class and my other classes. This week was a review week so I did not do that much writing but I feel like reviewing my stories made me look at how far we have come in the semester when writing stories and our storybooks/portfolios. For next week I want to focus on finding stories that inspire me to write my own story of the week. I am not sure what unit we will be covering next but I am hoping it is filled with witty content and interesting plots within a story. I think that I want to focus on making characters that better fit my stories as well because I feel like I am not making the characters in my story mesh well with each other and also make it seem like they don't serve any purpose in my story. I will take a different approach going into next week. Overall, I am looking forward to seeing how my portfolio turns out because I have just added my second story to the portfolio and so once I receive the feedback on that assignment I will try to change around a few things since I feel like I didn't cover the story well. I like the plot I covered because that was definitely a story I've never read in my life. It was very unique and made me think about how powerful imagery is in a story. As far as my remaining classes, I feel like I will mostly be focusing on Statistics because it is currently my hardest class.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

Hi, My name is Charlton Nwaefulu and I am a senior here at the University of Oklahoma and will be graduating in December. I am from Mansfield, TX and i transferred to this school in the Fall of 2015. I am an Economics major/MIS minor and a cool thing about my major is that it is versatile so i could literally work in a lot of fields without having to attain a specific degree. I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
