Reading Notes: Apache Part B

For the B side of this unit, I decided to focus on a couple of stories that I think could make an interesting story for this week. Part B, in my opinion, had just amount of nuggets I needed to make the perfect story so it was kind of hard deciding what to write about. One thing I noticed is that this part deals with the animal Coyote in each story except a few.

Coyote and the Mexicans

  • I found this story to be confusing in a sense but hilarious because the character of Coyote gets himself into some misadventures and then eventually gets caught by Mexicans I assume.
  • The story begins with a mischevious character name Coyote who is caught lying and gets kidnapped by a group of people and then taken to California.
  • A judge then thinks he is staying the night with a woman and ends up being bitten by Coyote and then Coyote then Coyote runs away with the bag of money. 
  • That and the part where the Mexicans catch Coyote, whom at this point is drunk, is what is my favorite part about the story. The comedy aspect of the story is what instantly drew me into the story.
  • Currently, I am stuck between this story and the first story I read in part A because they both have the elements I am looking for.
  • The characters in this story are a plus. If I were to do a story I would potentially add onto the ending and try to make it seem like there will be a duel between the Judge and Coyote.

Coyote Kills the Prairie Dogs:
  • This story is a lot less colorful than the story above. In this story, Coyote is cooking a bunch of Prairie Dogs in a big pot somewhere in the woods.
  • He cooks the prairie dogs and goes to sleep. While asleep, a wildcat came through and took the biggest prairie dogs he could find in the pot and leaves the smallest dog in the pot.
  • The characters in the story seem so simplistic. There is only one character (Coyote) and a minor character (Wildcat)
  • I could make this into a story with the option to carry on the main story but ill consider it.

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...
