Week 8: Reading and Writing

For my revisions this week I decided to go back and look back at all my previous reading and writing assignments and I feel like they have significantly improved my storywriting ability mainly because the plot behind the stories I read help give me an idea of how I would want my stories to flow and how I would be able to either edit the endings or certain parts of the story or just make up my own story with my own characters. I would say that I like the direction that my blog/portfolio is going in so far because this is allowing me to showcase my storytelling abilities to the class and also allow me to show my creative side and let my imagination run wild. My favorite reading out of the units we covered in class definitely has to be the Africa-Asia unit because I feel like those stories instantly draw the reader into the story. One of my favorite stories was The Cock who Caused a fight between Two Cities because I found it very amusing especially with the twist at the end. Another favorite story of mine was The Cock's Daughter and I also found that story funny and reflects on the topic of jealous love triangles but this was unique because the King had 250 wives. That story is the reason why I chose this image of corn because the king's wife was obsessed with corn in the story.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

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...
