Reading Notes, The Trickster


For my own story, I will be basing it off of the Trickster tale.

In this story, the tiger tricks the man into letting him go, but promises he won't harm him after he is free.
Once the man lets him go, the tiger takes back his word and says he will eat the man for being so foolish.
The man seeks advise from several different characters with no luck, until he meets the jackal.
The jackal pretends as if he doesn't understand the story that the man is telling him, so he returns to the scene to get a better understanding.
The jackal then plays dumb to the tiger as well, asking how he even got into the cage to begin with.
The tiger shows him, and the jackal locks him in the cage again.

The jackal's smart thinking saved the man, and gave the tiger what he deserved.

This story is easy to follow, and a fun, witty read.

storytelling, week 11 - the creation of the mermaid

The whale was proud and very content with his creation, but one day he decided there should be another creation, none like he has ever made before. It shall be called a mermaid, because of its man like-features. The whale gathered the animals that lived in his ocean, and held a meeting that would decide what the new creation should consist of. Each animal had its own thoughts of what the new life should be. The clown fish thought the mermaid should be orange and white, just like him. The shark thought it should have razor sharp teeth, so it could hunt better than any other fish. The tuna thought the mermaid should be agile and very large, to cut and dive thr

Introduction to a social media marketer- Week 1

Hello, my name is Gracie Jonas. I am a senior Public Relations major with a minor in Enterprise Studies. I plan to graduate this May. Although I am a senior, this is only my second year at OU. I began my college experience at Rose State College in Oklahoma City as a student athlete. I was fortunate enough to receive a full ride scholarship to play soccer. Being a student athlete taught me a lot about responsibility and determination. Trying to balance school life, social life, and soccer is something that took a while to adjust to, but at the end of it I couldn't be more proud of what I accomplished. Currently, I am employed as a social media marketer for StellaNova Coffee. If you haven't been there yet, you should try it. Great coffee and great people! (I'm not just saying that because I work there either.) Anyway, this experience has also been challenging, because I am adjusting from being a young student, to a professional in the workplace. I am challenged everyday t
