Reading Notes B

Reading notes B:

My Lord Bag of Rice
Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki (1908).

This story is very interesting and easy to read.


The man finds a dragon that is transformed into a man

He says his enemy is killing his family and asks for the man's help to kill him.

The adventure continues as the man helps the dragon king.

If I were rewrite this story, I would base it out of a jungle, and include tigers and people of that specific culture.

    Very easy to read is right! I hope no one can summarize any of my stories in three short sentences! I think the brevity of this story and your ability to recognize it offer a great storytelling opportunity for you! You could add more details to the story, or even write a backstory to accompany it. Some of the best stories started out as little more than two sentence ideas written on a napkin, and they have been built into cultural mainstays from such humble beginnings.

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
