Week 8 Reading and Writing


 Overall, I feel as if I am doing really well with this class in general throughout the first half of the semester. I think my biggest problem is procrastination. This has always been a problem of mine, but since I am in 18 hours now it has become so much worse since I am focusing so much more on my upper division classes. 

My reading and writing assignments are going well. One thing that I think I need to work on are my stories and the way I retell them. I sometimes get loss and trying to tell the story in 2 different perspectives instead of taking one. (i.e. 1st or 3rd person, past or present tense). I am extremely happy with my blog and my project website. 

My favorite reading assignments have been the anthology stories. I choose these because I use most of those to write my stories since my portfolio is all about adventures and things to do with animals. I usually won't write stories about the readings that are assigned because of this reason. I like to go back and find new stories I can read about and then write about those.

This was my favorite image I used in one of my blog posts. It was the story about the king, his men, and his boys. On the left, it shows all the boys and men wanting to kill the turtle, but the king demands them to just go back and through it into the lake.

Looking forward, the main thing I want to stop doing to make me more successful in this class is to stop procrastinating. Knowing me, I still will do that but it is something I really need to work on. Also, like I stated above, working on telling my stories from one view and sticking to the right verbs that sound grammatically correct.

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M

The Talking Turtle and The Kings Boys Week 4 Story

Image
 Once upon a time, there was a king who had a lake for his boys to play in. He told the boys that he had gotten fishes in there for them to see and mess around with. While the boys we're at the lake, they saw something very suspicious and out of the ordinary. The suspicious animal was a Turtle, but they had never seen one before. The boys run back to the King and the men inside and yell that there is something in the water, they referred it to as a demon and that the demon was out to get them. The King forced men to go out to the lake to catch this, out of ordinary, species. When the men brought the Turtle back, the King wanted these men to kill it because only fish were supposed to be in the water. As they went around the room and talked about killing the animal, the Turtle pokes it's head out and says, "what have I done to you humans for you guys to want to do something to hurt me and hurt my life? The lake is my safe spot and I would never do anything to hurt you guys,
