Reading Notes, The Elephant Girly-Face

 Bibliography: Ellen C Babbitt, The Elephant Girly-Face
-This King had a elephant names Girly-face. Named this because he was so good. kind, and gentle. "Girly-face never hurts anybody."
-"This is the way to break into a house," they said. "Once inside the house kill any one who wakens. A robber must not be afraid to kill. A robber must be cruel and have no pity. He must never be good, even for a moment."
- This got Girly-face on edge and decided to act as these robbers do. Keeper by keeper came to feed and Girly-face killed 2 of them. Picked him up with his trunk and killed him. 
-The King heard of the elephant acting like this and sent one of his men to check on him but could find nothing wrong with him. 
-The wise man asked one of the other keepers if he has been around people who talked bad and the keeper said "a band of robbers were caught here a few weeks ago."
-The wise men suggested that the King sends nice people so Girly can hear good talking and turn back to how he used to be. 
-The King sent good people to talk by Girly so he can hear them talk. They said "It is wrong to hurt any one. It is wrong to kill. Every one should be gentle and good."
-"Now those men are teaching me," thought Girly-face. "I must be gentle and good. I must hurt no one. I must not kill any one." And from that time on Girly-face was tame and as good as ever an Elephant could be.

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,
