Week 8 Reading and Writing

 

Looking Back

    I think the reading notes are really helpful for writing stories, as I tend to have vague impressions when I don't actively read and take notes. So far, I am still pretty content with the layout of my blog and website, but this might change as the semester goes on. For my reading notes, I have found a way to look out for the main points of the stories instead of getting caught up in little details. I think having the goal of 'reading like a writer' really helps when taking notes because I think of what the main components of the story are. So far, I really enjoyed the stories from the  Twenty-Two Goblins and the premise of the king having to solve riddles that show how intelligent he is, but also cause him to work harder.

Looking Forward
    So far, I am pretty pleased with my progress so far, but I do want to put more time into researching for my Storybook. The first story is coming up soon and I hope I will be able to produce a decent story!

Introduction to Me, A Socially Anxious Future Doctor

      Hello everyone! My name is Lanney, and I am a Senior here at OU, double majoring in Biology and Letters, along with following a pre-med track. When I first started here at OU, I was only a declared Biology/Pre-Med major, but last year, I had a Latin professor who talked to me about the possibility of also majoring in Letters. Ultimately, I think I decided to earn a degree in Letters because of my professor and also the content within the major, which is a little bit of everything, from philosophy to literature. Hopefully, I will attend OU medical school once I finish my undergraduate career, looking to become a pediatrician, possibly specializing in oncology. My career choice seems quite specific to a lot of people, and that is because it is. Many individuals who go into medical school have yet to decide on the specialty they wish to pursue, preferring to experience clinicals first, to get an idea of which they really enjoy. The primary reason why I plan to go into pediatric onco

      The Salamander and the Reed           Once, a young little salamander was taking a meander around the pond it lived at. The salamander's mom had warned the little one to be careful on their journey, and be on the lookout for any predators. The walk was hardly enjoyable, with the salamander swinging their head continuously to keep an eye out for danger. There! The young salamander saw something moving amongst the grass and dived into a nearby puddle, a predator surely on their tail. The salamander spent the whole day in hiding, while the rest of the salamanders watched a reed sway peacefully in the breeze. Enjoy a puppy! (Because apparently, my blog won't let me upload my pic of a baby salamander) The Salamander and the Reed (condensed)     Their mother had warned and so the salamander was on their toes. Though perhaps a bit too on their toes, hiding in fear from a reed subject to the breeze. Author's Note:     I got my inspiration from the story The Serpent and the F
