Story 1: Adam and Eve (Bible Stories)

A popular biblical story, the story of famous bible couple, Adam and Eve paints a picture of the beginning and subsequent fall of human purity and perfection. The story is one that most individuals know of regardless of their own religion. I think this story would be quite interesting to tell and even retell with slightly different facts. Furthermore, I look froward to clearing up some commonly incorrect ideas pertaining to the story.

Story 2: Danielle "Dani" Lierow (Feral Children)

Stories of feral children, or children raised by animals or in complete isolation, date back for centuries and centuries. This modern day tale of 6 years old Dani, who was severely abused and neglected for the first six years of her life. The neglect left her seemingly with the mind of a much younger child and she was incapable of accomplishing simple tasks perceived easy for other children her age. I think it would be interesting to bridge the gap between the old era of feral children and the new era. We can look for similarities and differences and show how their progress varied based upon modern and old technology and innovations.

Story 3: Romolus and Remus (Feral Children)

This feral children story is a more dated and historical story. Unlike Dani's upbringing, the children in this story, Romolus and Remus, were rescued and brought up by a female wolf rather than an absentee, abusive human parent. Although, the stories seem incredibly separate, I hope to be able to examine some of the after affects of both sets of children.

Introduction to an Actress...

I thought it was about time that I got around to properly introducing myself. My name is Lauryn but most of my friends and family only refer to me as Laur. I am 21 years old and a junior in college (woohoo!). My hobbies include working out, playing with my puppy, singing, playing the piano and guitar, and playing soccer. For me, where I am is a huge testament to how far I’ve come. Life hasn’t always been so easy and I have not always known whether I would make it this far. I was a very healthy child. An extremely athletic competitive soccer player who was on the brink of breaking into the Olympic scene. No really…It was 2012 and I had just received my second invite to join the Junior Olympics Women’s Soccer League where I would have to move across the globe to Australia with my trainers and coach and begin a life away from everything I’d ever known. The first time I had politely declined, much to the chagrin of my parents and coaches. But now,  I was 14 years old and already had ...

Week 14 Story Lab

This week for my story lab I decided to do some additional research for my last Storybook entry. My story is a take on The Jungle Book and focuses primarily on Mowgli's point of view as he navigates the ins and outs of life in the jungle. I decided to base my story on the first Chapter of the Jungle Book, Mowgli's Brothers. I briefly read the story before writing my piece but decided to go back and do some additional more in-depth research of the story before making my corrections and adding additional details. Here are some of the things I was able to find: 1. The story starts the evening prior to the morning in my story. I can either stick with this idea or keep it the way I have it. If I wanted to elongate the story, I could always start it the evening before as well. 2. There are ALOT of details and ALOT of imagery used in the first sentence alone. Maybe I can try and add more details to grab the attention of the reader. 3. Just like my story, there are brief instances ...
