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 my e

Week 11 Story (Grandmother River's Trick)

The scurry of frightened fish often overpowered the otherwise serene waters of the river. It was a common scene. Just as the sun began to set and the first glimpses of nightfall arrived, you would hear the first painful cry of a mother fish mourning her new little babies. The predators often struck at night. It was easier for them to sneak around, without fear of being eaten themselves. Every living species in the river understood that being prey was a risk, but the recent uprise in baby fish death was due to the predators gluttony and greed. The mother and father fish were terrified. Every night when they went to bed, they would tuck in their baby fish and pray that they would awaken with them the next morning. Recently, more often than not, frightened parents wold awake in the middle of the night to the loud chomps and chews of the predator munching on their children. Each day the parents would grow angrier and angrier, but due to their size and position in the natural food chain,
