Reading Notes (Aesop's Fables Part 2)

I loved reading about the Dogs in today's fables. I love that each set of stories is characterized, often by the principal character. One of my favorite animals are dogs so I'm think that I might use that to write my story tomorrow rather than just doing a collection. I can have separate stories but use the same principal character or set of characters. That way I am still staying true to the original idea of Aesop's Fables while still adding my own twists to the story. Here are some of my nights from today:

1. Once again, it seems to be following the same three stanza form.
2. This Time, each section is about a similar character just with a shift in focus. "The Hungry Dogs", "The Dogs In The River", etc...
3. Towards the end of this section some of the stories start to get longer. They still are quite short compared to other stories we've read throughout the semester but they now stretch to about 5 stanzas rather than just three or four.

    Hello, Lauryn!

    I usually don't read people's notes over readings, rather skipping to the actual story they produce, but I wanted to read some about dog mythology! Do you have any of your own? I love dogs, too, though right now I am in the painful phase of raising a 2 month old puppy, which is extraordinarily difficult (though they are so sweet and cute). Anyway, I like your writing style and have read a few of your stories--keep up the great work!

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 ...
