Reading Notes (Nursery Rhymes Part 2)

The second half of this lesson is much shorter than the first and includes one of my favorite sections: Jingles. The Jingles section includes passages that tend to be very repetitive (which is normal considering these were once songs). Additionally, the stories in this section differ in that each different story does not follow a specific format, as some paragraphs may have two lines while the next has 10 or more.  Here are a few more things I noticed:

1. Each individual story is a lot shorter than the stories in the first lesson.
2. There are a few familiar stories and faces, such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
3. The last jingle is only five lines long. The story I create probably won't be able to be a jingle because of the need fro longevity.

    Hey there,

    I am just checking in on the blog stream and looking at other's reading notes. I really liked how you combined an analysis and bullet points. It looks both clean and concise and you even get to put a little of your own commentary in on it. I think you are doing a great job and hope you have a great rest of the semester. Looking forward to see if you are going to make this into a story!

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,
