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!

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 ...

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 ...
