Week 8 Reading and Writing

I think that reading and writing assignments are super helpful in creating stories for my project. It also helps as I can see different styles of writing throughout all of the stories that I read. I’m pretty satisfied with how my blog and project is going so far. The reading notes for each week are also pretty helpful when writing my stories for each week as it gives me the background information on the stories that I read. My favorite reading so far is “Twenty-two Goblins” by Arthur W. Ryder (1917) as I thought that the concept of all the stories were pretty cool. It really makes you think about the answer to all the riddles in each of the stories.

The reason I chose this image is because it from “Twenty-Two Goblins” because as I mentioned before, I liked the stories from this section the most overall. In the future, I hope to just read more unique style of stories and hope to incorporate some of those styles in my future writings.

As for my hobbies, I only really have one hobby which is playing basketball but in recent times, it has been kind of difficult to keep that hobby going. Therefore, I really want to find a new hobby to replace basketball at least for the time being. I think that learning how to play an i...

Week 3 Story: Cat Fables

The Cats and the Dog      There once was a group of cats who were abandoned by all and living on the streets. They wandered the streets together scrounging for food and usually came up with loads of food. One day, all the cats split up to look for food. They looked around at houses, in the trash, everywhere you could think of. The cats all got together at the river and all of them came up empty. The cats looked at each other dejected and began to sulk until one cat noticed a lone dog looking for food by the river. The cats asked the dog, “Have you had any luck finding food?” The dog replied, “No, I haven’t found any food for the past three days.” The dog then ran off in a hurry as he desperately need to fill his stomach. In their heads, none of the cats could even think of the last time that they had gone three days without food. They all looked at each other and realized that they were quite lucky and that someone always has it worse than you. ("cat" by grey vi...
