Reading Options

For my reading options, I think I would be most interested in doing a little bit of everything. I am especially interested in the comic books because it is a type of writing that I have not really explored personally.

I found several stories that piqued my interest, but here just a few:

Tapati: Daughter of the Sun God I love a good story about a strong female, and I assume being the daughter of a God means that Tapati will have a strong sense of will and storyline.

How the Jackal Ate the Elephant I also think that folktales are fascinating because often there are variations of the same stories throughout different cultures. This one sounds good and it reminds me of the saying "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

Leader: 50 Insights from Mythology This seems interesting to me because most stories passed down are passed down because of the life lessons you can learn from them and this book seems to outline those.

There are so many options to explore that I am not totally sure what I am going to end up reading, especially since there seems to be so many completely different, but equally interesting options.

(Arlo rocking a bun, personal photo) Hello! My name is Kennedie Milligan and I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a Communication major and a Women and Gender Studies minor. I am also pre-nursing. These three things may seem like a random grouping, but I have a lot of interests and am slightly indecisive, so this is what I have come up with.

I have 3 brothers, and from my older brother I have 3 nieces. My entire family is pretty much in Oklahoma and has been my entire life. There is not a lot I am sure of in life, but I am sure that I need out of this state. I am graduating (hopefully) in December and then I am (even more hopefully) going to nursing school. I want to go to a accelerated program for my BSN out of state because I am afraid if I don’t leave now then I will never get out. I just decided to do nursing last Au...

Week 13 Story: The Princes' Tree

Once upon a time, there was a legend of a great tree in the middle of the forest. Only those with a true heart could find it. The tree was the biggest and oldest tree in all the land. The tree was said to have magical powers, which controlled the weather. In this land, there was also a palace where 4 young princes lived. They had heard of the tree and wanted to find out for themselves what magic the tree held. When the oldest prince was 12, he was allowed to go on his journey to search for the tree. He left for a week and when he returned he told stories of the great tree but was afraid that it was dead because it had no leaves. The second to oldest prince knew this could not be true because the great tree had been alive forever so when he turned 12 the next year, he too was permitted to go find the tree. It took him almost a week to find it as well, but he returned with stories of its greatness and beauty. The tree he saw had blooming flowers all over it. Now the younger two prince...
