Week 8 Reading and Writing

Image from my Jewish Fairy Tale Reading Notes Part B post. I mainly chose it because it looks funny to me and has a lot going on in it. Image

I'm really having a fun time in this class, and I'm pretty satisfied with all of the stories that I've created. I think that I'm learning a lot about different cultures and stories that I never knew about, and the reading notes and stories are very effective at making these stories memorable. It's also fun to have the freedom to be able to make whatever kind of story that I want. Looking back on my stories, I'm obviously drawn to the more comedic and ridiculous aspects of the source material that I draw from, and I enjoy that I'm able to highlight that in my assignments.

I don't think there is necessarily anything extra I need to do going forward to to get more out of this class, as I feel like I'm currently getting plenty of knowledge and enjoyment out of it. This class has served as an effective avenue for me to improve my creative writing skills, which is something that many of my classes in college so far have not allowed me to do. I'm excited to see the new storytelling strategies that I am able to discover and implement as we move past the halfway point of the class.

Introduction to Brett the Graphic Designer

Hey! My name is Brett Drake and I'm a senior Public Relations major with a Classical Culture minor. I'm from the small town of Wagoner, Oklahoma (if you've heard of it, chances are you're also from northeast OK!) and while I've enjoyed my time here at OU, I can't wait to graduate in May. I want to become a graphic designer in the OKC area after graduation and help local businesses build their brands. My favorite class last semester was Digital Design (surprise, surprise) as it allowed me to really hone my skills as a designer across all different types of media. Me at the Coliseum : Photo by a friend Last summer, as I talked about in my favorite place post , I was able to study abroad in Italy for the month of June, allowing me to finally travel outside of the country for the first time in my life. While traveling abroad had its ups and downs (I arrived in Rome running on a good 3 hours of sleep and had lost my luggage), overall it was an amazing experie

Week 3 Story: Perseus, A DM's Worst Nightmare

Perseus and Andromeda, by Frederic Leighton Dan had been the Dungeon Master for his friends' Dungeons and Dragons group for a while now, and he always looked forward to their sessions on Wednesday nights. Everyone had a good time, and they had created stories that would last a lifetime, one of which was the unfortunate story of Percy. Percy was an acquaintance who was also an avid D&D player. When his group disbanded for unknown reasons, Percy asked Dan if he could join his group. Dan allowed it, welcoming Percy to the group. Percy was insistent that he should be able to keep the same character that he had played in his former campaign. Dan, not knowing what he was agreeing to, let him keep his character. When Wednesday came and everyone sat down to play, Dan began to realize his mistake. "Alright everyone," Dan began. "When we last left off, you all had made your way to the fields of the giant monster known as Atlas. A mountain looms in the dista
