Reading Options

After reading through the overview of the un-Textbook, I am really excited to see what all stories I will get to read! On the side bar the first things that grabbed my attention were Homer's Iliad and Homer's Odyssey. These are some stories that I am familiar with, and have enjoyed learning about and researching in the past. My mom is super into Greek mythology, so I guess I'm biased, but I think the Greeks were so creative and thoughtful in their storytelling. Plus it is so expansive, its almost like they thought of a story to explain everything. I can't decide if this is something I will want to choose as my readings for next week since I have already read a lot about them, but definitely cool to see them making an appearance. The next thing I did was try to pick something really random and that I had never heard of from the side bar, so I chose Tales of a Parrot. Apparently, this is a Persian story where the storyteller is a parrot! It sounds like a really dramatic love tale, so I think this is something I will definitely chose to read.

I love my family and I love that Tulsa isn't too far of a drive from them. And they can make the trip up to see me too. I have a younger brother, Adam, who just moved into his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, and I am so excited to see where his life takes him in the next couple of years. Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Week 3 Story: The Parable of the Pups

There once was a family of purebred French bulldogs. They were very well off but they had never been challenged, and the mother and father began to worry that her pups were going to turn out spoiled and rude. The father was always out hunting for food for the family, so usually the mother was with their three pups. It had been a long time since the pups had seen their father. One day a dog who looked like their father began to walk towards their house, however, it was actually a mutt. The pups saw him in the distance and ran to greet him because they were overjoyed that their father had returned! They each brought with them a present to welcome him home with. The first pup brought his favorite toy with him, the second pup brought her favorite brush with her, and the third pup brought with him the most delicious treat that he had been saving to eat after they finished their chores. When they approached the dog that looked like their father they began to realize that this dog was no...
