Week 8 Reading and Writing

It's been weeks of reading and writing in this class. I like this class, but there are several readings and writings I need to do. The assignments are really interesting and honestly most stories are pretty fascinating. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied and happy with my blog.


My website (Project) has been lagging behind a little bit, but I've done very good revisions on my Portfolio stories.


The biggest accomplishment I think I've done in this class is the several creative stories that I've written for story assignments. They become the basis for my portfolio project, and I think they are all interesting and pretty creative.


My favorite reading by far is the story of Vali and Sugriva. Although they are both Princes, the brothers have different personalities and motivations.


Reading notes definitely help me keep track of the contents of reading and supplement important information when I'm writing new stories.

I've employed all the sorts and kinds of reading and research strategies that are described in the blog post. They are all helpful and useful in different aspects in creating and revising better stories.


Looking forward, I will be reading by paying more attention to plots than the scenes and backgrounds. It's been an amazing class, and I very much look forward to read more interesting Indian epic stories.

Week 10 Review

**While I was doing Part 2, check-up, I've found that I didn't declare for one Reading Notes that I did back in Week 5. So, I declared it for Extra Reading for Week 10 instead. When Your Brain Doesn't Sleep (Graphic) I've found this graphic to be relevant to my current state. It's also interesting to learn about the science of brain and sleep. Brain perhaps is the most important organ in our body, and it does many important jobs to make us stay afloat. I've also found several brain malfunctioning experiences I've had due to sleeping less. Lost memories, anger, impaired wit, head in the clouds, slurred speech, and risky decisions all sound very relevant to my personal experiences of getting inadequate sleep. It's so fascinating to learn about the interesting correlation. The graphic is obviously very effective at fulfilling its purpose of informing people about the danger of sleep deprivation.

Assignments

As I was reading through the various class assignments, two distinctly different thoughts came into my mind. I've had both positive and negative thoughts, yet positive thought is much bigger than negative one. One thought is that there are many, several weekly readings and assignments, and they can get quite overwhelming at some point during the semester (e.g. Midterm). The other thought is that all those readings and assignments are.. in fact.. FUN!! I know for sure, no matter how much reading and assignments there are, I will be thoroughly enjoying them. I love reading interesting fairy tales, myths, and legends. This class is all about that. In addition, I love the fact that the purpose of the assignments are to write authentically and creatively.  I'm intrigued by writing a storybook for class project. I've never written a storybook before, but I'm sure I will be having so much fun doing it.   Extra credit assignments are just as intere...
