Reading Notes: West Africa, Anansi and Nothing


  •  My favorite character in the story was Nothing
  • I don't understand how a man got so rich but was persuaded so easily as Nothing was
  • I could change the story to make at as Nothings idea to switch to see which women wanted him for who he was and who wanted him for his money
  • I also could make it to where after Nothing found his wife she was secretly evil and played tricks on the town
  • Nothing was tricked into stepping out of his house even though his wife told him not to and was killed by Anansi
  • I feel I could change the way Anansi killed nothing or make it where Nothing turned the table and captured Anansi instead or maybe Nothing could fall into a pit of poison snakes
  • I don't understand the last paragraph. I think I would change it to where the village people cooked Nothings wife food and then they would "cry for nothing"

An introduction to me... Zack Ziegenhorn

Hello Everybody! My name is Zack Ziegenhorn, but most everyone I know calls me Zig for short. Its much easier to remember than Zack and MUCH easier to spell than Ziegenhorn. (lol) I am from Tulsa, OK and I am a senior Communication major. I went to Tulsa Union High School where I played baseball. I continued my baseball career for one year in college at Seminole State College but had to cut my baseball career short due to nagging injuries 😡. I came to OU in 2013 because I have been Sooner born and Sooner bred. I have been a huge OU fan my entire life and was so excited to get the opportunity to attend this University.                      Obviously I am a huge sports fan and love football, baseball, basketball, and golf. My favorite teams are OU, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thunder up!! I enjoy going to the lake over the summer and getting on the boat and just having a great time with friends and ...

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan.  I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting.  Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
