Week 8 Reading and Writing

The reading and writing so far for me has been interesting. I fell behind a bit so I am having to catch up but I will get there. I have enjoyed reading these stories and most of the stuff I have never even heard of before. I believe I have been more creative in my writing and it has actually been fun to make up my own stories.

I chose this image of the lion because it is my favorite animal. It was relevant to my story of Androcles as well!

Looking forward I need to be more organized in class and try and manage my time better to do the writing and reading.

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

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

Reading Notes EC; The Theft of Fire

Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail. The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him. The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians. They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal. Fire
