Wikipedia Trail; From Robert Taylor to Whitey Bulger

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Taylor_(artist) I chose Robert Taylor from the class announcements section on canvas. I like native american art and thought it would be interesting to read about him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa,_Oklahoma Robert Taylor is from Tulsa which is my home town! I know the highschool he went to which is so cool that an artist is from my area! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Hills_Country_Club When reading more about Tulsa I came across southern hills country club which is the most famous country club in Tulsa. I had heard about a mob shooting that happened there in the 80's which intrigued me to click on it to see if they mention it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitey_Bulger I got to White Bulger from the southern hills wikipedia page. It is a well known story in Tulsa and White even has a movie after his life. He is a real person and it is such a crazy story! Tulsa isnt as boring as people think! The Souther Hills...

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

Tech Tip; Canvas App

I have had the canvas app for quite some time now. I am indifferent on using it. It seems to me there is a lot glitches with and it doesn't show everything that I want it to. It takes a while to load and when I click on messages sometimes it still shows them as unread. I honestly wait for the email to come to my ou email address to read the message because that loads faster than the app. I feel they could really do a better job with the app and make it easier to use. Its almost easier to use the internet on my phone to go to canvas than the app.

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

Week 13 story; The Drunk and The Devil

Blog Story! Dillon Dilly is an American, a construction worker, and a drunk. He would only work on his projects long enough to have enough money for booze and once he spent all his money on alcohol, he would return to his work. Dillon was walking back to his home one day after a week long bender when he said to himself, " I would sell my soul to the devil just to get more beer." At that moment a tall, slender, black figure walked up to him and asked "What did you say?" "I said I would sell my soul to the devil for another drink" The figure said "How much do you want for seven years and at the end the devil will take your soul?" Dillon replied " I am not sure. It would depend" "How does $7,000 sound?" "Ill take $7,000!" "And the devil will take your soul at the end of the seven years?" "Yes, I don't care about that." When Dillon got back to his house he found the $7,000 in ...

Reading Notes B; Billy Duffy and the Devil

Welsh fairy-tales and other stories by Peter Emerson; Link The main character of the story is billy duffy He was a drunk, who sold his soul to the devil just to have another drink He was granted three wishes by a hermit when the devil came to claim his debt he used his wishes to trick the devil I could easily create my own story from this and add different details I would change the wording around to have it make more sense to the reader I want to keep the part of billy tricking the devil but maybe have it where the devil gets revenge after Instead of billy being a blacksmith he could have another occupation Billy Duffys Beer; Pexel
