Week 8 Reading and Writing

     So far I have really enjoyed keeping up a blog and creating my Storybook website. I have played around with the theme, colors, fonts, and styles of my blog in the previous weeks. The overall look of my blog is one that I am very happy with. Each week the reading assignments are my least favorite but I understand that we have to have something to base our stories off of. The storytelling assignments are my favorite. I have never had a class that allowed me to be so creative and explore creative writing like this class. One of the biggest accomplishments I have achieved so far is improving my writing. I really think that I have learned a few tricks that have helped my writing improve as the semester has progressed. 
     One thing I am unhappy with is Uloopi's story in my storybook. I was really pressed for time when writing it and was not very creative. It was more a retelling with a few twists than it was my own story based on the story of Uloopi. I am hoping that I will have time this week to make some changes and improve the first story of my storybook. Overall, I am really happy with how my storybook is going and I like the characters that I have chosen to include in my storybook. It is really important for me to have interesting characters to start with so that I am invested in their stories. I have found that when choosing something to write about if you can pick something that you are interested in or invested in it will work out better in the long run. 
     In the future, I want to make my blog posts more interesting and my storybook pages more creative. I am hoping that I will find more inspiration as I continue to read and learn more about the women's stories I have chosen. 

I chose to include the image of Sita returning to the earth because it is one of my favorites and I find it a very powerful image.

It's a really cool small town about 45 minutes south of here. There are some pretty cool things in Pauls Valley considering it's a small southern town. We have an action figure museum, water park, movie theater, and what I consider the best Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma. I enjoyed growing up in a small town, but I love living in Norman. There are so many more activities to do along with a faster pace which I have found suits my personality better. I work at Ted's Cafe Escondido part-time. I like working as a waitress, though sometimes being in customer service is trying. My co-workers are all very fun to be around which makes my job much better. I am a senior Psychology major which I absolutely love and think that everyone should study at some point. It's just so interesting! I lov

They did not bite him but wrapped around him and pulled him into very deep waters to drown him. The King of the snakes saw what they were doing and commanded them to let the poor human go. The little snakes obey his command and released the man. When Bheem woke up he looked around in awe of what he saw. He was in an underwater castle and was surrounded by snakes and he could breathe under the water. His memory came rushing back to him and he sprang to his feet. He knew that these snakes were a threat and did not plan to be caught by surprise again. "Calm down Bheem. I am Vasuki, King of the Snakes, and they have been commanded not to harm you." "Vasuki? King Vasuki I mean. Thank you so much for sparing my life!" The king threw a feast in honor of Bheem. He had a wonderful time at the feast and
