This week has been a productive week for me. I feel like I have begun to get that hang of this blogging thing. I can see why some people like to do it so much. It is a nice way to just throw what you are thinking down on the "screen" so to speak. When I first started blogging for this class, I was a bit anxious as to what I should put down, and it would be hard for me to think of the "right" thing to say. Now that we have finished week two I feel like I am starting to catch my stride.
My best writing of this week has to be my story bout the Tower of Babel. I like how I put the perspective of the story in the hands of a person who lived in the city and saw first hand the atrocities that bred there. I feel like I can definitely polish this style of writing more. I always have my two roommates read my posts, so they can catch any proofreading mistakes I wasn't able to find. I feel like this helps round out my writing.
I am a server at Cheddar's Casual Cafe. I was at work the other day and started a discussion with one of my coworkers about this class. I was talking about The Legend of Noah unit that I read for this week. We eventually started talking about a book that she had just finished reading about Buddha. I am looking to forward to reading the Jatakas and the life of Prince Siddhartha. My brother has also said good things about Buddhist fairy tales in general. Many of them have good themes intertwined in the stories that they pass down.
This next week I have decided to read the Jewish Fairy Tales instead of Saints and Animals. I chose this because it matches with the Legend of Noah reading I did this week. I enjoyed this reading a lot and figured that I should do the reading that matched the Legend of Noah.
