Reading Notes: Aesop's Fables, Part A

The Lion and the Statue
Aesop's Fables by Joseph Jacobs: click link


This is one of the more interesting stories I have read so far. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked that you could learn a life lesson with each story. Each fable could be compared to everyday life, so it always stays relevant. For one of my ideas for the storytelling assignment, I would like to have the characters be human in costumes. For the Lion, I was thinking he could be Edward Scissorhands, because he gets his claws trimmed for love and gets some teeth pulled. The teeth part isn’t as relevant as the claws. Other than the Lion, it should be like a masquerade with life lessons that could be relevant today. I am not sure how I will stay true to the story with all the crazy ideas, but I think I am able to do this. It will have a sinister type twist to an already messed up collection of fables. The fable with the Lion in the cave, a few of the fox fables, and the arena story in Lions part 2 are a few that really stood out to me. I want to also tie in some of the actual quotes for each lesson they teach.

Introduction a horror fanatic

Hello! My name is Tabitha. I go by Tabi to the people who know me. I think Tabitha sounds like an older woman, so I shortened it for now and no, I cannot wiggle my nose like the daughter on  Bewitched.  Although, I do have blue eyes like her. Anyway, I am 25 years old. I transferred here after a few major changes. Going from a science degree to accounting took some time. I have been a senior a few years now. I make myself feel better by saying that I have two associate degrees. Accounting is something that has always been intriguing to me. It is interesting to me because accounting is like a huge difficult puzzle piece. Everything has its own place in accounting and it is my job to find it or fix the placement. I am currently going for my bachelors, then will get a job and work on my master’s degree in accounting. I have not picked a field yet, but I intend to before school ends for me.  I am a huge horror genre fan. I also love thrillers and supernatural type shows, books, an

Week 7 Story: Love is in the Air

Update: This story is in my portfolio. https://sites.google.com/view/colortheworld/home Love is in the Air Love is all around in Princeton town. The birds are chirping. The sun is out and there isn’t a frown in sight. The couples are taking afternoon strolls on campus and having picnics on the lawn. University students here are either in a relationship or casually dating. Then there was Sally. Sally is a girl who you would normally see in the corner with her nose in a book or in the cafeteria by herself doing homework. Sally didn’t have the best luck when it came to her love life or lack thereof. She would put her head down when she walked and shy away from any conversation that was not about school. On the other side of the cafeteria, we had Austin. Austin was an outcast, to say the least. He had a few friends, but they only bonded over how much they didn’t fit in. He was into graphic novels and video games. Austin would always look at Sally from afar, but she never no
