Reading Notes Part A: Arabian Nights

When I picked Arabian Nights, it was not at all what I imagined. I enjoyed the dramatic and twisted version. Sultan Schahriar is the first character this story focuses on and so far, he is my favorite, not because I believe in what he is doing because of one woman, but because I like the drama in his life. I could easily make this more modern. I like how it described the town and I could do something with that in my own version. 

I could also write a story from the perspective of the fathers whom daughters were killed. I could make it a revenge story just from someone else’s view. 

Scheherazade is a strong woman and I like her. She is intelligent and brave. With all the storytelling that has a story within another story, I could instead make Scheherazade kill him, which could save time and would still accomplish the same task.

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.

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
