The Dragon King
If I were to use the first story, “The Lord Bag of Rice”, I could make the Dragon King a woman. This would add a love aspect and make her a damsel in distress. Instead of the gifts being these amazing things, I could make one of them have poison in it. The Dragon King can be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She could also be able to transform into other things so she can fool men. I want to make her like a siren. 

There are many ideas that I could use for the second one. I like stories where characters are born from tragedy. This gives them an underdog quality. Kintaro uses animals as his servants and I think he uses them as friends too. He seems to be as strong as Hercules and nice also. I could possibly make this a crossover between Hercules and Cinderella with all the animals.

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.

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
