I'm excited for these readings especially for the Native American unit. I've take a Native American music class and I had a lot of fun learning about the cultural importance of song and dance.

The book/story that affected me the most in that class was the Iron Child by Mo Yan.  I've also been trying to learn to draw.

I've been using drawabox  to learn the fundamentals and I feel like I've made some progress.

Sun Wu Kong's terrible rage and battle prowess was well known. They didn't know if even their own King could defeat him.  "Hey!" bellowed the stone ape, "Give me back my kids!!" evidently he wanted to try negotiation first. Stammering, the Devil-King responded, "Wait don't you want to fight me?" He had not expected the legendary Sun Wu Kong to reason before using his brawn. "Of course, but I'm trying to control myself so they don't have to see your sorry state after I'm done with you." The Devil-King didn't even know how to react. He just stared in disbelief. "How could he be so ca
