Week 8 Reading and Writing

I think this course has helped me become better at thinking through my ideas and expressing them in a more presentable way. I'm alright with my blog and project website. I think if I had more time to dedicate to the class I would use it to dive a bit deeper into the customizations and really try to make it more unique. I think my writing overall tends to be a bit rambly and I have trouble staying on a topic and presenting a cohesive story. I think this is reflected in my first storybook story as I keep switching perspectives and styles. My favorite reading so far has been the voyages of Sindbad. He always gets os lucky and he seems to be pretty thankful to be alive. Reading notes definitely help me write the stories. I should probably take more detailed notes though as I feel like I forget a lot of information by the time I write the story.

Looking forward, I really need to work on my time management skills. I'm in my last semester and I really should have figured this out by now.

Introduction to Zeeshawn Beg

("Wahab Stuns Hosts! | England vs Pakistan Match Highlights | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019" at youtube ) One of my favorite classes has been Chinese Literature. I had never really learned much about Chinese history, so this class really opened my eyes and helped me understand recent history. 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. The idea of being able to create something has really motivated me and especially being able to see great art anytime on the internet has helped fuel this. I've been using drawabox to learn the fundamentals and I feel like I've made some progress....

Week 2 Story: Entrapment

(source: The Trapped Tiger by Snehil Singh ) Once upon a time, there was a poor Brahman walking through the forest. He happened upon a tiger caught in a hunter’s cage. “Let me out of this cage, oh pious one!” cried the tiger. “Nah you’ll probably eat me if I do” remarked the Brahman, “How could I trust you to do anything else?” “No!” bellowed the tiger swearing oaths the Brahman had not even heard of, “I will serve as your slave and always be by your side!” The Brahman’s mind raced. “A tiger slave? But how can I trust him? But tigers are pretty cool. And I might be able get some fame and fortune. Who wouldn’t come to see a man and his slave tiger,” He thought. He said to the tiger, “Ok, I will free you,” and after some trouble he released the tiger from its imprisonment. It leapt upon him and said. “You fool, how could you be so naive as I’ve been for so long and worked up quite an appetite. How did you even plan to subdue me into beijing your slave?” The Brahman said, “ My...
