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. 





I quite like sweets.

Introduction to Zeeshawn Beg

Hi! I'm Zeeshawn, a Microbiology major, med school hopeful, and computer enthusiast. I was born in Pakistan and my family immigrated to Oklahoma when I was just a couple months old. I still love to watch cricket. I can't see it live though because of the time zones it's always early in the morning.  ("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 7 Story: The Devil's Lair

( Jomblang Cave by Thomas Fuhrmann)   The Devil's Lair The Monkey King Sun Wu Kong stood before the mighty entrance of the Devil-King's lair. He had taken Sun Wu Kong's kin and had to be put in his place. This could not be forgiven. As the Monkey King entered the underground chamber, the servants of the Devil-King trembled. 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
