What I found especially interesting about this
weeks reading was the story of The Talkative Tortoise because it was almost
exactly the same story that I did my Week 1 Storytelling over. It was the same
story about a turtle holding on to the middle of a stick with its mouth while
two ducks held either end of the stick, they then flew up in the air where the
turtle then opened his mouth to talk causing him to fall to his death. There
were so many stories I enjoyed in this past week's writings. It just makes the
week so much fun that all the stories were great. This is probably why I am so
excited about the upcoming week because I get to read the stories that one of
my favorite movies growing up was about – Brer Rabbit. Who can forget the Magic
Kingdom water ride “Splash Mountain” where you ride around in a log and then go
down a gigantic drop into the brer patch? If that doesn’t sound familiar, how
about zip-a-dee-doo-dah. Sound familiar yet? It should be a good week to come indeed.
Every week I talk about how stressful classes are and how it is
difficult to keep up with all of the readings for all of the classes - but not
this week. I have been busting my gluteus maximus off this past week and
weekend to get a head of the game (especially so for mythology and folklore) so
that I do not fall behind in any classes. I do wish more of my classes were
arranged and run like this one. With relevant and interesting readings and
assignments that are important but not necessarily looking for an exact, one
hundred percent perfect answer. It gives creativity a chance, which many
classes try to take away. So getting a head of my classes is the goal for these
next few weeks, either by doing half of the assignments the week before or all
of the assignments.
