Reading Options

After going through the online textbook I really liked how everything was formatted. I think that because of this it will make the flow of the class go a lot smoother. Below are a few stories that I found somewhat intriguing, but with the options, we were given there are definitely a lot more I know I will like. 

 Why the Lizards Moves His Head Up and Down


I have always been intrigued by lizards and I like that folk tales give light to characteristics of everyday animals. It was a little confusing though because I was not exactly sure if the lizard was a human or an actual lizard. 

The Green Jewel

This story was rather short and I think it would have been more interesting if we had more information on what happened after the green jewel was found. It seemed like the king was found of the girl that lost it and it would have been more interesting if we had known what happen. 

 Hagar

 I really like that there is a biblical unit. As a kid, I grew up reading these stories, but in the simplified children's version. I really liked how this version was the real thing as far as the wording. It made you feel like you can actually visualize it happening even if it was harder to understand.

I love working here because it is a fun atmosphere and it encourages me to work out. My favorite thing about OU is the football! I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...
