Reading Part B The Tales of the Parrot

Reading Part B: The Merchant whose Daughter was Lost
Bibliography: Tales of a Parrot unit. Story source: The Tooti Nameh or Tales of a Parrot, by Ziya'al-Din Nakhshabi (1801). Link to Story

As soon as I read the title of this story I immediately thought of the Movie 'Taken' with Liam Neeson. I think if I was to choose this story that I would make it similar to the movie and add some more action to it while keeping a similar storyline to the original story. I would probably make the daughter someone that traveled to a differnt country and all of the men there thought she was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. Instead of the dad being in America like in the movie I will make him an important public figure. I think having this perspective will make it a little more interesting. Maybe instead of the men who are courting her rescuing her I may have the dad go FBI agent on them and he would rescue her.

Introducing Me... Alanna Curry!!

Hello, all! My name is Alanna Curry and I am from Mckinney, TX. This semester I am starting my senior year, which is crazy to me because it seems like just yesterday I was starting my freshmen year at OU! I am majoring in Marketing with hopes to go into sales. This past summer I spent my time interning at the Four Seasons Resort in Dallas. Although, I am not a hospitality major I was interested in the internship because I love interacting with people and like the idea of making someone dreams come true through their stay at the resort. When I have free time ( which is never), I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, working out, and shopping. During the school year, I work at Orangetheory Fitness in Moore. 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...

Week 13 Growth Mindset Mantra

Image
My Mantra   I really like this Mantra because I think when we are going through a hard time in our lives and we look for our strength in other people. In reality when we are struggling it is important to note that in order to get through it we need to look within ourselves to find strength. No one else is going to be able to give enough advice to get us through something we have to choose to use our strength from within to get through challenges.

Week 13 Storytell: Owen O' Mulready

Image
There once was a man named Owen O'Mulready. Mulready lived an unfortunate life where he was isolated far in the forest with only a husband/wife as his companions. He served as their full-time servant because he had committed a crime and was cursed to live in the isolated forest for the rest of his life.  One night as he was tossing and turning in his sleep he dreamed of a plan that would help him escape the forest. He dreamed that one day they would receive a visitor that had also had magical powers. This visitor would have the ability to magically have Owen disappear from the forest. Once the visitor arrived he would only do this on one condition that if he transported Owen back into the city where he could interact with other people he would be the sorcerors servant two times a week.  Owen gladly agreed to this.  Once Owen woke up the next morning he recalled the dream he had the night before hoping that it would come through. Later that day they r...
