Week 13 Reading Notes: The Arrival of the Dragon

The Arrival of the Dragon
Bibliography: Beowulf unit. Story source: The Story of Beowulf by Strafford Riggs with illustrations by Henry Pitz (1933).Link to Story

I think that if I was to retell this story I would completely disregard everything. Like I have said before I am not a fan of any of the stories in this unit. They are not interesting to me and I find it hard to be creative about them. I think that I would write a story about the Beowulf and the Dragon. There was a show on MTV about a teenage werewolf so it would be kind of cool to write a story about two creatures a dragon and a wolf who were humans most of the time but had the ability to change into a werewolf or dragon. I would just write about a time where their human emotions were set off and they turned into their alter egos. After that happen they had people who were trying to hunt them down.

    Hi Alanna, just a quick note: I am not sure why you carried on with Part B of the unit if you did not find anything you liked in it (?)... but if you did not like anything, that's okay: just don't use it for any storytelling in class. You have reading notes from other weeks you can use instead; just making up a story at random won't work. The idea is to learn the material in this class by retelling it in your own words, so you can find another unit with stories you liked. If you didn't like any of these stories, then don't use them; use others! :-)

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 year
