Week 8 Reading and Writing

The readings I have read so far in the reading assignments have given me more interest in some of the characters, weapons, battles, and stories. After some reflection on the course, I went back on my blog and website and figured I should change it a little. I altered the theme to a crisp and easy to read design, and changed the color and theme to some dark woods, for a better storytelling experience. Some of my favorite stories that I've read and altered to my own version include many of the encounter Rama has in the Ramayana, including Rama's Wraith. I also enjoy the battles in the Mahabharata because they bring a lot of dynamics that can be changed or retold in other ways. I've also discovered that, although taking reading notes may take some time and may not be my favorite assignment, they are essential when creating your own story, especially to get some inspiration and let thoughts develop. Looking forward, I realize I can start to manipulate my stories in a couple different ways based on inspiration from other students' stories.

I chose to include this picture from my blog titled "Topic Research: Weapons of Indian Epics," because it represents the destruction from the Brahmastra, the strongest weapon known among the stories. Linkhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/clouds-cloudscape-cloudy-dark-415355/

Introduction to a Future Physical Therapist

Howdy y’all, my name is Ethan Rafferty, a 3 rd  year student at the University of Oklahoma. I’ve been a sooner fan since I was born, because my Dad attended the university, so I was raised around the culture. One could say that I was brainwashed to go here, but I truly do love the school, from the academics, to the campus, to the sports. I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree. I believe the best part about my major is that it can allow me to help others once I graduate, including rehabbing those who suffered an injury or improving someon

Week 11 Story: The Chicken, Cow, and Spider

Image
Once there was a farm that had lots of animals. On this farm lived a chicken, cow and spider. They were all great friends and looked out for one another. Cow lived in a field, next to the chicken coop, where Chicken lived, and in the corner of that coop lived Spider, in his finely spun web. They loved it on the farm, until one day, Spider overheard the farmer talking about getting ready to slaughter Cow so he could sell beef to the market. Immediately, Spider told Chicken, who told Cow. They had to come up with a plan soon. The night before the farmer planned on butchering Cow, Spider came up with a plan to help his friend. He ventured out to the field where Cow lived, and told Cow to lay down and pretend to be dead. Then, he spun a web all around Cow, so that it looked like Cow had been dead for quite some time. When the farmer came out the next morning, he saw Cow, and said, “Oh no, Cow has died! I can’t butcher him now, his meat has spoiled and will no longer be good to eat. I’ll
