My Reading Options

Thought-Provoking  By: Melissa Donovan


  • The first unit I have interest in is the Native American Marriage Tales. I gravitated towards this unit due to my own Native American background and hearing stories told when around family of how certain things became the way they are. I feel like this unit would be a good way to explore other tribes' stories and to delve into my own tribes'. 
  • Next I chose Homer's Iliad as the second unit to explore. This comes from previous taking a class and having to read and analyze the characters and their meanings in the story. The Iliad is very fascinating as far as how Homer depicted each god and their respective role in the fight between Achilles and Hector. This would definitely be a unit to consider writing my own stories from.
  • Lastly I chose Dante's Inferno to investigate due to hearing about the story but never being able to read it and analyze it. After reading the overview of the story, it intrigued me more on how it is written as a journey and a reflection on the places he visited. This created the thought in my head of how I would possibly like to write my own storybook for the class.

Pomsky  By Kaelin Tully  Hi guys, I’m Crystel Fields! I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently a super-senior (last year…woo!) majoring in Microbiology. I know what you are wondering...“Whoa, are you Pre -Med or something?”, yes I am! I chose my major not only because of it having a vast majority of the classes need to apply to medical school, but because I truly find it interesting. I love microscopic work and being able to identify what a certain bacterium is. Furthermore, I also really enjoy having the ability to work through and diagnose patients with various conditions like in a class I am currently taking called Medical Microbiology. I hope to go on to medical school within a year to become a surgeon, not sure on specific practice yet. Anyways, enough about school ha-ha, in my free time I like to do a little of everything: hangout with friends, read, craft, and of course attend OU football games! My time with friends could be spent doing anything from just staying inside

Lion Attack There were a group of women whom seeked out roots, herbs, and other wild food. On day, on a trip home they became hungry and decided to eat something from the fields. They noticed that a woman's herbs were particularly good while all of the others' were not. The woman, who had picked all the delicious herbs and food, over heard the other women talking about her. They made her throw away her wonderful herbs which really saddened her. She decided that she wasn't going to listen to them and ran into the woods where she came upon a hare. "Give me some water that I may drink", she requested of the hare. The hare responded that he had borrowed the cup from his uncle lion and she could not drink from it. Once again she asked only to be met with the same reply. At this point she was pretty frustrated and thought what kind of hare has an uncle lion. Therefore, she snatched the cup away and teased the little rabbit claiming how she would not be scare
