Week 11 Story: YOU'ER A LAIR! Meme Once upon a time... Brian asked his friend to care for his plough. He needed to leave for a journey he could not forego. His friend accepted with delight. His next actions will begin a fight The friend sold his plough with no guilt. He was completely breaking the trust built. The plough he sold for a great sum He would do his best not to be dumb. To cover his but he devised a lie. Any foul play he would quickly deny. He was so happy with his new fortune. Not considering Brain’s misfortune. When Brian returned he had a question. He asked it with no hint of aggression. “What happened to my plough?” “This is such a terrible woe!” His friend lied through his teeth. Under his frown, there was a smile underneath. He stated how big rat ate it up one night. Brian knew that something was not right. This lie did not fool him at all. He thought to himself that it took a lot of gall. ...

Meme The Wise and Foolish Merchant This story had a good moral but it was not told int the best way. Maybe it being written in rhyme would help. The demons not having a shadow was a cool touch to the story. The Elephant Girly-face This is not a very good story. There is modeling behavior but he simply heard people talk about hurting people. I don't want to write a rhyme over this story. The Banyan Deer This story is dumb.. If you can talk with these creatures why did he feel comfortable killing them in the first place?? This is just too bizarre to me. The Princes and the Water-Sprite This story was ok. I think it could be enhanced if it was turned to a rhyme. I would want to change the reasoning why they went into the forest though. They are always demonizing women. The King's White Elephant I would write a rhyme about this story but I would not have the king buy him. Then the elephant was taken from his friends and family. The Ox Who Never Envie...

Reading Part A Meme The Monkey and the Crocodile I wrote a story in rhyme about this story and it was very difficult because all the things in the story don't have many rhymes and it limited my storytelling a bit. How the Turtle Saved His Own Life I think that this could be easily adapted into a new rhyme for me to write. I would want to change them thinking he was a demon to something else but I don't know what yet. I think that there could be some great wordplay in my story. The Merchant of Seri I did not like this story very much I thought the goo merchant was going to bring that family more money since she had more mouths to feed. I rather write about a different story. The Turtle Who Could n't Stop Talking This story is very sad. I prefer writing dark or happy stories for the rhymes. I hate that he splats The Ox Who Won the Forfeit This was a pretty good story although I don't know what lead the farmer to treat his ox that way. If I wrote t...

The summer of before sophomore year I wanted to go on a trip. This would not just be any trip though. This would be the first vacation without my mom or sister there and it would just be my boyfriend Sam and I. I was so excited.  Our plan was to go to California for the first time together. We decided to make it not to structured. We wanted it to be laid back and carefree. Luckily, my dad’s cousin has a house in orange county and has an extra room. He said that we could stay with him meaning we didn’t have to waste money on a place to stay!  So, I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan. Then Chris, my dad’s cousin, picked us up. From there we knew something was off… I had only met him once before. That Christmas he had mentioned if we ever wanted to go to California that we could stay with him, but what we learned was he meant to visit him. Chris ended up crying multiple times while driving us around. He talked about how lonely he wa...
