Reading Notes: Week 2 Anthology

-
I really want to focus on the character of the cunning crane. It seems in every story you're told or read, there is this cunning individual. They are devious as the evil villain, but other times, why do we somehow relate to/respect them? Maybe their deceit is for the good against evil, maybe their deceit is a natural human action we're all guilty of (hence the relatability), or maybe their deceit is simply so flawless that the only thing we can do is applaud it out of amazement. While we're surely against the devious crane taking advantage of the innocent fish, for my storybook this semester I want to focus more on a cunning character that uses his devious skills to fight evil.

I was already going to be living in Norman because of my lease, so I thought why not? While the dampers of 2020 were not known at the time, I could surely not "un-sign" my lease, and the class I enrolled in was an extremely important one for my major, so I followed through with my plan. Last summer I moved into the home I'm living in now and attended my first lecture of biochemistry. Going into the class I had no idea what to expect! What topics does biochemistry even cover? I knew it was very important that I not only earned my A, but that I truly retained the information taught to me. Along with my major I'm pre-med, which essentially means I'm going to have to take the MCAT at some point in order to be accepted into medical school. Having a good foundati

Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
