Week 6 Extra Credit Reading Notes Part A: Twenty-Two Goblins

These stories interested me and intrigue me for sure. I was excited about the creepiness of the first couple stories. After about the first three stories, the stories that the Goblin told were a little less entertaining. I was less engaged to them then at the beginning. I enjoyed the stories about having to choose between the head of your brother or the head of your husband and with the bodies. I even asked people at work which option they would choose if they had to. If I were to rewrite this part of the story, I would make the other stories more interesting by adding a little more gore or strange events that people would not know how to choose from. The last story about the wives did not have a purpose that made sense to me. Unless part B has something that ties all of part A’s stories together, I am quite lost on the purpose of choosing from all the stories. Although I did agree with the majority of the decisions that the kind made.

I am looking forward to what is to come in part B. I hope that it gets more exciting and gives a purpose to all of these stories. I very much enjoyed the fact that he had to cut the dead body down from the tree before every story. It was creepy that the first time, the body laughed. I was intrigued. I would like to make this story a little more twisted.

  1. Your use of a picture from Labyrinth is wonderful. That is one of my favorite childhood movies and the reference made me smile, so thank you for that.

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I think that the feedback could be more constructive. I find that the comments that let me know if there is confusion or anything in the story help me the most. I believe that I am helping when it comes to grammar, but the content aspect could use improvement. I realize just how immense the possibilities can be when it comes to writing our weekly stories. I do not feel like I am getting to know people because I usually do not connect with people over the internet. I have to see and talk to people physically in order to feel like I have any sense of who they are. I am happy with my introduction post. I believe that I could look up more feedback strategies in order to benefit others and myself. I chose this particular graphic because it clearly states the adjectives that should describe your feedback style. It is concise and I like the colors. I think that it helps more than the others because it does not have as much writing. 21 Components of Effective Feedback
