Week 7 Reading Notes Part A: Laos

I had trouble picking a story to read this week. I ended up picking Laos. The stories were interesting, but not as much as other weeks. I had trouble staying interested. I think I could do something with the "The Spirit - Guarded Cave." I like that the spirits were loyal the owners of the treasure even after they all passed away. This story would be easy to recreate. 

I also liked "The Parrot and the Minor Bird." It would be easy to turn this into a horror story. The men were threatened by the sao bird because there was a chance that it could be smarter than them. It is explained that the parrot and minor bird only echo the words of man because of it. 

The Giants' Mountain and the Temple would also be a good choice.

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

Reading Options

I would like to read stories that are popular, which I have not read yet. I like knowing the information when people use sayings or quotes from books or movies. Dante's Inferno Inferno This is a story I have wanted to read for a while now, not just because it is a video game. I am not sure what the story is about and I would love to find out for myself. There are many stories that I have either seen the movie or just heard a version of the story. I would like to explore these readings to find stories that entertain and keep my attention. Twenty-Two Goblins Twenty-Two Goblins is a story that I know I like so far. I started it last semester but did not get around to finishing it. I recommend it to anyone who likes stories that are a little unusual. Canterbury Tales I read a storybook last semester that made me want to read these tales. It focused on Death and it grabbed my attention almost immediately.
