Week 7: Back Up and Review

"You want your sentences to live, not to join the living dead."- Helen Sword (see link from photo)
This quote is from the video "Zombie Nouns," which is a video about normalization. I learned a great deal from this video. I did not know that in creative story writing that something so simple to fix could either make your readers engage in the story, or drift to sleep. Active verbs are important. I did not realize how much I use normalization in my every day writing for marketing.

I liked this particular graphic because of the colors. It was a plus that I liked what it said too. I think it is a beautiful creative picture.

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.
