Extra Credit Reading Notes A: Physician's Revenge

The Physician's Revenge

I really enjoyed reading this story. There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from it and it provided a very easy and engaging read. From this story, it tells the reader that it is better to spare those who you believe have wronged you as it will be better off. Such as when the king killed the physician and then died himself because of this act. This was a very satisfying and fitting end to the story.

I was very confused readying the story about where the fisherman and the genius came into play in the story and why it transitioned from the king killing the physician to the genius talking the fisherman into letting him go for a favor.

It seemed as though the genius was telling the fisherman the story to soften him up to the idea of releasing him and doing as he wishes in the hope that something good will happen. This was an idea put in his head by the story of how bad things happen to those we don't spare others, so logically the message is about good things happen when you do spare someone.

Week 3 Story: The Land of the Cyclopes

Cyclopes Shark Odyssey: The Land of the Cyclopes You probably believe that the Cyclopes look similar to humans, but are much bigger and have a third eye in the middle of their forehead. However, you are very wrong to think this. In Cyclopes Island east of the candy cane forest and north of the rock candy mountains, there are many species of cyclopes. There are bird cyclopes, with there 3 eyes and gigantic size. Most notable would be the cyclopes raven, blessed with the ability of 2nd sight, he is able to out maneuver large predators and have easy access to the island abundant food source of cyclopes mice. The most fearsome predator that lives on this island, is by far the Cyclopes Shark. This beast has only one eye in the middle of its pointy, brutish face. This monstrosity feeds on any that dare to venture out into Cyclopes Loch and its adjacent pools. The island flourishes year round as there is only one season. The stable weather is a blessing from the gods. Most import...
