Reading Notes: The Hemp-Smoker's Dream, Reading B




I did not like reading this story, it didn't make sense and there was very little plot to it. However, the reason why I am writing my notes about it is because of the great potential that the story has. While in its current state its terrible, there is a lot of opportunity to create the most complex, unbelievable story line ever and simply end it with, he was intoxicated as the only explanation for why the story was so ridiculous. This excuse allows the story to be random and unpredictable and have the most incredible plot twists that would never happen in real life. This story type provides the writer with an great deal of freedom to let his creative expression run wild in the story. I intend to use this creative freedom in my future writings and not limit my self to what is the norm or what a normal reader would expect from a story. So for this reason, I like the idea behind the story I read, but not the story itself as it was boring, unimaginative and did not have much of a plot.

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.
