Week 8 Reading and Writing


Overall, I really enjoyed the reading and writing assignments. My favorite reading was the African stories, such as the Brer Rabbit stories. I really do think that the reading notes have made the story telling much more organized and easier to write. I think my best accomplishment has been working in a greater amount of descriptive details for the surrounds and the characters in the stories. I feel like as the semester has progressed, I have gotten better and better at descriptive story telling. I think that my biggest accomplishment was coming up with the idea for my Land of the Cyclopes story.

My favorite story to write was by far The Land of the Cyclopes (see image posted). That is why I chose this image. It was the weirdest, most spontaneous story I have every created and I really enjoyed writing it. Even though it is utterly ridiculous, I think that story telling should give you the freedom to come up with whatever insane idea comes to mind and express that on paper through a well thought out story.

I would like to work in the project planning for the Beowulf vs Grendel Title fight that I have previously, but I don't know how I would go about doing that with the current portfolio that I have made. I really like the readings as I believe they have made me become a better story teller and writer.

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.
