Week Twelve Reading: The Hypocritical Cat

For this week's choice of free reading, I went back to last week, which got messed up due to the ice storm and the election, etc. I went with the story that caught my attention the most, The Hypocritical Cat, because of the name to be honest. I feel like all cats would be very hypocritical if they could be. I wanted to dive into more of the Jataka tales because they have become my favorite stories. I almost wish that for my project I had chosen to make a portfolio of the Jataka tales, as opposed to just random animals. I think these stories encompass much more moral storytelling, rather than random bits of stories. I really enjoyed this story because it is about exactly what it sounds like. I want to use this story in place of the previous story that I figured I might want to use in my project. This is just a backup for now, but there is a good chance that this could be the story that I decide to go with. This story is very whimsical and tells a really good story that would be fit for children to learn from, but also for adults to be able to take something out of. I think it would be neat to re-write the story from the perspective of the rats, or maybe set the story in a human group. There is a lot of things that I could do with this story in order to tell a new and revised story, just with different characters.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the world. I just

Week Four Story: The Bridge

The bridge between the Mainland and Lanka is a magical sight. This is Rama's bridge. Although it has been thousands of years since the creation of the bridge connecting the two regions, the bridge is still used by many. People say it used to connect what is now Sri Lanka and India, the gorgeous limestone meets the rock and the earth so wonderfully. It is mostly a tourist spot now, but peoples say that the rocky islands were constructed by Nala, son of Vishwakarman , the "divine artisan," in order to allow enemies to cross the ocean. This was allegedly demanded by the God of Ocean to keep things fair and reasonable. This small series of islands that create a land bridge between the two countries serves a special purpose in my life, however. I grew up along this land bridge, and I know more secrets of the bridge than many. I know what wars have been fought and won because of this bridge. I know of what Rama and Sita faced during the creation of this bridge, and the p
