Week 8 Reading and Writing

-

 The reading and writing assignments have been working well for me. I've established a good routine to keep up with the work, and I've gotten better at reading as the class has progressed. I can read more diligently, and my reading notes are more focused on storytelling than general plot notes. I can also find stories that I want to re-tell really easily, and I feel comfortable writing stories. I'm happy with the way my blog and project website looks, and I've been satisfied with my writing style. I found that I like to keep the theme and central plot points consistent and change the characters as well as the environment. I want to convey the same message but in different ways. Overall, I feel like I've been improving and growing as a reader and a writer. I've thoroughly enjoyed the class so far, and I look forward to working more on telling stories and completing my project! Looking forward, I aim to keep my routine up and finish my project with more interesting stories. I chose this photo of a white lotus from my Week 2 Reading Notes, because I find the picture so beautiful. The flower is so eloquent, and it's such a calming color.

Introduction to Ish

  Hey everybody! My name’s Ishan, but I go by Ish, like fish without the f. I’m a sophomore and I’m majoring in both Biology and Letters with a Pre-Med track. I hope to practice medicine, but I’m still unsure of the specialty I want to work in. I’ve been fascinated with neurosurgery, but the extensive schooling and long, risky procedures made the field less appealing. I recently read Do No Harm by Dr. Henry Marsh, one of the world’s best neurosurgeons, and the various stories demonstrated the difficult lifestyle of a neurosurgeon. As a result, I’d be more interested in a neurosurgical specialization of a field I found appealing, such as a neuro-ophthalmology, but I’m open to all options.   I was born in Frankfort, Indiana; it’s an extremely small town relatively close to Indianapolis. My family and I moved to St. Joseph, Missouri when I began preschool, before moving to Terre Haute, Indiana when I began 3 rd grade. We then moved to Edmond, Oklahoma when...

Week 2 Story: The Strength of the Son

In suburban America, there once was a boastful and arrogant father who prided himself of his strength. He lay claim to be the strongest in the neighborhood through his arm wrestling competition at their annual cookout. While many men tried, none could defeat him and therefore he claimed to be the Arm Wrestling King, a title he held with great pride.  Two men arm wrestling. Source: Pixabay As the man grew weaker over the years, he knew his son could seize the throne at the annual cookout. The mere thought filled him with fear, and he was well aware of his son’s impressive strength. To distract his son and preserve his ego, the father devised a plan to keep the adolescent away from threatening his title. On the day of the cookout, the father disguised his scheme by politely asking his son for a favor. “Hey bud, I’m going to need you to drive down to the Jerry Mart and bring 10 cases of their finest craft beer. Be quick, we’ve got guests coming in 20 minutes.” Without hesitation, his ...
