Week 8 Reading and Writing

I wish I had more to say here! I don't have any major changes that I wanted to make to my blog. I set it up a little bit before school started in a way that I knew I would like and would be consistently happy with. I'm easily able to navigate it, which I feel is the most important because I'm very tech dumb. I like my writing assignments, though I did miss a story on accident. That's okay, I'm sure I'll survive! I think writing everyday tires me out sometimes, but I still enjoy it. I think I'm having the hardest time with my project because I'm a perfectionist and would like to please everyone, though I'm aware that's impossible. I like the writing that I've done though. I really don't find any issues with it outside of a few things that I can fix with revisions. Overall, I'm happy with my progress in this class and with my writing!

I chose this picture as my favorite simply because I like Karna. I'm kind of sad that I didn't end up getting to do something with him in a project or story of some kind, but that's okay! I can still appreciate my boy. I think he's an interesting character. 

I'm not really sure what I want when I look forward! I'd like to continue moving through the course as swiftly as possible! I'm hoping to continue enjoying what I read and write. I'm sure I can meet that goal! :)

Introduction to a Dolly Parton Fanatic

As someone who writes frequently, I find it difficult to write about myself, but I will do my best! My name is pronounced like ‘Riley’ and I’m a criminology major. My most frequently asked question is, “Do you want to be a cop?” Nope! Having studied the criminal justice system so intensely, I’ve decided I’d rather not have a career in it. I’d rather teach or do social work. I’d also be fine doing independent studies of some sort. I love sociology. I think it’s so, so important in today’s political climate that we tackle social problems with care. As much as I love talking about my major, it can be a tad heavy at times. When I’m not trying to save the world, I like to research people. My two favorites happen to be similar in many respects, Dolly Parton and Billy the Kid, western icons. Dolly and I share the same birthday and I feel we are linked somehow because of this. Coming from poverty and being able to create such an empire for herself, I just think she’s rema

Week 9 Story: The Best Archer

A trail of crimson ran down Ekalavya’s hand and onto the dirt. The boy used his free hand to apply pressure to the new wound, his thumb now missing. Drona looked down at Ekalavya, stone-faced, as emotionless as he could be. He was mildly surprised that the young archer had completed such a serious request with no refusal. When asked to cut off his right thumb, listened to the words of his teacher, someone he had not even trained with in person, and did what was asked of him.             “What a shame,” Ekalavya said to himself, quietly.             Drona raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”             Ekalavya looked up at the taller man, his deep brown eyes brimming with tears. Drona assumed the tears were in relation to the pain of losing a thumb in a brutal fashion. “I could’ve been great. You know that, right?” Ekalavya paused, wincing in pain as he shifted his hand slightly. “I had been practicing so hard too.”             “I can tell. That’s why this
