Week 8 Reading and Writing


1. Looking Back

I have missed a few reading and writing assignments, but mostly because I procrastinated too much and then decided not to do them altogether. It is not that I don't like the readings, because I do, I just feel as though there is so much to do in one sitting that I get tired and lazy. Despite that, my favorites readings were the original Beauty and the Basilisk, as well as stories from Ancient Egypt. The writing is probably my favorite part of any of the assignments. Taking the old stories and making them into my own is fun. I like being able to make them my own by adding my personal touch on each of the tales. This is why I absolutely adore the project that I have chosen. Women in Constellations is something that I was interested in for a very long time (we all know about my Cassiopeia tattoo), and being able to give these women a voice outside of their original tales is awesome and really invigorating to accomplish.

I chose this image because who doesn't love Mr. Darcy? Not only that, but it has to do with his story while also relating to the reading we have to do for class - which I think it quite extensive at times. It's nice to think that there will be a man out there that will love the fact that I love reading more than I probably should! 

3. Looking Forward

My goal for the rest of the semester is to not miss another assignment, while also doing the extra credit to try and make up for those that I missed. I want to step out of my comfort zone and chose readings that I would have probably not chosen if given the choice, and use different writing styles when I chose to rewrite an original tale.
