Storybook Favorites

1. The Brahmazing Race
This storybook is about Brahma, who is the creator of the world. What makes this storybook so interesting is the layout in which the information is shared. The title of the work shares the idea that this storybook will be laid out much the the television program, The Amazing Race. The introduction does a nice job of explaining all the routes in India at which the players will take. It also introduces 4 "racers" and their background and importance within the world. The overall layout of the storybook is very engaging and brings a sense of adventure for the readers who are familiar with the television program the storybook is based on.
2. Epic Festivals of India
This storybook takes you on a tour throughout India and shares all the festivals that make India special. In the introduction, it is shared that there is almost a festival for every day of the year. Learning about some of the popular and special ones is what this storybook explains. I like the overall design of this storybook because it is bright and inviting to get people excited to learn about different festivals in India. Not only are the festivals explained, but also the origin behind the God they are dedicated is told. The images used in the storybook do a good job to show what actually happens during these festivals so readers feel a connection to what they are reading.
3. The Mothers of the Epics
This storybook shares about the mothers from the perspective of the goddess of childbirth, Shashthi. This topic is interesting because people often know about certain heroes but not as often about their origins and their backgrounds. The storybook shares the stories of three mothers each who had a different decision to make. One who had to make a selfish choice, one who obtained sons from gods, and one who had to deal with loss. Overall, I like the topic and main purpose of this storybook. I think this is an interesting route. I would want more pictures in my storybook so the readers can really picture the mothers as they read about them.

Introduction to a future PA

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsey. I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I am originally from the Dallas, TX area much like a big portion of the students here at OU. My major is Health and Exercise Science, pre-PA. I have always been interested in sports and sport related injuries so I plan to become a PA for an orthopedic surgeon. The coolest thing about being a Health and Exercise Science major, or any major that is on a medical track, is that you have to take anatomy here at the university. The really unique thing about OU's anatomy course is that it is with cadaver. While that may freak most people out, the opportunities OU students have with having a cadaver experience really help for later admission into medical and graduate programs. Out of all my classes I have taken so far, that class would have to be the most challenging but also the coolest experience. As I said earlier, I am a big sports girl and root for all the Dallas teams, the Dallas Stars and...

Week 11 Story: The Case of the Missing Slipper

Once upon a time, lived a princess and her prince, on their vast piece of land. With them in their palace, lived hundreds of guards, servants, and courtiers to cater to their every needs. Next to their palace was a preparatory school. Many students would come to the palace to tour and hopefully prepare them for a life like the princess and the princes'. The princess and prince loved having an open landscape so they could get to know the students. On one sunny day, the prince and princess went for a lovely stroll along the pond that resided near the palace. As they were used to students often being around the palace, the princess told her courtiers to make sure her valuables were kept safe. The princess had her favorite pair of slippers that were her most important possession. They were a pair of beautiful pearl white slippers with a single pearl at the tip of the shoe.
