Week 8 Comments and Feedback

       I believe the comments I receive from other students is overall very helpful. Personally, one of my favorite things about this class is to read other students' opinions on what I have written and getting to hear what suggestions they have. The comments I am finding to be most useful are those that give me a different perspective of my stories. Not everyone reads my story like I do so it is nice4 to receive comments that represent different point of views. Although reading comments happens to be one of my favorite things, giving comments is my least enjoyable. I have found that taking notes on other students' stories helps me write comments. I do feel like I have been able to get to know the other students through their writing. I am starting to recognize names because there have been stories that stand out and I am able to connect those to their author.

      My favorite "Feedback Cat" is the last one that states, "Feedback helps you know...how  far you can go". I chose this one, not only because it is a cute cat, but because it also has a good message. Feedback from an outside perspective is helpful in expanding horizons and taking risks with writing.

My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town. It took a lot of humbling myself to finally admit I needed to make a change

Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar. Tucked away in a corner, was a plethora of gold bars. The girls had never laid their eyes on anything as precious and valuable as this. They were overcome with mixed emotions as they pondered what to do. Sarah thought they should leave it alone as the mother might notice they were gone, but Tara sugge
