Story Lab: Crash Course Mythology

I have chosen to read and watch the Crash Course Myth videos. What's so fascinating about this resource is that it pertains a video with words (subtitles) and pictures! I am mostly a visual learner and it helped pertained my knowledge with their facts.

One of the videos have taught me that the word myth can pertain to a lot of things. The word myth use to be the name for a false story, but somehow it ended up as a true mythical story that had been retold from the original fiction story. Overall, myth isn't a story. It's a special story.

Another fun thing about this resource is that there are animated cartoon pictures involved to have a better visual for the audience. One of their episodes have also taught me that the persephone myth explains the seasons like the cycle of planting and harvesting for the actions of the immortals. Overall, lectures and stories that are shown in a video has helped the readers to become more attached. Another episode, Theories of Myth, has taught me that the characters from myths are just versions of the achetypes which can relate stories in many parts of the world.

Crash course is a great resource when it comes to creating your own stories.

I also love to cook and bake and it's funny how my family and friends become so impressed by that. I love to travel, play basketball, and just going out and trying different restaurants like Guy Fieri. My favorite foods are Italian, Thai, and sushi. Recently, I went on a vacation with my family to Cancun and their meals were amazing. The workers there were going nuts by giving away tequila shots on every corner. Last summer, I participated in a study abroad program called Italy 2.0 and I highly recommend it. We studied mostly over the southern coast of Italy l

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, named Bill. Bill and his mom were about to walk into their favorite restaurant at BJ's for dinner. "Mommy, can I get a pizookie?" said Bill. "Not yet sweetie. You have to order and eat actual food first." said the Mom. "Ugh, you're so extra. Okay, Mommy." said the little boy. As they were ordering their meal, a beautiful young waitress approaches. "Hi, my name is Beyonce and I will be your server for this evening. Would you guys like to start off with a drink?" said the waitress. While the Mom was ordering her drink, the little boy was glaring into the waitresses eyes. "Yes please, can I just get a cup of water with lemon?" said the Mom. "Of course." said the Waitress. "And for you, sir?" "Oh I would have a margarita." said Bill. "Honey, you can't have that... I'm sorry, he'll just have a Dr. Pepper." said the Mother
