For this story laboratory assignment, I have decided to do a little bit of a more research for my storybook this week. While searching for new original stories of Ganesha, there were a lot of great ones that I couldn't decide to chose for my last story for my online storybook. However, there was one Ganesha story that grabbed my attention. It was  Ganesha and Kubera . By keeping it simple, this story is about Ganesha eating dinner at Kubera's house! This story seemed interesting, fun to read to learn more about it. Therefore, I might consider using this story for my storybook! Ganesha eating modaks,  Link Text .

I have chosen to watch one of the TEDed Videos: How Languages Evolve , by Alex Gendler and Does Grammar Matter? by Andreea S. Calude. How Languages evolve , by Alex Gendler, taught me that all of humanity once spoke a single language until they suddenly split into many groups unable to understand each other. We don;t really know if there is such as an original language that existed, but we do know that there are thousands of languages existing as of today that can be traced back to a much smaller number. This may happen due to groups of people that shared a single language and culture split into smaller tribes going in separate ways in search of fresh game and fertile land. Therefore, they became isolated with one another and grew with different interests. Chinese, for example, is classified as a single language. However, its dialects vary to the point of being mutually unintelligible. Therefore, the next time you hear a foreign language, pay close attention because it may not be a...

I have chosen to watch one of the  Ted Talks: Story and Friends called The danger of a single story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Imaginary friends and real-world consequences by OU's own Jennifer Barnes. The danger of a single story  by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was quite fascinating. Chimamanda has always wanted to write imaginary stories when she was little. She believed that books should have foreign in them. She wrote about things that recognize the important for people to realize. She brought up my attention that her roommate from college that Nigeria could speak English as well. She wrote stories about people as cars so that they will never starve. She taught me that her stories can help form herself as a better person. Overall, I realize that it is always important to write about the things you feel that are important for readers to know when it comes to creating your own story.

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 ...
