Week 8 Reading and Writing

I am in the process of making my website for my project look better and I think it will really improve the stories that are posted there.  Over this week, I will be adding an introduction page to add more backstory to the setting of my stories and also explain the inspiration a bit more.

The Ramayana was my favorite epic that I've read so far and it has really influenced the path I am taking for my project.  I will need to further develop my reading notes going forward to help me when I go to write more stories to add to my blog and my project website.  I need to make sure I include some of the smaller details from the readings in my notes, so I can add them here and there in my stories that I write.

Moving forward, I am going to work harder to develop some really great stories to add to my assignments for the course.  I will be doing a lot of the Wiki Trails assignments to help me get more information to add as little details in my stories.  I am excited to see how my website will turn out at the end of this semester.

So, about my major...  I am fascinated by languages and everything about them.   If you are unfamiliar with linguistics, that’s totally fine.  Most people I encounter outside of my major don’t really know what it is either.  Linguistics is a sub-field of anthropology that focuses on language.  I really like the more technical aspects of my major. For example, I really love phonetics, a sub-field of linguistics.  This field foc...

The Banishment

As Prince Zuko entered the grand hall of the palace, the celebrations over took him.  He noticed the relics from the Earth Kingdom that were on display in the center of the room.  Speaking with his uncle, Prince Zuko marveled at the delicate decorations on these artifacts.  He discussed with his uncle how it is almost tragic to take such beautiful pieces of history away from their people, even if taking them was a symbol of his own nation's power.   Prince Zuko's sister, Princess Azula, overheard this conversation and immediately decided to tell their father about what Zuko had said.  Princess Azula has always been incredibly jealous of her brother for no reason other than he was the first born, so he would inherit the title.  Princess Azula knew Zuko's words would cause their father to be angry and outraged at his own son's words.   After telling Firelord Ozai, Azula and Zuko's father, Princess Azula tried very hard to hide a smile from cr...
