Cat Wondering Where to Go Next. Read The Blog here . I chose this can as my next meme because it can speak to so  many different situations. It could be what location do I  want to go next or maybe perhaps where in life do I  want to go next. Do I want to be a collage graduate or maybe a father. Where should I go next? What is my next destinations or maybe I can create a map and follow it to my final destination. Curiosity Growth Mindset Cats. Read the Blog here . I chose this cat meme as my first because it speaks to me as  a researcher. In my past I have done some research for medical  research. To me, to be successful in that field one must always Be curious about something they want to better in order to make new discoveries. 

Watch out for the little guy I chose to do an extra credit reading from the Native American Great Planes chapter. I chose the story of the snake and the coyote. This story has a very meaningful message to me as well as things in it that I have been wondering about. So the story is about a coyote who roams the fields and roads days in and out and had started to hear a vive that was pleading for him to watch where he walked. The coyote could not figure out where the noise was coming till one day he looked down and saw a snake. The snake pleaded once more saying if you do not walk around me I will be forced to have to kill you. The coyote was so full of himself and said how could a snake kill me ?! So, the coyote stepped on him one last time and at that moment the snake bit and killed the coyote. To me this story has a big meaning behind it that many may not understand. Sometimes in life the little guy gets looked over many times. They are passed by without a notice. Finally one day a...

Ghost doing ghost things I found it odd that a ghost had to swim across the water. In most other cases I have seen ghosts with water they could just hover above the water. I have never seen a wet ghost before. This would have changed the whole story because then the man would not be able to say he was a ghost because he would be swimming while the ghost just going about over the water. I also found it strange, not that the ghost played tricks on the village people, but that he would steal the kings son's soul for no reason. Too add to that why would he just leave it with the man while he went on to do other things. I would think that if he had no use for it he wouldn't have played such a harmful trick on the boy, meaning that without his soul he would die. Finally the man must have been very careful and sly to not alert anyone that he had the soul of the boy. Although he healed the boy one would think that the king's men would become suspicious of a strange man comin...

Sad wizard after he had his possessions stole I was enjoying the stories of the Tibetan folklore so much that I decided to keep reading into part B for my second reading of the week. I decided to do my second round of notes on the story "How the Wolf, Fox, and Rabbit Committed a Crime". I was very interested in this story just by reading the title because the characters are all well-known tricksters found in different lore around the world. For my story book I decided to do a compiling of stories from different native American tricksters to be able to mix three different ones together into a cohesive story. So, as one can see I would be very intrigued by this title and story. I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the start of the story, already stating that the three are all friends and willing to work together. This is usually not the case however so it would be worthwhile to spend a little time to go into detail about how the three became friends or why they were all...

Clip art of the Ghost I chose the Tibetan folklore chapter as my main focus because I have done research in the past over the Tibetan plateau and the Tibetan people and thought that reading these stories may give me even more insight into their culture and society. While reading the collection of part A I found that the story "The Man and the Ghost" had many particular parts within it. First off to start the story the man was just walking through the narrow mountain path and we were not informed as too why he would have been traveling through there as well as the ghost just happening to be traveling through the wilderness. Was the ghost a ghost of the wood or one that had been of a man that had died in the mountain? Next I found it odd that a ghost had to swim across the water. In most other cases I have seen ghosts with water they could just hover above the water. I have never seen a wet ghost before. This would have changed the whole story because then the man would not...
