Week 12 Reading Notes | Extra Credit, Faerie Queen - Britomart

Extra Credit Reading Week 12 | Britomart 


How Sir Guyon met a Champion mightier than himself:

Is this Prince Arthur as in the Arthur that later becomes super famous?? Ooooh an enchanted spear! This has to be the Faerie Queen! I'm confused though, is Britomart supernatural or is she human? The Princess of South Wales seems like a fairly human place to live... 

How Britomart Fought with Six Knights:

Florimell must be a faerie queen. Her aesthetic SCREAMS it. When the woodman comes rushing through I really hope someone is going to save her!! I;m very glad when Prince Arthur and Sir Guyon rush forward to help her.  I also love Britomart, who helped the awesome knight! She's such a badass! 

Britomart in Castle Joyous: 

I think this part was a bit boring, but it could be fun to do a narrative of Britomart's thoughts throughout this encounter.

How Britomart Looked into the Magic Mirror:

I think this part would be amazing to rewrite!! Briotomart gets so real and so intense, I'd love to share more insight into her thoughts and feelings and have it be less formal! I also love that this goes into the backstory of the mirror! I was so confused before this but it brings a ton of clarity. 

How Britomart went to the Cave of the Magician Merlin:

This was not a very fun part to read. I just kept losing interest. 

How Britomart Set Forth on her Quest:

This one would also be super fun to re-write.  I think this entire tale would've made an awesome project for the semester, but I didn't discover it in time.  UGH

Introduction to Tricia the Dog-Mom and History Major

My Introduction My name is Tricia and I'm 24 years old.  I'm a senior at OU majoring in History. I hope to one day become a high school Social Studies teacher and dance team coach.  Below you'll find a few more things you may want to know about me!  I'm originally from San Antonio, Texas, but moved to Freeport, Illinois when I was about 5.  I technically lived in Illinois until I left for college at 17, but I spent summers with my grandparents back in Texas.  I'm an only child and when I left for college, my parents high-tailed it right back to Texas and are now settled in Lakeway, Texas, right outside Austin on Lake Travis.   (Texas Flag Photo by  Wikipedia ) I went to Northern Michigan University for 2.5 years before taking a little time off to live in Lakeway with my parents and then I transferred to OU.  At NMU I majored in Political Science and minored in Dance.  I was a competitive dancer for about 10 years and really miss dancing a ton.

Week 7 Story: Alice the Mouse

Image
Alice the Mouse: An Adaptation of Belling the Cat Photo by Flickr Alice nervously ran her paws down her tawny fur.   Her tail flicked agitatedly as she implored Frank for the third time, “Are we absolutely sure nobody else can do this?” Frank huffed as he shut his book and adjusted his glasses to better meet her obsidian eyes.   From his seat in the recliner in their small living room he could see her eyes crinkling with worry and her nose twitching intermittently.   “Did we not decide this was the best course of action?” he replied calmly.   He didn’t want to send Alice into harm’s way, but she was the most dispensable mouse in the nest.   She was too young to begin her work as a master, but too old to remain an apprentice.   It wasn’t his fault that she hadn’t chosen a specialty on time.   “Yes, I understand, but how do we even know this is feasible,” Alice rambled, “I mean, how am I actually supposed to even get that close to the cat? Do I sneak up on it?
