Storybook Plan

Storybook Plan

The main theme I would like to explore in my storybook is elephants. As of now, I am thinking there there will be an overarching story that connects the stories together, but I am still not set in stone on that yet. I would like to give readers a fun read about elephants, while also presenting them as gentle giants. For creatures so big, they are capable of strong bonds and gentle demeanor. I want to portray the elephant as a sensitive, understanding being instead of the huge, inconsiderate, clumsy one that I have read in many folklore stories. 

Three possible stories that I have researched before and really liked are listed below. Some of these stories displays the elephant as a source of trouble-making and I would want to change that narrative so elephants are displayed in a better light. 

Story 1: The Elephant has a Bet with the Tiger
Story 2: Hare and the Elephants
Story 3: Why the Elephant has Small Eyes

This semester I am excited for my classes, but anxious about how they will turn out with all of them online. However, it is important to be flexible, especially in a pandemic, so I am hoping to make the most of it! Besides academics, I love playing volleyball and doing other activities with my friends. My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to

Week 9 Story: Finding Freedom

Finding Freedom An orphan from birth, Kang always felt like an outcast in his African village. He had no last name, and therefore no title. No girls wanted to marry him and no men wanted to be associated with him. Although he remained polite and respectful to everyone he met, he could feel his resentment towards the village people grow the more they neglected him. As he grew older, he began to have thoughts of leaving his village. A new life surrounded by all new people became more appealing as the days passed by. However, they were the only village within miles of any other human civilization, and in order to go to a new village he would need to venture days through the wilderness. He finally worked up enough nerve and left in the morning.  Running away from the village- he never felt more free. It was as if he could run for hours without any pains or fears. Nightfall came and he found a large rock which to sleep by. He fell asleep peacefully but awoke to the sound of a lioness's
