Storybook Favorites

Norman Mythology: The first story that I read was a modern tale of the Trojan War. The beautiful OU cheerleader: Harlee, represented Zeus' daughter Helen, who started the Trojan War because of love. In the story, the all mighty Lincoln Riley represents Zeus, because of the power that they both hold. The other characters in the story represent Greek gods and goddesses. The title was captivating and intriguing, as well as did a great job of giving a hint of what the story was about. The intro was a great peek into the rest of the storybook, introducing main characters, and pulling in anybody who enjoys OU football. The layout was very clean, and the author did a great job choosing pictures of the OU football players, as well as Greek gods and goddesses to pull the entire story together. 


Jovi: The Dog of All Dogs: This story is on the sweeter side, about a cheerful pup named after John Bon Jovi. The introduction does a great job telling of Jovi's personality, introducing him and his many stories. Jovi's "Herculean efforts" to be the greatest dog ever are intriguing, and make me want to read more of this fascinating dog's tales. The title does a great job captivating what this storybook is about: the many tales of Jovi. Each Jovi tale is slightly different, but all tell about his spunky personality. The pictures of the sweet pup are the perfect touch to the stories.


Waffle House: Creating Magic in Ancient Egypt: This is a fun story about the popular and infamous restaurant: Waffle House. This is such a fun story, about a time capsule to the past to try the "first" Waffle House in ancient Egypt. The intro sets the story, and presents questions that will be later answered in other stories in the storybook. This is a great hook, pulling the audience in and making them want to continue reading on. The pictures were great, especially the first one of the Waffle House in front of the pyramids. I could tell by the title, intro, pictures, and all together mash-up, that this would be a really fun story.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 3 Story: The Creation of Fluffy and Roxy

When God created the heavens and the earth, he realized there was something important missing- inhabitants.  When God thought of all of the different creatures he could create to inhabit his beautiful creation, he decided he needed something lovable, that would appreciate all that he had done. What did he decide on you may ask? First- a fluffy puppy. God created this lovable, cheerful creature from the dirt, and he was very happy with his decision. God named this fluffy puppy what you can imagine: Fluffy. Soon enough, Fluffy became lonely, and bored with no other creatures to play with. God decided to create another being, this time from Fluffy himself. By taking one of sweet Fluffy's ribs, God created Roxy: a loving companion for Fluffy. God decided on the rib, after thoughts of many different options during creation. Why not the mouth? Some might ask. Because if created from the mouth, Roxy would spend her life barking at everything. Why not the paw? Because Roxy would spend her ...
