Topic Research: Greek Mythology

I have decided to research Greek Mythology, and begin with stories within that topic. As pointed out to me on the last assignment, this topic has tons and tons of story ideas for me to research and learn about. I also think this topic would be really fun to make into my own stories as well.

Story idea 1: Poseidon- Poseidon is Olympian god of the sea, earthquakes, floods, drought and horses. Poseidon also holds his famous trident, or three prong fishing spear. Poseidon is strong and powerful. I would like to do a story depicting him as a princess, instead of his "king" like character. She could be sweet, and dainty instead of powerful and strong. Instead of a trident, the main character could have a magical wand.

Story Idea 2: Aergia- This God is described as "the female version of a sloth". This God was lazy, slow and idle. I think a fun story idea would be to depict her as an actual sloth. She could be in the rainforest, climbing slowly through the trees.

Story Idea 3: Hades- The God of the underworld and the dead. Hades was a very dark God, almost evil. I think it would be awesome to depict Hades as a zombie. He would be the "head zombie" in the underworld full of zombies.

Inspiration for story on Aergia.

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 11 Story: The Evil Fish

The Evil Fish. Once upon a time, 12 little fish lived in a big giant pond. These fish were very very small, smaller than most perch or bait fish. The fish were all very timid, and scared of the big pond. The big pond was also a family member of theirs: their grandmother. But, the grandmother pond was not only inhabited by the 12 little fish. She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12. The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them. She knew this would not be an easy task, as the garfish were surprisingly clever. But, she loved her grand-fish, and would do anything to help them. She racked her brain for an idea to outsmart the garfish, and save her baby fish, and finally came up with one. She called upon the clouds above her,...
