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 15 Story: The King and His Queen/ Daughter

 Once upon a time, a King lived with his beautiful queen. Not only was she the most beautiful woman in all of the land, but she had the prettiest long, golden hair. Sadly, the queen was ill and was about to die. Before she died she begged her husband, "if you marry again, don't marry anybody as beautiful as me, and nobody with beautiful golden hair like mine." The King promised her this, right before she died. The King was devastated by the loss of the queen, and could not even think about remarrying. But, his councillors told him he would have to marry again so they could have a queen. They told him that he would have to start looking, because it wasn't right without a queen on the throne. He sent his servants all over the world to try to find a woman that was even half as beautiful as his late wife. But sadly, nobody could find a woman like her. Even the prettiest ones they could find did not have the long, golden hair like the queen. All of the servants came home o...

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 ...
