Weekend post april 24_Storytelling/Slideshare

This story is about a girl who leaves from her home state, Jacksonville Florida, where she was raised her whole life. She moves to Georgia and starts a new life but does adjust to the change. She live and was raised by her father, but when he died she was sent to her aunt who dislikes her and blames her for her sisters death.

After reading this story I realize that people are more fortunate than other people. This girl has no mother and no father and is living with an aunt that does not like her. I live with my mom stepfather and grandmother...and have my dad that is miles away. Everyone of my family members love me and care for me. I feel sorry for that girl, then again it is just a story.

Weekend Post 4-16-2010 Wacky Web Tales


New Year's Resolutions

It was New Year's Day, and I was watching Baseball on TV with my friends Briana, Kiara, Marcus, and James.

“Hey, Kiara,” Marcus said, “What is your New Year's resolution?”

“I am going to learn to play the piano,” she said. “Then I am going to play it at nursing homes. I am sure it will make the residents proud.”

“That's cool,” said Briana. “I am going to volunteer in a shelter for homeless dogs and cats. They are so cute. How about you, Marcus?”

“I am going to help out around the house,” he said. “Every night, I will put the plates and the utensials in the dishwasher without being asked.”

“I want to improve my grades,” said James. “I will study math, science, and History every night.”

They all turned to me.

“What is your New Year's Resolution, Athena?”

“I'm not making one,” I said. “I'm perfectly fine already!”

All A Dream

I fell asleep yesterday listening to an old album that my mom had. I really enjoyed it, though I had a weird dream. It was kind of like one of the old songs.
I've been workin' in California,All the Nice day. I've been workin' in California,Just to pass the time away. Don't you hear the whistle playing?Rise up so early in the morn. Don't you hear
Selena Gomaz shouting“Shyanne, play your horn? ”
Shyanne, won't you play your horn?
Someone's in the Living Room with Shyanne. Some one is in the Living Room with Shyanne playing on the old Drums.
It was the weirdest dream I've had in a long time!

Weekend Post of April 3, 2010_ Mythlogy



Myths are things that people people to be true and they are passed down from person to person. Myths also may become as part of a culture. One well known myth is how children are made. Parents may tel their kids that children are bought to them by the stork. Well that is a myth because it isn't true but people believe it to be true.

What is mythology?

The word "myth" comes from the Greek word mythos, which means a spoken or written story. The purpose of a myth is to explain human experience. Many events in a myth are not realistic or based on fact, since the message communicated by the story is more important than telling about an actual event. Because all groups of people have myths, and often myths are associated with religion, the stories have been passed down through the ages to become the basis of a society. A collection of myths is called a "mythology." People study mythology because the stories provide a way of understanding ancient cultures.

Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Aztecs, and Mayas, created myths to explain many aspects of life: how they came into existence as a people; the reasons for good and evil; the seasons; the weather; and the movements of the sun, moon, and stars.

A legend is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants, includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic.
