Week 8 Comments and Feedback

comments I have recieved have been kind and often helpful. I like reading what other students have felt about my stories. I also love to see people responding to my introduction and enjoying the pictures of my dogs. Many student have left very helpful feedback that encourages me to expand on my stories.

Sometimes I feel my feedback is useless. I often tell students how I enjoyed their stories and what I had hoped to see more of. Sometimes it’s hard to critically analyze ofher students work and to point them in a direction they may be respondsnt to.

I really enjoy reading other blogs, specifically introductions. I have seen some cool storybooks and some good stories in other student’s portfolios that encourage me to try harder in this course, I just often don’t have the time to fine tune and polish all of my posts. I do think every blog has a personality, just as mine reflects the simplicity I like in my life.

I think I should actually enact some of the advice I’ve been give on my portfolio stories, it’s helpful to see where people wanted to see the story grow, so maybe focusing on that in the future on top of revisions would be great. I like both my comment wall and my introduction, so I will leave them as they are!

Introduction to a Horror Movie Lover

Hello everyone, my name is Callie Simonton. I'm a Film and Media studies major currently in my final semester at the University of Oklahoma. I love movies, specifically horror movies. That's a strange niche I know, who in their right mind would choose that genre over the rest? Maybe it's due to the fact that I grew up with them and find even the low budget and cult movies to be an enjoyable experience. Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 12 Story: The Wise Mantis

There was a wise yet strange mantis who lived very lonesomely in an orchid plat near the base of a tree. His neighbors, bless him, were a colony of carpenter ants who lived inside the base of the tree. The mantis was an outcast, he was small and couldn’t even fend for himself when he was put up against other mantises. It was hard for him to find food, in fact, even with food right at his doorstep he was wise to know not to play around with a colony of ants, especially ones with big chommpers and a reputation for getting angry. But, being wise, mantis hatched a plan. He froze, unnmoving, like a stick, right outside the openings of the colony’s empire. He observed, and watched as they worked all day into the night...until work stopped. See, in first hour of darkness the ants would stop working, and exactly a minute before nine, the last ants would arrive one by one with their catch of food for the day. The mantis knew this was his chance to strike, his chance at survival. So the mant...
