Topic Brainstorm

I read the story of Melusina, which correlates with mermaids. I really enjoy stories with curses from a wounded character. For example, stories like Medusa and Little Mermaid. This story about Melusina spins a tale of love, loss, broken promises and curses. I think it would be a great story to work with as there are many avenues to take. Also, when looking at mermaid stories, there were some darker avenues, like water demons that would be interesting to look into. I think mermaids are fascinating mythical creatures and would be interested in researching more lore about them.

Demigod Daycare

Nine Muses

I do not know much about demigods or greek mythology. This story about the young demigods and goddesses is the perfect way to enter into this world. I like that the author introduced all of the characters through the muses that arrived to tell the stories. I think this is a great way to begin a story and is a possible idea for me to get started on story telling.

Titans

Titans

I am very curious about Titans. The only representation of them I really know is from the Disney movie Hercules and Clash of the Titans. I only see them as giant, monstrous things, but when I look up any information about them they do not look like that at all. I would like to go more in depth with their story. I want to know how they came about, and where did they come from? I have many questions and it would be fun to do so by creating a story for them.

Beowulf

Beowulf

I have only read one story from Beowulf I can vaguely remember the tale. Our teacher gave us Beowulf to read and all I remember is that I really liked the story and wanted to try watching the movie, alas, my peers said the movie was not worth watching. However, I am very interested in diving into more stories about Beowulf and researching about him. I think Beowulf would be a great topic for my story telling.

Introduction to the plant fiend

Image of myself My name is Lindsi Unsell. I am a senior at The University of Oklahoma and I am studying Communications. All of my Communication classes have been so interesting and relevant to everyday life. I have actually noticed myself become a better communicator and have been more aware of how others communicate around me. As a senior, I am both excited and nervous to have such limited time in school left. I feel so happy that I have come this far successfully and I can see the light at the end of this stressful yet rewarding tunnel. I also work at The Oklahoma Daily as a copy editor and hope to try my hand at some writing for the newspaper this final semester. The Daily has been one of the most rewarding things I have done at OU. I have met a niche group of people that help me connect with others outside of school that I may not have gotten the chance to meet otherwise. I love being a part of the school newspaper because I feel so much more aware of events going on locall...

Week 9 Story: The Shark and the Seal

Bibliography: This story is originally written by A. L. Shelton as The Tiger and the Frog Seal escaping jaws of shark There was once a very old shark that was making its way to the reef to fill its stomach. The shark had not eaten in a couple of days and felt very weak indeed. As the shark was gliding through the sparkling blue waters a baby seal up ahead saw him and became very frightened. The seal quickly came up with a plan as the shark drew near. The shark was about to pass by when the seal squeaked, "what are you up to?" The shark slowly turned around and said, "I am in search for food. I have not eaten in two days and I feel very weak. You would be a good meal but you are very small." The seal made sure to puff out its chest when it said, "I am the king of seals. I am strong. To test this lets see who can make it across that trench the quickest." The shark accepted this trial and made to burst off across the the trench. Before the shark sped ...
