Storybook Plan: Beowulf

For my storybook I would like to narrate a few of Beowulf's adventures. To begin I will introduce Beowulf and tell readers a little bit about his history, then I will segue into his adventures. From reading a few of Beowulf's stories I think I will keep them separate like an anthology. I think the main thing to learn from Beowulf would be his bravery and willingness to overcome obstacles that seem too overwhelming. Even in the darkest moments he finds a way. I think that is what has drawn me to Beowulf so deeply. He never gives up.

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 7 Story: Grotto of Lust

Author's note: This story was originally told as the Grotto of Love. In this story was a man that became bored and resorted to other pleasures. These pleasures were among the sea with a siren. I will keep with the same story but change the ending and the character names and a few traits. Grotto of Lust Leorio, as with many who are given too much in life, was dissatisfied. Leorio had the most beautiful and loyal wife, Setsu, but he tired of her constant presence. In his boredom he began to think of a siren he once saw, but could not catch. She had a voice that could make tears prick your eyes and a beauty that surpassed anyone Leorio had ever set his eyes upon. He sat and thought about the way she sang and played her lute effortlessly. It all became a dizzying daydream and he could not bare the thoughts any longer. He left his wife without a thought and made his way to the emerald sea where she lived. Once his feet sunk into the sand and he breathed in the salty air he b
