Week 8 Comments and Feedback

-
I think I've received good feedback from other students in the class. My favorite feedback comments are suggestions to fix my mistakes. For example, in one story, I didn't explain why the sloth trusted the tiger in the first place. I didn't explain why because I couldn't think of a reason why, so I decided to skip giving the sloth a reason. One person suggested that I could give the sloth a backstory, I thought this was the most helpful of my comments. Instead of simple pointing out a flaw, they gave me a good idea to fix the problem. I've received a lot of positive feedback, which makes me feel more comfortable about the work I'm posting. Since I find suggestions the most helpful on my blogs, I try to do the same for other students, although sometimes this isn't possible since there are so many great writers in this class! I have many ideas from other students as I read their stories and have even used their style my story telling style. I have a sense of getting to know people through their blogs. I will visit the blogs of other students if I know I enjoy their stories and writing style, too. Looking forward, I want to continue to give good feedback where I can for other students. I'm happy with both my introduction and comment wall for now, too.

Feedback Cat (cheezburger)

I chose this Feedback Cat because the positive feedback from my classmates has been louder than my negative criticisms about my writing in my head. As the semester has progressed, I have less negative thoughts about my assignments and feel more confident about my stories.

The Mahabharata narrates the rivalry between the two groups of cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, whose family drama ensues an all-out war. The Mahabharata all begins with the birth of Vyasa – wait, does it begin there or before him? He’s not even a Pandava or Kaurava, is he? Okay, I’m going to figure out this family tree first.  Mahabharata family tree ( Wikipedia ) We’ll start with Satyavati, who was born from a fish and a king. Making her half-fish and half-woman. So that makes her a mermaid, right? No wait, I think she was a human woman who just smelled like fish. Okay so, she was raised by a fisherman and meets Parashara, a rishi who takes away her fishy smell in exchange for embracing him. This trade left her with a beautiful scent and a son, Vyasa. Next, there is King Shantanu, son of King Kuru. Shantanu’s first wife was the goddess Ganga. Together, they had like seven or eight kids, but she kept throwing them into the Ganges. For obvious reasons, this upse

Introduction to Clara

Hi everyone, my name is Clara Pianalto. I'm a junior and a Biochemistry Pre-med major here at OU. My favorite thing about my major is working in labs, which is funny because this was my least favorite thing about my major for awhile, but over the years I've grown to love the experiments. My friends and I began having so much fun during lab that we would constantly take pictures of our experiments and reactions. A picture of one the reactions from lab.  I originally only chose this major because someone said it will benefit me when taking the MCAT for medical school. Luckily, I realized I genuinely enjoy chemistry and science classes through my major. My long term goal is to get accepted into a medical school and become a doctor. Outside of school, I'm involved in a couple of organizations on campus. I'm a member of Greek life and also involved in Relay for Life, an organization on campus that raises money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. I joined Re
