Reading Notes Part 2 "A Mad Tea Party"

There was a small table sitting out in front of a small house. At the table, there were a few figures sitting down, some of which Alice knew and some of which she did not. There were three in total, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse. The Dormouse sat between the two fast asleep. Alice thought to herself, "Those two are using the Dormouse as a cushion, he must be very uncomfortable." Then she realized he was sleeping so he must not be bothered much by it at all.

The Hare and the Hatter were arguing with each other, they kept exclaiming that there was no room. Then when they saw Alice coming they started to exclaim that there was plenty of room. Alice sat down in a chair at the head of the table when the Hare asked her "Would you like some wine?" Alice looked around the table and saw nothing but tea. She told the Hare that it was quite rude for someone to offer wine when there was none there. He retaliated by saying that it was quite rude for someone to sit at a table they were not invited too. Alice ended the quarrel by saying "I didn't know it was your table."

The Hatter decided to speak at this time, he told Alice "Your hair wants cutting." Alice told him that it was quite rude to make those remarks. He came back with a question, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Alice had no clue but she was happy to ponder the riddle. The rest of the tea party was just mad gibberish over a pocket watch. Alice tried her best to follow along but these two people were almost speaking a different language. She finally piped up and said, "I don't think I understand any of you."

Introduction Post

Sooner Schooner taking a ride on Owen Field Link Hello class, this is my formal introduction post to tell you more about me. I guess we should start off with the basics, my name is Ryan Ard, I am a junior here at OU, and my major is Public Relations. One of my favorite things to do is to be an active Oklahoma RUF/NEK member. Through the Oklahoma RUF/NEKS I care for the school's official mascot the Sooner Schooner as well as care for and maintain Boomer and Sooner, OU's two white welsh ponies. When people ask me if I have hobbies I usually can't think of any on the spot because I am always busy fulfilling responsibilities with the club or planning for future events with the club. I guess some would say that my membership in this club has consumed my life but I think the contrary is true. This club has opened up so many opportunities for me and without my membership, I wouldn't be involved with many of the opportunities I have had. Through this orga...

Reading Notes Part B "Deaths Messengers"

Deaths Messengers One day a giant was walking along a highway when a man jumped out at him and told him to stop. The man said, "I am death, you have to listen to me." The giant denied him and told death to move out of the way. They disagreed and began to wrestle. It was a long and tough battle but the giant gained the upper hand. He defeated death and left him on the side of the road. Death laid on the road concerned with what the world would look like without him. He was concerned for the people who wouldn't die in his absence. The world would be full of people and nobody would be able to move. Then a young man walked up out of nowhere and started to assist death without knowing who he was. He let death drink from his canteen and he nursed him back to health. Death finally was able to speak to him when he said," I am death and I am extremely grateful for your help. Because of this, I promise to not kill you without warning. When your time comes I will send ...

Week 7 Story "The Boiled Bat"

Bush Rat One day the Bat and the Bush Rat were eating together in a field. They both made soup at their homes and brought it to eat with each other. The Rat asked if he could try the Bats soup and he did. The Rat exclaimed, "Wow! this soup is so good, it tastes so sweet and savory." The Rat asked the bat how in the world he made his soup so good. The Bat, knowing he could pull one over the rat, exclaimed, "You see Rat, I simply boil myself in the broth of the soup before I make it. My flesh sweetens it up." The Rat replied, "Wow, how interesting. That is something I will have to try." They both parted ways and went home. On the way home the Rat became upset. You see the rat had already asked the Bats wife how the soup was made but he had forgotten. So when he asked the bat for the recipe so he could remember and he replied with boiling himself in the broth the Rat knew he was lying. He knew that he couldn't forget something that outrageous.
