Review

Cat from Canvas
For the last week of the year and the last 30 minutes of this class, I thought it best for me to do a backup and review assignment. The first part of this assignment is to find an image from the announcement page and talk about it. This image of this cat was the image for this week and it is almost funny how fitting it is. I struggle with procrastination often and this class has gotten the brunt end of that. Due to this, I have had to grind these past few weeks to get the grade I wanted in this class. This cat telling itself "I can do it. I will do it!" has been my motto with this class and this semester overall. I have taken a few hits but I have made it through with hard work and determination.


For the video option, I chose to watch the crash course video on Ragnarok. Being that the only information I know about this end of the world scenario is from the Marvel movie of the same name I thought it best to educate myself a little further. One thing that I found very interesting in this story is how evil Loki actually is. He is the god of mischief but after the host of the show listed off all of the things he did I could have never imagined how long the list would go on. Also, the Norse gods were very cruel when punishing Loki, they killed his son, tied him up with the remains and then sat him under poison snakes venom for eternity. This event was definitely not in the movie. I think it is really interesting how much more to the story there is than what is shown in the movie. I also was unaware that there were crash course videos on mythology, that is something I will have to check out in the future!

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 ...

Reading Notes "The Stone Ape"

The Stone Ape and the Waterfall Once there was a large stone at the top of a massive mountain. This stone was special and it could absorb all of the energy from the heavens and the earth. This supernatural stone was magnificent and everyone who viewed it was in awe. One day, the stone had finally taken in so much energy that it couldn't take any more. The stone burst into pieces and out of the explosion of rock came an egg. This egg was made of stone as well and once the egg was ready it hatched just like the stone before it had. But this time a special creature came out of it, an ape made completely of stone came from the egg. This ape grew and learned like any other ape of its kind. He learned to stumble then walk just like any other ape. One day, something peculiar happened. Two golden streams of light burst from his eyes and then shot to the heavens, it startled the gods at the time and they went to investigate. They found the stone ape and even though they were surpris...
