Week 8 Comments and Feedback

1. I have found the comments from my teacher and classmates to be fundamental when tweaking a story or blog post. My favorite comments that I have considered the most useful are from people who have suggested that I showcase a deeper aspect of my characters. Such as allowing them to express more emotion and how they feel about their situations so as to let a reader in.

2. I think I have given fair feedback when it comes to tweaking other people's blogs and stories. However, I have a hard time giving my full range of thought as being in both classes presses me on time.

3. When I read other blogs and stories, I do get some sense of what the authors are about. Obviously, I can't discern a person's core traits from reading their stories alone, but I get a feel for their creative vibes and imagination. Those things say more about people then we realize.

4. I don't think there are any significant changes to be made moving forward. Everything is in place and working wonderfully.

My brother and I are practically  opposites. He's spazzy and extroverted while I'm calm, cool-headed and more introverted. He likes  cool colors like blue and purple while I tend towards warm colors like red and orange. Even our  majors are quite different. He's in pre-dentistry and I'm a philosophy major.          ...

Week 2 Story: "The Buddha: Teacher of Gods and Men"

Image
The Buddha: Teacher of Gods and Men Statue of Gautama Buddha      As was customary for Siddhartha, he headed back to his sleeping quarters by dusk to rest from a  long and tedious day of leading and mingling with his multitude of disciples. He would rest for only a  couple hours. Then, when all of his disciples were asleep, and surely nobody would disturb him, the  gods would descend and manifest in young Siddhartha's quarters.       The gods would come to this youthful and humble man to be his Heavenly disciples just like those  who were sleeping were Siddhartha's Earthly disciples. You see, the Buddha was a teacher of both  gods and men. Different divinities came and went on different nights. Sometimes the whole pantheon  squeezed in with Siddhartha, while other nights, one lonesome deity would come for his/her  own individual purpose. Tonight, it was Sakra, ruler of the gods...
