I chose this image because reading the story of the tar baby in dialect was a fun experience for me, and it reminds me of my childhood because Splash Mountain in Disney World is themed after the Brer Rabbit stories.
Overall, I have been really pleased with the course and its structure. The reading and writing assignments are engaging and fun, so it's not really a hassle to complete them at all. My blog website got some reorganization and a color scheme change, so hopefully that has spiced it up and easier and more enjoyable to read. My storybook project site feels exactly the way I want it to, with my story being based on the Divine Comedy, so I'm happy with that as well. I think my biggest writing accomplishment in this class has been writing my Brother Rabbit story because I got to change the ending, dialect used, and characterizations of people in order to craft a new story that bears a striking resemblance to the original, while being its own new thing. I still think that my favorite reading so far has been The Odyssey because of its classic status in literature and how it got me into reading mythology and folklore as a younger kid, and a big reason why I took this class! Looking forward, I would just like to continue to try to spend an adequate amount of time on the reading and writing so that I get the out of each assignment.
