Reading Notes: Celtic Fairy Tales, Part A

Reading Notes: Celtic Fairy Tales, Part A by Joseph Jacobs

These stories were interesting to me. I did have to look up some of the terms used since I was not familiar with everything that was being talked about in these stories. I liked the story The Sheppard of Myddvai, mainly for the maiden character. She was interesting and I liked how the story ended because of her. I also liked The Sprightly Tailor. It was funny to see the tailor not care at all about the apparition that bugged him the entire time. I then thought something bad would happen to the tailor when the apparition started to chase him, but luckily nothing did. Munachar and Manachar was another story I found to be interesting. I thought Munachar would be stuck in a infinite loop of speaking to animals and things to get what he needed to hang Manachar. Just when it seemed like that had really dragged on for too long, Munachar finally was able to get all the things he needed only to come back and see that Manachar had burst. I assume this happened due to the amount of raspberries Manachar had eaten.

Introduction to a Nerdy Psych Major Hello! My name is Caitlyn Carr. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in MIS and plan to graduate this Fall!

This is all very helpful to me, since I am an introvert with a high amount of anxiety in most cases, especially in social situations. Hobbies As for hobbies, I spend most of my free time playing video games. I have played video games since I was old enough to properly hold a controller and have not stopped since then. It was actually my hobby of gaming that allowed me to make the online friends that I went to RTX with this year. If I was not into games to the degree that I am, I would ...

Week 4 Story: The Boys Who Befriended Frogs NOTE: This story has been added to my portfolio! Please click here for the current version of the story. (Frog: image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images ) This story is a continuation of  The Boys and the Frogs There were frogs who lived in a pond. They had just been scared for their lives due to some boys who had skipped rocks across the pond for fun. The boys finished having their fun skipping stones in the pond. At some point, the boys noticed a few frogs also occupied the same pond where they skipped the stones. They did not think much of it. Surely the frogs would be fine. The boys did not even spare enough attention to the frogs to notice when one of them tried speaking up before the boys. As the boys departed from the pond, the frogs collected themselves from their earlier panic. The oldest frog spoke in a frustrated tone, “If only those boys were more considerate of others around them! We could have died from that!...
