Week 2 Reading Overview

Choose from CLASSICAL and/or BIBLICAL units for Weeks 3 and 4.
Week 3: Ovid's Metamorphoses 
Week 4: Homer's Odyssey
Choose from MIDDLE EASTERN and/or INDIAN units for Weeks 5 and 6.
Week 5: Ancient Egypt
Week 6: Arabian Nights
Choose from ASIAN and/or AFRICAN units for Weeks 7 and 9. [Week 8 is review week.]
Week 7: Lang 
Week 9: China
Choose from NATIVE AMERICAN units for Weeks 10 and 11.
Week 10: Apache 
Week 11: Cherokee
Choose from BRITISH and/or CELTIC units for Weeks 12 and 13.
Week 12: Beowulf 
Week 13: Aesop's Fables
Choose from EUROPEAN units for Weeks 14 and 15.
Week 14: Crane 
Week 15: Hunt

Overall, each of the units that I put down I have some interest in. However, within the ones that I picked, I have special interest in the Asian and European Units. The Brother's Grimm stories are highly interesting to me since their original forms of the stories we know/love today are much darker. Middle Eastern and Native American stories are the ones that I have heard the least of, so they should be fun to read through.

I’m involved in a few student-led organizations at OU, with the primary one being Soonerthon. I have served o

Living within the country had taught him the true value of things: justice, vengeance, and power – in this order, specifically, he was told how to rise up in the world, to be a representative of the place where he came from. He didn’t want to disappoint his teachers. That’s why he walked past the gate, why he was told of his relation to one of the three. Armistice didn’t simply want power to control his own fate, he wanted to control the fates of everyone around him – no one could get in his way. He was in front of the large marble door now – he could see the engravings of past revolts, with Vengeance coming down upon the masses with her fiery whip. Next to these revolts was Power, the weak
