Week 8 Comments and Feedback


The comments that I have been receiving from the class are not only very welcome, but they are completely framed in such a positive way! I never really thought that comments would be helpful for any of our learning experiences within this class, but I was very wrong. The comments have helped shaped my writing, from expressions of how they liked how much detail I threw into a story, to feedback about some of the “blanker” aspects of my writing (aka the mystery behind some of it), and finally the positive comments that relate their lives to what my life is right now! On top of this, I really like getting to know the class – you don’t really get to do that in most college classes at OU, so having commenting be required really helps the class grow closer together. Hearing about where people are from, what their interests are, and the many different majors that are in this class makes it a very diverse and enlightening group of people to comment with each other. The stories that I’ve been reading and the comments underneath them have been just as positive – I haven’t seen any negative comments, only some small criticisms (that are framed in a positive light) in order to make others in the class better writers. People focus on the strong points of the writing, which I think helps encourage the writer (including me) and point out to them exactly what they are good at within story telling. I’m 100% for the comments now and I am so glad that I’ve been able to receive such good advice/compliments.

Introduction to Andrew

Hi! My name is Andrew Barton and I am currently a senior here at OU. My major is pre-medicine/biochemistry, so obviously this class is a little out of range from what I normally am taking during the semester. Right now, being a senior, I am applying to medical school. This is definitely not an easy process, but I am almost done with the application aspects of it. If I had to choose as to what medical school I could attend, it would be OU, since this is my home and I would be absolutely privileged to serve the community, especially where help is needed most. This summer, I went on one vacation to Seacrest Beach in Florida. For the remainder of the summer, I took Quantitative Analysis here at OU. The class wasn’t too terrible – the only “bad” part of the class was that lab was four times a week from 10:30-1:20. Other than those two things, my summer was pretty relaxing. I’m involved in a few student-led organizations at OU, with the primary one being Soonerthon. I have served o

Week 3 Story: Justice

Image
Walking up to the gleaming Palace of Three, Armistice could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. No one was allowed past the white gate – what his grandfather had told him of his parentage must have been true. Armistice had a normal childhood, at least by mid-world’s standards. 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
