Interesting Assignments

After reading through the list of assignments and extra credit options for the class, I can already tell that I am going to really enjoy this class.  I love that we can kind of pick and choose what we want to do each week by mixing extra credit and regular assignments.  I also am super excited that we have the option to work ahead and finish early.  We can also finish even earlier by doing extra credit and this is blowing my mind.  I have been really stressed about the amount of work I have this semester, so having a course that will not only be fun and engaging, but will also have the option of finishing early and leaving me time to focus on harder projects in my other courses at the end of the semester.

Image
An updated version of this story can be found here at my site: Finding Mythology Image: The Golden Girl Amaterasu, the Sun-Goddess, was cherished by everyone. She was the most beautiful goddess and definitely the brightest. One day, she was sitting at the loom of the world, weaving in different pieces of life. She weaved into the pattern patches of joy and love with dismay and slaughter. Her loom was filled with all the parts of life. Suddenly, the demon of fire, Susa-no-wo came down from the peak. He came with wrath and malice, tearing in from the void. Amaterasu was frightened by her brother’s sudden presence and feared his power. She fled to the shadows of night in a cave to hide from the wrath of her brother and would refused to return to the heavens. All the people mourned the disappearance of their beautiful goddess. Their bright star was gone and so the people begged and cried for her return. But, she would not leave her cave and the people became even more upset
