Review Week 15


Quote from Neil Gaiman
The graphic that caught my eye from this past week was this quote from Neil Gaiman.  I have been so engrossed in his book Norse Mythology and seeing a quote from him in the announcements got me excited. It is an awesome quote, too.  Imagination is so incredibly important.

I really loved this video What Makes A Hero? from Matthew Winkler.  It would have been awesome if I had found this earlier in the semester to help write my stories, but I guess I will just have to continue writing for fun!

In a small little cottage on the edge of town lived an old couple.   They lived together peacefully, but they couldn’t be more different.   The old man was kind and gentle natured, while his wife was hot headed, greedy, quarreled with anyone that passed, and loved to spread vicious gossip.   One day, the old man was sweeping his front porch and enjoying the spring air when a small bird landed fell out of a tree and landed in his yard.   Startled, the old man ran to the little bird and found it hopping in the yard with an injured wing.   The old man gently picked up the little bird and inspected the wing.   The little bird nestled into his hand and chirped happily at him.   The man carried the little bird in the house and mended the hurt wing.   He then put the little bird in a cage to protect the little one while the wing healed. The little bird began to enjoy staying with the man and stayed even after the wing healed.   The...
