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!

When the world first started, there was no warmth until the Thunder came.  The lands were cold and nights were so dark.  One day, a great storm brought the Thunder and struck a huge tree on an island and filled it with fire.  Smoke rose from the island, so the animals knew it was there, but could not reach it for the water.  They held a council to determine who among them could bring the fire back to them. All of the animals were very eager to volunteer.  It seemed that everyone thought they were more than capable of reaching the island and bringing home the fire. All of the birds were there and the council decided one among them should try first, since they could easily fly over to the island. It was decided that the first to try would be the eagle.  He was a very smart and strong bird, so the council agreed he would surely be able to do it. He was the strongest flier among the birds and unmatched in his hunting skills.  The council thought that i...
