Reading Diary B: Week 4

I am reading the Ancient Egypt unit.

The Two Brothers Part 1:

• Anpu (older brother) and Bata (younger brother)
• Anpu had wife and house, Bata lived with him like a son.
• Bata drove oxen to field, did harvesting, and could speak with oxen.
• They were sewing fields and Bata went to get seed. Anpu's wife was in the house and lusted after him. He then denied her and left saying he wouldn't say word of it to anyone.
• She then faked a rape and Anpu wanted to kill Bata, and Anpu was waiting with a knife behind a door in the barn.

Part 2:

• Luckily he could speak to the oxen and they warned him. 
• He was running while being chased and Ra put a river between them full of crocodiles.
• Bata left and Anpu killed his wife.
• Ra made Bata a wife when he moved to the valley of the acacia. She was extremely beautiful.
• Part of Bata's soul was in the top of an acacia tree in the valley.

Part 3:

• A lock of the wife's hair made its way to the king of Egypt.
• He took the wife and she told him of Bata's secret.
• They then cut down the tree and Bata died.
• Apnea found him dead and searched for the flowering acacia that could bring Bata back to life.
• He found a seed with his should and Bata cam back to life.

Part 4:

• Bata turned into a bull, Anpu rode on his back, and they went to see the king of Egypt.
• He was taken as a gift and became the sacred bull. He then spoke to the wife when he was alone with her and this scared her to death. 
• She then asked the king to eat the bull's liver and they killed the bull, but where his blood fell rose two Persea trees.
• She wanted the tree cut down and when they did a wood chip fell in her mouth. She then became pregnant with a son.
• Bata was that son and when he became king they sentenced the queen for her crimes.
• Anpu was appointed as royal heir and became king when Bata died 30 years later.

The Book of Thoth Part 1:

• King Nefer-ka-ptah loved to read ancient records and one day a priest told him of a book written by Thoth containing all magic in the world.
• He was told it was in an iron box at Kaptos in the middle of a river. However, it was surrounded by snakes, scorpions, and a snake no man can kill. 
• The king then let him take a royal barge with his wife (Ahura) and son (Merab).

Part 2:

• He found the box and saw it was guarded by the creatures.

(Anaconda by Alejandro Arteaga)

• He used a spell to paralyze all the creatures, but the invincible snake. He cut off its head, but it always reattached. He put sand on its neck after cutting it off and it wasn't able to reconnect.
• He found the book and both he and his wife read it and gained magical powers.
• He wrote all the spells on papyrus, rinsed it in his beer, drank the beer, and knew all the spells.

Part 3:

• Thoth was mad that his book was stolen and Ra told him to do whatever he wanted to punish Nefer-ka-ptah.
• Thoth caused his son and wife to drown on the way back to their home. He then caused Nefer-ka-ptah to drown himself, but he tied the book to himself.
• Funny thing was that he was buried with the book that he wanted so dearly.

Reading Diary A: Week 4

For this week I read from the Ancient Egyptian Myths and Stories section.

Creation:

• The world was a waste of water, called Nu who was the father or Ra.
• Ra was the sun god who came to the water as a shining egg. Ra was greater than Nu.
• Ra created Shu (the wind god), Tevnut (the rain goddess), Seb (the earth god), Nut (the goddess of the firmament) who became parents of Osiris and Isis.
• Ra made the heavens and earth rise out of the water. All his thoughts became real and he created all things. Ra was the first king upon earth.

(Ra fighting Apep)

The Secret Name of Ra:

• Ra had many unknown names, but one secret name gave him his divine power.
• Isis sought to be amidst the mighty gods and wanted to be equal to Ra.
• Isis took Ra's saliva and made it into a serpent that was invisible to gods and men.
• It bit Ra and he had his children brought to him. 
• Isis convinced him that only the power of his name could save him and he gave it to her. Ra lived and was no longer in pain.

Ra and Hather:

• People were talking bad about Ra as he aged and were planning to kill him.
• Ra assembled the gods to talk about mankind's punishment.
• They told him to let his eye go forth and it did as Hather and she killed many people. 
• Ra felt bad and stopped Hather, but then he decided he was too old for ruling the earth. Nut turned into a cow and carried him away.

The Sun's Journey:

• Ra made a home in the heavens. He told Seb (earth god) to find out why reptiles hated him.

• His brother (Set) was jealous and wanted to kill him. 

The Death of Osiris:

• Set brought a chest that was measured perfectly to fit Osiris and all men tried it out.
• Osiris then tried and fit perfectly, but the coffin was sealed and thrown in the Nile.
• Set took control, Isis searched for Osiris' body and was a fugitive.
• Isis was protected by seven scorpions and was guided by Anubis.
• Woman denied Isis, scorpion killed her child, but she revived her child and the woman was grateful.

The Journey of Isis:

• Isis birthed Horus who Set wanted to kill.
• Isis travelled to Byblos to find Osiris' body and found his chest.

• Thoth came from heaven and healed both. Then Set appeared before the divine council and they placed Horus as king.

• It's also said that she put Osiris' pieces together with the help of Anubis, Thoth, and Horus and he became mummy form of the god. Then she breathed into him and he was judge and king of the dead.

• He then showed the pharaoh and the pharaoh was intrigued. He then burned the scribe's wife alive to punish her.

Week 2: Review

My favorite posts had to be these two pictures from August 27.

This photo is great because one of my pet peeves is when people misspell words. 

                                                                 This is just a smart cat.


As far as any announcements for this upcoming week. There are a couple of events that are great and have great food this week.

Sunday August 30 at 5:30 pm the Turkish Student Association is going to have a get together in Reaves park. They are going to have great food for only five dollars!!!

This Thursday, August 3 the Hispanic American Student Association will be taking part in the Back to School Bash. This event is free and has free food and sno-cones at Varsity House. 

Hopefully, we will see some of you there!

Famous Last Words Week 3

This week I have read a large amount of myths and tales and it has been fantastic! I really enjoyed learning about these mythological gods and goddesses and their tales. They have been so great that I have decided to do extra readings about them. I know for sure that my best writing for this week would have to be my tale about Pyro the horse. I feel like it must be decent, because I have had over two hundred views on that page. Which I never would have imagined was possible.

            As far as my other classes are concerned that’s an interesting tale. I am currently enrolled in neurobiology and we have to do equizzes throughout the semester. We are allowed to have unlimited tries, he takes our highest score, but the catch is that it is timed for five minutes and there are ten questions. So, I attempted this quiz and it contained quite a bit of physics questions, which was never my strong point. Needless to say, sixteen attempts later I finally received the score that I wanted because there were some graphs and I had to learn how to interpret them during the quiz. We have not even begun to talk about these graphs. I also began reading a story for my Spanish literature class and the class itself seems like it won’t be super exciting, but the stories are hilarious.

            Outside of the classroom, I have had many meetings this week, which has been interesting. I also have to give a presentation tomorrow for new action center tutors and will be giving a presentation to the Integrity Council members about hearing panels. My weekend may have technically started today, but I don’t think that I will be getting much rest. Hopefully week 2 will be much smoother!

Week 3: Growth Mindset Memes

For this challenge I attempted to make memes that portrayed the growth mindset. So here are some of those!

Manuscripts of Villainous Creatures: Styles Brainstorm

Topic: This story will contain the court manuscripts of infamous beings including Grendel, werewolves, vampires, and dragons. My goal is to provide a narrative for the reader and to give different perspectives of the events that occurred or often occur with these monsters. I would definitely be using Beowulf and possibly The Book of Were-Wolves to provide background stories and perceptions of these creatures. I believe the hardest part of this project would be deciding which tales to pull the monsters from. I know that I would likely use an anthology and would present it as if each tale was a new trial.

Bibliography:
1) The Story of Beowulf by Stafford Riggs (1933)
2) The Book of Were-Wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould (2012)

Possible Styles:

Perspective of Accused
This perspective could be told in the first person in each tale of the accused being. This could prove a powerful tool if I added emotions and feelings to the creatures as they tell their stories and hear their verdict. This could provide a completely new viewpoint of the reader on many creatures that are often thought of as being emotionless and brutal killers. I would definitely include tales of loss from the perspective of the accused that could bring sympathy from the jury and judge. However, I could also portray myself as a horrid being that upon release would immediately return to killing people.


Perspective of Judge
This perspective could be told in the first person perspective of the judge and his thoughts. This could give us a view of what the judge thinks as he decides the punishment of the monsters and whether or not he holds any prejudice against certain monsters (foreshadowing?). I could then go into a deeper explanation of the type of punishment that the accused will receive and why the judge deemed this appropriate.

Perspective of Juror
This perspective could be unique and I could use this to play the role of a new character each time with completely different viewpoints of right and wrong. This could provide me the opportunity to pity some mythical beings or punish them far beyond what they deserved.  I believe this would enable me to show how jurors perceive individual cases and could then discuss how they reached their verdicts.


Perspective of Audience
This perspective would likely describe the trials in the third person and would portray a more broad picture of what is occurring in the courtroom. It would focus more heavily on the tales told by the accused and prosecutors and not so much the emotions felt. This would enable me to treat the reading as only fact and leave out the emotional aspects. This could be useful as the reader would then have to decide where their opinion lies and how they feel about the trials without being guided to feel a certain way.

Extra Reading Diary: Ovid's Metamorphoses II

I decided to just read Ovid's Metamorphoses II

Cupid & Hades:

• Venus tells Cupid to make Hades fall in love with Persephone (Demeter's daughter)
• He shot Hades in the heart as he was flying over Sicily after an earthquake.

Hades & Persephone:

• Hades kidnaps Persephone from a field and rapes her.
• The nymph Cyane blocked his path, but he used his staff and made a hole to the underworld in the road. The nymph turned to water because she was stricken by grief.
• Demeter searched for days and when she asked an elderly woman for a drink a boy called her greedy. So naturally she turned him into a newt. 
• Cyane was a part of a pool of water, but Demeter came to the pond and Cyane showed her a ribbon that was Persephone's at the bottom of the pool.
• She blamed Sicily and destroyed their crops.

Demeter & Zeus:

• Demeter was told of kidnapping by nymph.
• She went to Zeus and asked for help. He said she could come back so long as no food touched her lips. This was the law decreed by the Fates.'

Persephone's Fate:

• However, she ate a pomegranate and Ascalaplus the nymph was the only one to see and he snitched on her.
• Demeter turned the nymph into a screech owl (a mortal bird of bad omen).
• Then Zeus decided to split her half the year between the two.

Arachne & Minerva(Athena):

• Arachne could masterfully spin wool into clothes. People believed she had been taught by Athena and she denied it.
• Athena came down in disguise and told her to ask for forgiveness. Arachne became upset and asked why Athena didn't just come down and ask herself. 
• Athena removed the disguise and they then went into a competition of who could create the best artwork.

Minerva Weaves a Web:

• Minerva weaved the gods and Arachne's possible fates.
• Athena ripped up the story Arachne weaved because it mocked the gods and Arachne hung herself. Athena then turned her into a spider.

(The Story of Greece, Mary McGregor) 

Niobe Rejects Latona:

• Niobe wasn't satisfied with her perfect life.
• She badmouthed Latona (mother of Apollo & Artemis) and called herself a goddess above Latona.

Death of Niobe's Children:

• This angered Niobe and her children were upset as well.
• Apollo and Artemis killed her seven sons, seven daughters, and husband. 
• She was then placed on a mountain as a statue that to this day tears still flow.

Latona and the Lycians:

• Latona was running from Hera after giving birth to Apollo & Artemis and needed water.
• She stopped at a pond and asked group of men to drink from their pond. They denied her and they were transformed to frogs.

Marysas:

Week 3: True Love Conquers All Storytelling

                                             True Love Conquers All

Let me tell you a tale of a controlling mother and her love-struck son. Although I am responsible for making people fall in and out of love I had never really wanted a serious relationship. However, my mother Aphrodite always tried to control me, as a result I always felt the need to rebel against her. One day she asked me to complete a task for her and I sat next to her as she told me the details of a woman, named Psyche that had wronged her.

(Aphrodite by LinzArcher)

            My mother told me that there was a woman who was being falsely identified as the goddess of beauty herself. This made mom incredibly angry and I knew that I must complete this task to make her happy. She asked me to make her fall in love with the lowest of men throughout all the earth. I travelled to strike this woman with my arrows and I saw her from a distance. As I approached her in the night she turned and my heart skipped a beat. I looked down and realized that I had impaled myself with my own arrow, but I do not believe it was on accident. I could not stand the thought of letting this beautiful young woman wed such a horrid man, and I asked Apollo if he would give a false prophecy to Psyche’s father. I knew that after hearing of her horrible fate that was prophesied my mother would be satisfied and would no longer seek vengeance.

            I had Psyche brought to a beautiful palace I had constructed, but I did not want Psyche to see that I was the man she was to wed. I feared that word would get out to my mother and we would both face her vengeance. As a result, I only visited Psyche in the dead of night and would not allow her to see my appearance. I threatened to leave her forever if she ever attempted to see me in the light. I realize now that this probably wasn’t the best approach, and any woman would tell me that I made a mistake only a man could make.

            Psyche’s sisters came to the mountain where she had been brought and I made my next mistake to allow Psyche to know that they were coming. Upon seeing the glorious palace and treasures that belonged to my beautiful bride they became envious and plotted her destruction. They convinced my love to attempt to kill me and to look at my appearance while I slept. Unfortunately, she listened to the commands of those harpies and I was awoken to a severe burning sensation on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw the love of my life holding a knife ready to kill the horrid beast she thought she shared the same bed with. I quickly arose and flew to the house of the only person I knew could heal the severe burn I had, my mother Aphrodite.

(Image of Fury that Truly Resembles Psyche's Sisters, by DeviantArt)

            Have you ever wondered why everyone hates seagulls? I may have something to do with that. One seagull went up to my mother and told her that I had been with the woman she despised. When I found out about this birds wrongdoing I asked a couple of gods to help me make them one of the most despised birds on the planet and I will never lift that curse. My mother was not very happy to find out about my indiscretions and she went on a rampage. My aunts, Hera and Demeter, tried to tell her that I was no longer a child and I should be allowed to find love as we help people do daily. By Zeus, I was more than nine hundred years old at that time!

(Psyche at the Throne of Aphrodite, by Edward Hale)

            She would not listen and to help wrap up this story she finally found Psyche. She tried to destroy her by making her complete deadly tasks, but fate ensured that I would see my love again. She completed all of her tasks and my grandfather Zeus allowed me to marry the love of my life and made her immortal. We now have a beautiful daughter named Pleasure and my mother’s cold shoulder towards Psyche has finally warmed. However, the moral of this story is that it is difficult for any mother to accept that their child is ready to leave the nest, even immortal mothers. However, when their child finds the right person nothing can stop their love, not even mommy dearest.

 

(Psyche and Cupid) 

Author’s Note: I used the story Cupid and Psyche and portrayed the story in the eyes of Cupid. I used his perspective to explain the feelings he had for Psyche and what his mother felt against the woman that not only had incredible beauty, but attempted to steal her son. There are no significant changes in the story and it follows very closely with the original tale. I believe this gives a unique perspective on Cupid’s side of the story.

Reading Diary A: Cupid and Psyche

For this week I chose to read Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche.

The Captive Woman:

• The story began with a man named Lucius that had been magically transformed into a donkey and was held captive by a band of robbers. 
• The robbers then come back to their cave with a girl they kidnapped.
• An old woman tried to console the girl, but when she didn't stop crying she got annoyed and threatened her.

Her Dream:

• The young woman dreamt of her kidnapping at her wedding and that her husband tried to follow them and was killed.
• The old woman then begins to tell her the story of Cupid and Psyche to distract her. 

Psyche's Beauty:

• Psyche was so beautiful that people began to believe she was Aphrodite, which we should all know caused Aphrodite to be furious since she is the goddess of beauty.
• Aphrodite tells her son cupid (who commits shameful acts & ruins marriages) to make her love the worst possible man ever.

Oracle of Apollo:

• Psyche's father went to the oracle and it was prophesied that she would give birth to a dragon-like creature. 
• She was brought to the mountain crag to fulfill the prophecy of the oracle. 

The Magical Palace:

• Psyche was lifted by a the chief of the west winds, Zephyr, to a valley. She then saw a magical palace and walked into it. The palace was beautiful and loaded with treasures. 

The Mysterious Husband:

• Her husband only came in during the dead of night and would not allow her to see him in the light. He promised if she ever saw what he looked like she would never see him again.
•  He made her his wife and he warned her that her sisters would be coming to the mountain to look for her and she could not reach out to them.
• She then convinced him to let her see them and the husband commanded Zephyr to bring the sisters to the valley safely.
• The sisters saw the palace and money and were immediately envious. 

Psyche's Husband Warns Her:

• She becomes pregnant and the sisters go home planning how to destroy Psyche's marriage, so that they can marry her husband. They are often compared to harpies, sirens, and furies.

Fears & Doubts:

• The sisters go to her house and convince her that the husband she has never seen is a serpent because of the prophecy. 
• They then tell her to use a lamp to see what he looks like while he's asleep and to murder him. 

Psyche's Husband Revealed:

• She lights the lamp and she sees cupid lying asleep on the bed. The oil from the lamp falls on his shoulder and burns him. He wakes up and sees that he has been revealed and flies off.

(Psyche Abandoned, by Coypel)

Psyche's Despair:

• Psyche leaves the house in despair and tries to kill herself in the river. The river stops her from doing it and Pan comes up and begins to comfort her. 
• She travels to her sisters kingdoms and says that cupid abandoned her and wanted them to come be his wife. They eagerly ran to the cliff and jumped off expecting for Zephyr to catch them, but they were not caught and were killed by jagged rocks. 

Week 2 Curation

This week I have found quite a few pictures from Pinterest portraying the types of characters and mythical creatures you can find in Greek and Roman mythology. If you need any photos of Medusa or some photos that seem to reflect these tales as portrayed in the UnTextbook. Feel free to click on an image and use it to your advantage!

Week 2: Growth Mindset

Warning: Animal lovers may find the context of this blog post unappealing. 



The growth mindset challenge I completed is one that I continually push myself to accomplish when I travel. I always try to challenge myself to experience another culture as much as possible by trying different foods and learning different customs. What this challenge has helped me do is to become more open to trying new things and considering cultural differences without judgement.

I would have to say the most challenging thing that I have done while abroad took place in Peru. While there we heard of a traditional Peruvian delicacy known as Cuy, a.k.a. Guinea Pig. No one in our group wanted to challenge themselves and try something that is incredibly unique to Peru. The people serving the food were telling us that Guinea Pig was usually only served on birthdays and important holidays. I did not want to leave Peru wishing that I had pushed myself out of my comfort zone, so I took the leap and a friend joined me soon after.

(Eating Cuy in Cuzco, Peru)

 I couldn't believe that I ate something like this, but after having done it and talked with the people in Peru about their way of living I can say that I truly tried my best to immerse in the culture of Peru. I find it extremely hard to push myself out of my comfort zone both in the U.S. and out of it, but I always find the outcome extremely rewarding and unforgettable!

Week 1: Review

I haven't missed anything so far in the course. There was only one announcement in the class explaining how things work in the class. However, having completed the first weeks worth of assignments I feel that I understand how the course works. I really enjoy the video in the announcements and I like how easy it is to incorporate media into our blogs!

Week 1 & 2 Famous Last Words

           I feel that I have been extremely productive the week before orientation week. In the week before classes started I have been able to finish two weeks worth of coursework and it has not felt like a lot of work. It is interesting to read these stories and then rewrite my favorite one into my own words. I have always loved Greek and Roman mythology, probably because I was required to take a course over it in sixth grade. 

            The thing that stuck out most to me through these readings is the emotions that the gods often feel. You would think that beings that can control the world would not succumb to lustful thoughts and feel jealousy since they will be there for all eternity, yet they always do! I feel that my best writing this week was for my week 2 assignments in which I retold the story of Phaethon and the Sun in the perspective of the horse Pyro. I am a science-based type of guy and I have not written anything fictional in a long time, but this story really helped me think outside of the box and with my imagination. I have also never written anything in the perspective of an animal, but I feel that this could be a way for me to tell stories in another context that could provide an interesting twist on classical tales.

            As far as my other classes are concerned I have not started them yet, but I certainly am nervous for tomorrow. I have seen the syllabus for my neurobiology and cell biology classes and luckily the exam dates do not overlap or fall on the same week! Now I just have to wait and see what my other courses have in store for me. All I need now is a planner to make sure I can keep it all in check.

       However, the highlight of my week was being able to attend one of my best friend's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and I had a fantastic time!
