Week 12 Reading: Nursery Rhymes (Reading B)



Jingles: Hey Diddle Diddle




  1. Nursery Rhymes: Jingles
    • Cock-a-doodle-doo is fun and the story is cute too 
    • I did not know that tweedledum and tweedledee came from a jingle 
    • truly no better way to describe these tales other than jingle 
    • Rub a dub dub has a queer humor to it 
  2. Nursery Rhymes: Love and Matrimony
    • Jack and Jill 
    • Different versions of "roses are red"
    • Mentions Canterbury, reminds me of the tales 
      • still do not know what &c means 
    • Slightly shows how marriage was handled between sexes then 
    • Mostly narrative songs, probably acted out 
  3. Nursery Rhymes: Natural History, Part 1
    • Natural history is typically how the earth was created or explains why something is a certain way
      • in these tales its really just playful animals and humans
      • some end with mocking humans or using them 
    • Some animals are pets, also talks about the elements like wind 
    • Interactions of human and animal, fictional natural history 
      • some just only mention an animal 
  4. Nursery Rhymes: Natural History, Part 2
    • Baa, Baa, Black Sheep 
    • Little Boy Blue 
      • I note the ones I know 
    • Not much else to mention that differs from Part 1 
      • However, most of these had more animals and less human unlike part 1
  5. Nursery Rhymes: Accumulative Stories
    • This is the house that Jack built is a great idea for copying a story 
      • it adds on top of itself each time 
      • Seems difficult though because of needing to know where the story goes before you write it 
    • Not really rhymes anymore, but stories 
      • the one with the old woman on the road seemed like a song more 
    • The last one is simple to recreate too, just naming placement 
  6. Nursery Rhymes: Relics
    • I truly had no idea what these little relics meant
    • they were mostly all short so I felt like they are writing in code 
    • What are little boys made of mentions "Suger, Spice and everything nice for girls"
      • just like powder puff girls 
    • I really liked the Daffodile relic 
    • Rain Rain Go Away

It's hard to know what to share without sharing too much or too little because to capture someone's true nature you need to actually encounter them. Nonetheless, maybe we are just getting better at communicating digitally rather than personally. So, with that being said, where to start... My name is Brooke Holloway, I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and am currently a senior studying Public Relations. I wasn't really raised to be a Sooner like a few of my classmates, and shortly after people find out I go to OU they question my loyalty to Texas. As if the two really have anything in common? I was as a raised a Longhorn fan, primarily for convenience, but ended up at the University of South Carolina my freshman year. I loved South Carolina and the people that made it a home, but no matter how settled I became I could not shake the feelin...

Week 9 Story: How the North Star Came to Be

How the North Start Came to Be Long ago in a land far, far away there lived a man with two sons of the same age. The firstborn of the twins, Sirius, was a kind gentle boy loved by all since the day he was born. His brother, Canopus, was quite the opposite. Canopus found great difficulty in growing up hidden behind his brother shadow. Not only was he full of deceit but he also had a cruel, harsh soul.

Disappointed and worried about what the future may hold for his two sons, the boy's father desperately prayed to God as he was seeking guidance for his two sons, but more importantly, Canopus.
