Week 13 Reading: Aesop's Fables (Reading B)

Dogs
Dogs

  1. Wolves (Smart)
    • Smarts fables are truer to life nature 
    • the wolf seems to be the most ruthless of them all over the lion 
  2. More Wolves (L'Estrange)
    • An Agreement between the Wolves and the Dogs** 
      • could be adapted to fit another story with a similar moral 
  3. Dogs (Smart)
    • The Bitch and Her Puppies**
    • The Dog and the Crocodile**
    • Smart seems to have the darker vision out of the three contributors 
  4. More Dogs (Boothby)
    • The Embassy of the Dogs of Jupiter was such a weird fable
      • very far fetched, pun intended 
      • semi Typical fable of Boothby 
  5. Yet More Dogs (L'Estrange)
    • A Trusty God and his Master**
      • Want to rewrite this one
        • two paragraphs
          • first with one side of the story
          • second with another side of the story 
          • Rash Action 
  6. Cats and Weasels (Smart)
    • Weasel and Mouse
      • Roman version of cat and mouse 
    • The Battle of the Mice and Weasels 
      • Smart gets clever when rhyming with short words 
      • I often try to spice of writing with unique words, but it is more impressive to use small ones 
  7. Birds (Smart)
    • Jaw bird puts on peacock type feathers much like the ass in the lion's skin 
    • The Cock and the Pearl 
      • short, simple 
      • Mostly narration 
  8. More Birds (Boothby)
    • The Eagle and the Serpent 
    • & The Peacock and the Crane
      • Great and iconic imagery 
    • Peacock and the Crane have a great two side 
  9. Insects (Smart)
    • The Fly and the Mule
      • fly tries to drive the mule 
      • cute imagery 
    • The Ant and the Fly 
      • fly tries to convince ant that the ant should worship him as an alter 
        • Ant was actually a hard worker and saw through his arrogance
    • Not like much of Smarts other fables, more light-hearted 
  10. Insects, Fishes, and Frogs (Boothby)
    • The Ant and the Grasshopper 
      • one of the most famous of Aesop's fables 
    • The Crab and her Daughter 
      • Funny hearing how Boothby described teaching a crab to walk straight 
      • so outlandish it goes with his manner of writing 
    • The Two Frogs
      • I enjoy the idea of easily comparing two differences and how each develops and story and character 
  11. More Frogs (Smart)
    • The Proud Frog
      • Ends up dead from trying to make itself bigger by puffing its chest 
        • couldn't match the size of an ox 
    • The Frogs and Sun 
      • Aesop tells a story from his own perspective

Three Brothers of Fortune The Three Friends: the Monkey, the Dog, and the Carabao All three against the Buñgisñgis, Monkey ended up being the smartest but got his two friends killed  The theme of monkeys being smartest tricksters Three Brothers of Fortune Not the message I thought it would send  The last brother got the better end  he didn't pay for the charm  The Clever Husband and Wife Again, very different ending  Doesn't have a moral really, much like the rest  Sort of sends the message to always be honest to those close? The Devil and the Guachinango guachinango ends up with the most Starts with the old woman and her daughter looking for a husband, ends with devil and guachinango Very good ratio of dialogue to narration  Chonguita Begins to be like three brothers of fortune Three brothers  two marry women  one marries a monkey monkey does better at tasks  so Don Juan, who is married t...

Balancing Technology After reading about the technology involved in this class the words "spoke too soon" ran through my mind. In my last blog post, I explained that I felt nervous about making sure that I would not let an assignment fall through the cracks, which stemmed from being overwhelmed with the multiple websites involved in finishing one homework assignment. However, now that I take a step back I understand that I balance a wild amount of social apps, so why would I think that would not translate into an academic setting? Also, it is laid out plain and simple how I am expected to balance each sites interaction. An added bonus of this course: Being additionally enrolled Public Relations Publications will help in working on creating a website and using photo skills as I will be working with Adobe Photoshop for a large portion of that class. Although this course does not directly translate into my career in public relations, the skills I earn undoubtedly will.
