Storybook Favorites

1. Epic Cooking https://sites.google.com/view/epic-cooking/home

    My first choice was Epic Cooking. This Storybook stood out to me because the author relates every recipe to an Indian mythology story. The title immediately let me know that we would be cooking. This storybook was arranged perfectly because before I could see the recipes you had to read the story above the recipe. Each story was a letter to Camille (the person who was cooking) from the Indian mythological characters. Camille clearly put lots of time into this storybook because she did all the cooking her self and took a picture of each step along the way. Overall, I loved the design and simplicity of this Storybook and thought this was one of the best out of all. 

2. Karma: The Good Place https://sites.google.com/view/goodplacekarma/home

    My second choice stood out to me because I had just watched The Good Place on Netflix this past summer. The title just like the show is a trick, because you think you're in the Good Place when the Good Place is actually the Bad Place. The introduction does a great job of putting you right into the story at the moment Yudhishtira has just died. Having the picture with the caption "Welcome, Everything is Fine" is the perfect picture to describe the confusion Yudhishtira would be feeling. Overall, I thought the design of this Storybook was great. Having this storybook as a script to read instead of a story makes you feel like you are the main character. I feel doing a script for the story is a great idea and one I will definitely have interest in using for my Storybook.  

3. Music Stories https://sites.google.com/view/musicbattles/home?authuser=0

    I chose this one to discuss because music and different genres of music have always interested me. The title was straightforward. The introduction does a great job of outlining this storybook and separating it into three parts Sarastawi, Nataraja, and Ravana. The design is simple as it is the into and the three main parts. Each mythological character basically is a genre of music. Ravana's music is a story telling type of music and shows versaitlty in how it can tell a story, Sarastawi is more flute and calming music used for meditation, and lastly Nataraja music is more funky pop type music that is meant for dancing. Overall, the design and layout of this made it simple to realize each type of music and how it related to each story.

Introduction to Joshua the Biology major

My name is Joshua Cohlmia and I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Being raised here made it an easy choice to continue my education at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Biology/Pre-Dental. The most interesting part of my major is that I've taken lots of difficult science classes but have never once learned about teeth. It's weird taking all these classes that don't apply directly yo my job in the future. The most interesting class I took last semester was molecular biology. Having a pandemic while taking these science classes has been awesome (for class not in everyday life) because a lot of teachers have been using Covid-19 as an example and I've gotten to learn so much about it. Last semester I finally reached my goal of achieving a 4.0 which I had never done before. My favorite movie is Die Hard because it ties my two favorite things together, Christmas and action. My favorite book is the Harry Potter series because it was the first series of book

Next to them was a beautiful lake with a very cunning crane. The crane loves to eat fish and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fish struggling in their pond. The Crane flew over to the fish and enticed the fish by telling them about this beautiful lake next to them with a plentiful amount of water. Soon, all the fish in the lake were gathered around the Crane while he went on and on about the lake he lives in with lots of water. The fish were all thrilled to hear this but also very suspicious of the crane because they knew that cranes feast on fish. They asked many questions but the crane was quite convincing. The fish gathered together to decide and wound up deciding to give the Crane a cha
