Week 2 Reading Overview

I  have chose the story Tiny Tales from the Ramanaya. I felt that these would be the most though out stories because our professor is the one writing this story. If she was willing to put in the time to write this then you know this will be the best version of the story.

This one looked interesting to me because growing up one of my favorite novels was the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) because I always think Giants are such interesting characters. 

The Lord of Lanka: The Rise and Fall of a Demon King

Who doesn't love a good dynasty story of a rise and fall. The roman empires always interested me so this story looks interesting.

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.
