Week 8 Comments and Feedback

    

What Great Listeners Actually Do by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman

    I love reading the comments that my classmates leave for me because it makes me feel appreciated that someone is actually reading my stories and investing in me. Feedback is appreciated as it helps me evolve as a writer since I am a novice. I enjoy giving feedback to my classmates since I can read their blogs and learn from what they right. This gives me the oppurtunity to througly read their stories and analyze the details so I can see where I can improve and also help them improve their stories. Writing feedback is hard for me because I do not want to be too critical, so I always try to add some compliments into my feedback. Usually I always ask questions about stuff that confuses me or stuff that be expanded on. 

    Also, I enjoy reading my classmates blogs because they are like a part of themselves that they put into words. It is interesting to see how they write their stories because you can see the personality that they infused into it. I really like the infographic above because it gives you a nice guide on how to give feedback while making sure you do not fall into the usual pitfalls that plague giving feedback.

I love my major because it is so interesting to learn about the world around us and organisms that are inside of us. When I am not studying I like to go hiking, watch Netflix, listen to music, and sometimes even try to produce beats.

My favorite things to watch on Netflix are shows with a lot of drama and action, and one of my favorite shows that fits this criteria is Mad Men. Other shows I constantly find myself watching are The Office and That 70s Show. However, a lot of my time this quarantine was spent playing Warzone with my friends.

Week 4 Story: Rama and Sita

Author's Note     I decided to put my own spin on the story of Rama and Sita . In the original story Rama visits Sita's kingdom where she is a princess, and the only person she can get married to is the one who is able to use the Bow of Shiva. Rama not only is able to use the bow, but snaps it in half with his insane amount of power. I put my own spin on it by putting these characters in a more modern setting. Bibliography Ramayana , Various Authors, Public Domain Edition Rama and Sita        "I'll never find the right one" Ram thought to himself. He always felt pressure from his father to find the right girl. Someone who would support him so that Ram could run his father's multi-million dollar company well. But to Ram it seemed like all they want him for is the money. However. this all changed when he thought he met the one: Sofia. To him she was perfect. Intelligent, driven, and her family also owned a big company so it was a match made in heaven. Still, the
