Week 4 Reading B The Metamorphoses



Story: The Metamorphoses by Ovid. Translated by A. S. Kline

This reading was a lot less interesting than the one from yesterday. I only liked the story of echo. These stories are really messed up, it seems like greeks hated young girls.

I actually fell asleep reading them.

He wore a long grey coat over his wrangler jeans and button-up shirt. The waitress could tell he was troubled. Man: "I'll take a coffee, please." His voice was so deep and robust it imitated the thunder from the storm outside. Waitress: "Sure thing, hun, any dinner or  slice of pie for you tonight?" Man: "No thank you." The waitress quickly brewed up a fresh batch of steaming hot coffee. The earthy aroma filled the diner. Waitress: "Here you go hun. Sugar or creamer?" Man: "Please." The waitress grabbed a couple packets of each and placed them by the man's cup. He slowly added them to his drink while he waited for the coffee to cool. Waitress: "So what ...
