Week 13 reading notes A Celtic Fairy Tales


The raspberries the brothers were picking.

Today’s reading were pretty fun. I’m sure they kid stories but they were pretty cool. The two I liked the best was the one about the brothers and the one that was like Snow White. The one about the two brothers was fun because of how it just keeps building and building on top of each other. It seems like a really easy way to make a long story. The other one was also sort of like that because each time she tried to kill her daughter something else happened. I was really confused as to why she wanted to eat the daughters liver though. I get that she wanted to kill her so I’m sure ripping her heart out would do the trick but then to eat her daughters heart and liver is to much. Why did she wanna kill her daughter to being with like its her kid and she’s jealous of her for being prettier. Makes no sense to me man.

My name is Jose Juan Ruiz Macias Jr. I am the son of Jose Juan Macias Ruiz and Irma Liliana Ruiz Ramos. Both are Mexican immigrants that came to the USA in 1997. I was born that same year in the small town of Sun Valley, Idaho. I spent my first year of life there. My dad wasn't a big fan of the cold weather, so we moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he previously lived for a couple of years with his older brothers. I grew up in the south side of OKC next to OCCC. I attended Western Heights High School and graduated in the top ten percent with distinguished honors. I also played soccer and ran cross-country from sophomore to senior year. I came to OU as an undecided major, pursuing a career in pharmacy. After two years, I changed majors to chemical bioscience, and now I am in the process of applying to grad schools to obtain a PhD.D. I am not exactly sure what I want to study. I've looked at several programs including biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and genetic

Image from  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/164944405087963930/?autologin=true It was a stormy and lonely Thursday evening at the diner, a man with great white hair and a face worn down by years walks in and sits at the counter. 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
