Then they flew far away.

Story: Robbie: Week Thirteen

Story:

In recent years there has been talk of a young boy running through the forests of Oregon. He has been seen everywhere from the coast to the Willamette forest and everything in between. The way they talked about this boy was less human-like and more like Sasquatch or Bigfoot. No one had any proof he existed other than the chaos that he left behind.

I am so rude, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Melody and I have grown up here in this small town of Bend. I am pretty quiet and tend to observe more than anything simply because I have been let down a lot in my life and so blending in is what I do best. I am fifteen now and am so happy to leave this state as soon as I walk across that stage.

Now enough of me back to Robbie. That’s what I have named him because everyone needs a name. I don’t think that Robbie has any parents and I have some pretty bad ones so I feel like we kind of connected on a different level that most people don’t.

The first time I saw him I was walking home from school just listening to my music minding my own business and there he was. He was running from someone’s backyard in such a panic that I didn’t quite know what to do. He looked at me and winked and from there I was hooked.

I needed to find out who he was and how I could be his best friend. I started with Google. Researching the strange boy that everyone talked about but never actually saw. I needed to find a way to his bubble and I would do whatever it took. Stay tuned for our next encounter…

Authors note:

                I chose to take a new track to Robin Hood. I thought by bringing it to this time period and making it from the eyes of a young girl, we could see a different perspective of who he is. I feel like sometimes Robin Hood isn’t looked at as a good guy and with her perspective, maybe I can fix his bad reputation.

Wikipedia Trail

For this assignment, I started with the term sleep because there was a post about sleep deprivation on our twitter feed. I learned the actual definition of sleep and also what your body does during this process. I then went on to the circadian clock which I had never heard of before. This term is pretty much describing an internal clock that is a hypothetical phase. From there I went on to clicking entrainment which is the study of chronobiology. I had no idea what either term is so it just made sense to then move onto chronobiology, which is the field of biology that examines periodic phenomena in living organisms. I feel like a lot fo these two pages went over my head, but it was interesting to learn and get a small amount of information on all of these pages.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I had already had this app downloaded but I explored it a little more and found out some ways to edit my preferences. I used to get very annoyed when I would get a ton of notifications when discussions were due. Now it doesn't send me notifications except the ones I chose, such as grades, messages and a few other things. Overall this app is super helpful and I appreciate the accessibility.

Week 12 Planning Post: The Babes in the Wood

Planning Post:

• ·         In the poem “Babes in the Wood” the author uses a lot of similar or the same words.
• ·         Ex. Say-day, know, night-plight, dead-red, cried-died.
• ·         The author gave did a good job at keeping the story on track and making the reader understand what was going on.
• ·         Two poor children were taken on a Summer’s day.
• ·         They were left in the woods.
• ·         Every night they cried and they laid down and died.
• ·         The birds brought leaves and put them on top of the children.
• ·         They sang to them all day long.
• ·         I thought this was an interesting story because normally you have happy ending with children stories, and this story is clearly not a happy ending for the children.
• ·         I am also raking a children’s literature course and that is helping me understand this book even more. 
• ·         I enjoy the descriptive words and comparison of the colors throughout the whole piece

       

       British and Celtic Research:

·         Celtic stories have been preserved through contemporary Roman and Christian sources.

·         The stories tend to be of ancestral mythologies and was writing during the middle ages.

·         The British side is a folk tradition that was developed over centuries.

·         Most common idea of British folk is Robin Hood.

·         This is largely connected and draws from Celtic Germanic and Christian sources.

·         Some common idea of folklore found in England is a black dog which represents the Devil or relating to Death.

·         Brownie is another one and it is related to a type of hob. They live in the houses and do tasks around the house to make sure it stays clean.

·         Dwarfs and elves are common topics in British literature. 

Conclusion:

Overall I think I want to make a story about the children and do the poem justice. Instead of making it short I want to take the same descriptive words and vibrant coloring to make a full story about this two young kids that were taken too soon.
