Reading Notes Part A: Measure of Rice

This week I have decided to continue the Jatakas Tales! The story that is most interesting to me is the "Measure of Rice story". I like this story for many reasons. The main reason is, I liked how to horse dealer "checked" the new valuer. In the story the king was feeling greedy and wanted to make more wealth. However, the people of the town and the horse dealer was not as naive as he thought they were going to be. The king went out and got a new valuer. The new valuer was a poor man and he wanted the new valuer to increase the value of everything so he can gain more wealth. However the horse dealer went to the old valuer for advice and he went to question the new valuer in front of the king. The new valuer ended up getting showed up by his questions and ran away from the crowd of people laughing at him. In my retelling of the story I want to create the same thing except from a Chocolaty perspective. I could have Willy Wonka turn into a money hungry boss. Willy Wonka can have a direct effect on the towns chocolate industry because he could monopolize his business and capitalize off of that. Stay tuned to see how get will do that !

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
