I am happy with the progress I have made in this class so far. I have become a better writer also. I would rate the stories that I have read so far eight out of ten.

As the weeks continued I started doing my reading notes and thinking about my authors note as I began to brainstorm re-creating the epic. It is great that you require us to do reading notes because it does help! I look at it like my prewriting. Every good story needs prewriting. Overall, the reading and writing has been a great experience. My favorite story that I have encountered in this class is the story of Rama and Sita! I know many of us in the class will probably share the same opinion but this story is really cool to me! Rama and Sita's story is filled with drama and love! I was always engaged while reading. As of right now, I am not completely satisfied with my project yet but soon I will be! I want to add more stories to my project and polish the ones that I already have. I am excited to continue my Willy Wonka s...
