Week 8 Comments and Feedback

The comments and feedback for this course are really helpful. I am one who sometimes does not take critiques very well, but I am loving all the feedback I have been getting. Usually I do not think that college students give the best criticism, if any at all (they tend to avoid confrontation), how the feedback in this class works make it seem genuine and like people actually want you to do better. Also, giving feedback is a way to give people my own advice while also looking at how they do their stories. I have been given a few ideas myself and use my own feedback I gave them to improve my own stories.

As far as the feedback I am giving students, I feel like it can be helpful, but I am not sure if they are actually using what I say. A lot of what I say is based on stylistic choices, so I am not sure if they are truly helpful. I am a very imaginative person, so when I read stories I want to be surprised. That is why my feedback often revolves around trying something new rather than just retelling the story.

I like my introduction post. It gives a good sense of who I am, especially with the name. It is hard to really let people know who I am in one post, but I think the comments I leave on other peoples gives them more of a look at how I interact. As far as the future goes, I want to make sure I leave more meaningful comments for people to take and use throughout the rest of their stories.

Introduction to Ya Boi Jacob Heath

Hey all, My name is Jacob, but I go by many nicknames: Jake, Heath (my last name), DJ (it is a long story). You can also just call me Jacob, which is what most people do. My major is microbiology/pre-med. Microbiology is an odd major because the first microbiology course I took was not until second semester junior year, so I am glad I enjoyed it or else I would have wasted my first two years on a major I did not enjoy! I eventual plan is to become a doctor. I still have a long ways to get there, but I am hopeful. People always ask me what specialty I am planning on, and I always hate giving them an answer. That part of my life is sooooo far away that I know my views and likes on different areas of medicine will change. Because most people expect an answer, I tell them sleep medicine because something about sleep and dreams interest me so much. I was the kid who had night terrors and sleep walked (I still do sometimes), so I think it would be a good fit for me. My biggest hobby wo...

Week 11 Story: The Voice

A few months had passed since the Jackal/Lion cub was made fun of for using his voice. Many had forgotten as he had fell into the background during the games and activities that he went to. He still had the body of a lion and that was enough to stop others from continuing to make fun of him. The worst part about not using his voice is that the cub was terrified to pursue his true dream: to sing. One day the cub was running errands for his father (the lion). He had some food strapped on his back that he was carrying home and was getting bored on the long walk back home. Then, a thought popped into his head. He looked around and saw that no one was there, so he began to sing. What many do not know about a jackal's voice is that they have the most beautiful singing voice. It had been so long since the cub had been able to use his voice that is was a little hoarse, but shortly it became a lovely clear tune that his mother (the jackal) used to sing for him when he was little.
