As we all know there are so many creative stories all around the world. One of my favorites is Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Mostly everyone has heard about this story. I love this story because it shows the background of the Italy and describes beautiful time of renaissance and middle ages. I also like how it shows that love at first sight is possible and it also how strong love towards someone could be. It teaches us an important life lesson that always wait don't make any decisions without thinking the consequences. Always think twice and have patience in life.
Well baked man story is also a very creative story. This type of stories are creative myths that helps understand why some things are the way they are. For example this story informs us how different color people were form and how coyote helped the magician (American Indian) understand how people were came to life. I also liked how oven was used as a symbol to make new color of people.
By reading this story I learned a lot about how Native Americans thinking. They used myths to answer their question and also used the symbols such as oven to make things easier to understand. We can also learn by the stories that coyotes were important part of Native Americans lives.
I so enjoyed making our creative stories with the group. It was a fun activity. The best part of this activity was listening and seeing everyone else's story. All the stories were very creative and everyone had a lot of fun doing this project. I hope we have similar kinds of activities in future as well. I enjoyed creating my own story too. It was hard to come up with a topic but after you knew what you were doing it turned out to be a good story and play.
In our story we used a villain which was a moth who discouraged the buttery saying that it can never fly, a mentor who was a bird who helped butterfly and encouraged it to fly, a trickster also the bird who gave the magic blanket to butterfly which made wings which helped the butterfly fly. The hero was the butterfly who wanted to fly and never gave up her hope and always dreamed of flying. At the end the butterfly was able to fly and live happily ever after.

The story Ribbons, was a very well written, interesting and thoughtful. In the beginning of the story Meredith was shown as a happiest person in the world but as you get deep into the story the cold hard truth comes up that Meredith has breast cancer and her boyfriend was dead. This story was filled with descriptive shades of pink and other colors. The mention of colors every paragraph made the story as colorful. I also liked the twist at the end of the story. I thought the moral of the story was that flashing the big smile on the face every day and dressing bright and colorful doesn't mean that person is always happy from inside.

There were many symbols like shades of pink mention the color of breast cancer awareness. The poems were the toughest symbol for describing the feelings of Meredith. I thought the whole story was a symbol for something bad about to occur. It was tough figuring out the symbols at first but after you read the whole story all the puzzle pieces started to make sense.

By going it over in class I had others opinion of the story and we together as class made great inferences about the story. I liked how we stopped every few paragraphs to discuss what had happen and dump our thoughts and share it with class. It made it a lot easier to understand the story as everyone had different opinions. I liked our class discussion because it gave out the general idea of the story and we got to hear the different interpretation and morals of the story.

There were many literary devices such as hyperbole used when referencing Meredith. It said that how God could see her (Meredith) from above the skies. Other literary device distinctio was mentioned, for example when author mentioned all the shade of pinks such as carnation, fandango, cerise, puce, salmon and roses. Author wanted to make sure that the reader thought of the shades of pink. Therefore, mentioning pink so many times. Author also used foreshadowing at the end of the story, how he left off by saying "hoping that tomorrow would be the day that all the burdens will be released from their shoulders and the truth will finally be reveled."

1. My rough time was when I had to move from India to United States. There was no specific cause for this rough time. My uncle was a US citizen and he had invited my parents and me to permanently move to US. Immigration to US was suppose to be a good thing but it was definitely a rough time for me.
2. I lost my homeland and my family in India. I also lost/ abandoned my childhood memories. Most of my family lives in India and now I can't stay in touch with them as often as I use to when I lived in India. I visit them once every two years but I feel like I lost that close connection with them.
3. I was a twelve years old when I moved, so I was confused, shocked, happy and sad at the same time. I didn't know what was right and wrong for me. One day I would be happy that hurrah I am  moving to a new country but than sad the other day that I have to leave my family and friends behind. I was also confused because I didn't know what the new country, people and culture was like. I was scared of the fact that I am going to be a stranger in a strange land.
4. Now that I look back at those days I definitely feel like my parents made the right decision by moving here. I am so glad that I moved here. I got use to American culture, it did take me while to adjust but now I got assimilated into the new country.
5. I gained many opportunities to prove myself in this society. I found better education, better living and better life. I also leaned many different things from a totally different culture.
