Storybook Topic Brainstorm

Narrowing down my brainstorming to four potential topics was definitely difficult, but it was neat to get to do some research about things that I have either previously been interested in, or have always wanted to learn more about.

Ruth and Boaz- I have always loved the story of Ruth and Boaz and the loyalty that is shown throughout this book of the Bible. While I was researching and reading a little more about this book, I thought it would be interesting to writing a storybook that is a series of diary entries by Ruth. The entries would be about her time with Boaz, as well as her relationship with her mother in law and the hardships they went through when Ruth's first husband died. Going forward with this topic, I would want to do more research on Ruth as a person and what her perspective was, if there is any information on that. Also, I would like to know more about the characteristics of Boaz so I could accurately retell their love story.

Daniel in the Lion's Den- I remember hearing this story when I was younger and being enamored by it, but I really don't know many details about it, and I also don't really know how I could retell this story. It might be interesting to tell this story from the perspective of the lions in the den, but I think it could prove hard to find information to support the perspective of an animal, especially because this story is so focused on Daniel and how God saves Daniel from the lions.

Food Urban Legends- I think it would be kind of fun to make a cookbook about food urban legends and give recipes for what the different urban legends say that certain foods will lead to. I would, of course, need to find maybe 5 different urban legends that would fit this layout, as well as researching urban legends in general. This topic would be really fun and unique, but it might also be a challenge just because I have such little knowledge about urban legends. This topic interested me because I love food and I wanted to learn more about modern myths that are urban legends.

Anne Bonny the Pirate- The last topic I found interesting was Anne Bonny the famous female pirate. One of my favorite movie series is the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and so I thought it could be interesting to use Anne Bonny's story and make a movie script similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, but with a female as the lead. The different stories would be different sections of the script. I would need to do a lot more research on Anne Bonny and female pirates in general because I really have no prior knowledge on this topic.

Overall, I am leaning most towards the story of Ruth and Boaz, but I definitely want to do more research before I make a final decision.

Introduction to Pip

Hi friends! Welcome to my blog :) My name is Piper, but most of my friends call me a slew of nicknames like Pipe, Pipey, Pipes, Pipeydoodle, Pip (hence Pip Pip Hurray)... you get the point! I am a student at the University of Oklahoma, and I am currently finishing up my last semester before I graduate (don't remind me, I'm getting emotional about it). I am from Tulsa, OK originally, and I would love to go back someday, but my future is pretty up in the air right now so I am not sure when that might be. I am studying Health and Exercise Science with an emphasis on Pre-Occupational Therapy, and the goal would be to start OT school in Summer 2020. I'm super passionate about people and forming relationships, which is what drew me to OT. I love the idea of working in a profession that allows me to make new friends, love others, and solve problems all at the same time. As well as my many nicknames, my friends call me an old lady at heart. I love to read (most recent book- Where...

Week 5 Story- The Genie's Awakening

Oh, it's dark in here. It's really, really dark in here and I am tired of the dark. I have been in this ring for years and years...I lost count after my 563rd year. I just gave up hope at that point. I used to rehearse my lines every single day, hoping that someone would rub the ring and let me get out of this dark hole! Now I just sit here, somber and bored, waiting to die. Which I know won't ever happen because genies don't die. We just sit in the dirt of the ring, waiting. All of my friends that were down here got to leave. Their rings were rubbed by not mine! It's just not fair. I hate the way I've become; negative, lame, and boring. I just cannot help it though, I am sad and I won't stop being sad until someone lets me out of here! Genie by Cool Silh  The reason I am so willing to get out is because one time, just once, I was out of the ring for a day. Someone accidentally touched the ring when they were digging for some other piece of treasure...
