Stories in the Sky:

During this assignment I was asked to use videos and text to analyze the constellations of the sky and the stories that go along with them. In order to reach this goal I examined the videos provided and found a set of constellations that relate to a set of stories that I like and that I am familiar with, and because the topic was something that I am passionate about I was able to put together my paper very efficiently I started with the basic knowledge that we know about Perseus and his journey and simply just expanded upon it going into detail about what the story represents and how its affected Greek culture.

Seventh Night Poems:

With Assignment 4 Seventh Night Poems, we were given a series of poems detailing a story told during the Japanese festival of Tanabata. The goal of this assignment was to read and analyze the poems as well as their impact on Japanese culture. In order to do this personally it took me a couple of read throughs to fully grasp the story and the true meaning behind it, but once I understood I was able to write our assignment in which I was able to explore the beauty behind Tanabata and the Seventh Night Poems and how they’ve impacted the Japanese culture.
