Reading Notes: The Hawk and The Osprey Part C


The Story I chose to take notes over was “The Hawk and The Osprey.” This story is found in the Eastern Stories and Legends part C which is retold stories of the Jataka tales. In the story Two hawks become mates and create friendships with many other animals. They then have young that are being harassed a threatened to be eaten by two men. The osprey defends the young as long as he can and then becomes tired. So, then the tortoise takes over until he is tired. Finally, the Lion is summoned for help and the men become terrified by the great beast and flee. All of these animals stay friends throughout time and then die as friends. What I got from this story was that if bonds of true friendship are made, not much and disrupt that. And friends that work together, for each other, stay together. From this story, a possible story could be made by switching characters and well switching location, and the source threat.

The best class I took last semester was Engineering Design because I learned different CAD platforms and how to dynamically analyze parts via computer, taking out some of the time of tedious hand calculations. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it was great infield experience working with lead mechanical engineers all summer long. Although I said Colorado was my favorite p...

Week 5 Story: Just a Game

Tom was an All-American hockey player and was the best in Pittsburg. He had major dreams of going to the NHL one day but now he was only 17 and could only work on perfecting his craft. He cam up through the ranks as a young boy being the best on any rink he stepped foot on. He once had a teammate whose name was Jared, who he had done wrong to unintentionally, but Jared never seemed to forgive him.   They came up through the ranks together all the way to their senior year where both of them ended up being drafted by the Pittsburg Penguins. They were both climbing up the ranks on the team and found themselves to be two of the best on the team, let alone in the NHL. Time came and the captain of the Pittsburg Penguins at the time retired. The coach had two guys in mind to take his place, Tom and Jared. Tome was in the better position to take the job because of the connections he had made with the rest of the teammates, but Jared would not let this stop him.   Because way ba...
