Storybook Plan

 For the storybook project, I plan on writing in continuation of the myth of dragons in various Asian cultures, such as Japan, Chinese, and Korea. I have found that, although, from differing cultures, these creatures of ancient stories have more similarities than they do differences. One of the idea I have is to create all the stories of various dragons, but they are all related to one another. For example, for one story, I might depict a dragon who's main domain is in China while in another, I will have one in Japan, and they are all blood related and connected. Therefore, there might be the possibility of a story of one dragon that is the greatest ancestor of them all.

Some sources I'd like to include would be from the Joly and Project Gutenburg. Some stories I would want to include are:  The Dragon's Pearl,  The Dragon in Japanese Art, and Korean Water and Mountain Spirits.  Something that I am hoping to learn throughout this semester-long project is the underlying connectedness between these stories of countries that are so close together in proximity as well as some of the legends that were born from these stories. Myths were and are created to explain certain phenomenons while teaching some sort of lesson in the meantime.

 Hello! My name is Long, I'm currently a senior studying Microbiology Pre-Med route, and might I say, time has been going by way too fast for me right now. I remember just yesterday that I was a freshman entering the campus in Fall 2017 without a clue as to where my classes were. But, here we are, 5 semesters later, and I guess there's nothing you can do about it but try your best to catch up! Am I right? In the past two semesters, something that I was proud about was the matter that I achieved a 4.0 GPA in both of my busiest semesters of college so far. I know I'm giving myself a pat on the back right now, but seriously at some points during those semesters, I contemplated ripping off all my hair. I can say that, for me, 2019 has been a year of work after work after work, I couldn't find any time for myself. Spring 2019 I was pledging a fraternity. In summer, I was taking biochemistry every weekday for 2 months. And Fall 2019, I busied myself with 5 science-related cla

 The Lion in Love Once upon a time, there was a Lion, who was became madly in love with a human woman and had proposed the question of marriage to her parents. Seeing that the King of the Beast was at their door and asking for the hand of their daughter for marriage, they didn't know how to decline. The woman's parents did not want to anger the King of the Beasts Finally, the woman's father told the Lion, "We are honored by your interest in our daughter. However, seeing that she is small and weak, we fear that your own affection for our daughter can end up hurting her. Being that is the case, would you be willing to clip you claws and remove your fangs? Surely we would reconsider." The Lion, being so madly in love, did exactly what the parents of the woman asked. He went and got his sharp claws clipped and his large fangs removed. However, when he came back to the parents of the woman, the parents merely laughed in front of his face and denied them of his proposal
