To start, I believe my reading notes are extremely successful. I have made it a priority to only include what I admire in the story as well as pointing out specific plot points that seem intriguing. In doing this, I am am to look back at my reading notes when I am trying to begin my story so I can find inspiration. Every week this as worked as I have been able come up with story ideas while using my reading notes. The reading notes present the perfect tool to craft the story. I have taken full advantage of the situations in these stories as well as specific characters traits so I can decide how I will manipulate and morph them in my story. For future readings, I definitely want to read the graphic novels as this visual representation of the two epics would allow my brain to get a better idea of the characters. As for my stories, I am completely satisfied with the reception. I have been able to use the comments from other students as well as the comments from my emails to enhance my stories. Picking the portfolio project was a wise decision as I am never content with sticking to one theme. With the portfolio, I am able to add several different kinds of stories and display them in one place. After reading the stories of my classmates, I have really admired how they are able to combine daily situations with the characters from the epics. I really want to focus on this in the upcoming weeks. Most of my stories have taken place in the epics and I think the idea of sending these characters into our reality would be exciting. Overall, I am pleased with how this semester as gone and I'm eager to see what awaits.
