Reading Notes: Babbitt. More Jataka Tales, Part B

-
For this reading note, I am writing about Beauty and Brownie by Ellen C. Babbitt. This story was about two deers named Beauty and Brownie. The corn fields were getting ripe so it was season that was dangerous for deers to be around because hunters would leave out traps. Beauty and Brownie's father warned them of this and asked them to take their herds and to go to some high hills until the season was over. The father also advised them to travel only in the night so they would not be seen by the hunters. So Beauty and Brownie set off with their herds to the high hills. However, Brownie did not forgot what his father said and traveled in the daylight. He herded his herd straight into some hunters and lost some of his herd. Beauty remembered what his father had told him and did not lose one deer. When the season was ending, the two herds headed back to the forest. However, Brownie still did not learn his lesson. He traveled in broad daylight again and lost more of his herd. Both Beauty and Brownie returned home, but Brownie returned with less deer. If I were to retell the story I would change Beauty and Brownie's names with something with more meaning. I looked up Beauty and Brownie but they still had the definitions I thought they would. For example, the name for beauty will be Hugo because "Hugh" means mind and intellect (Mom Junction). I could not find a name that means stupid because I do not think anyone would like to name their child stupid so I will just make one up.

Hello, my name is Joanna Yoon. I am a student of the University of Oklahoma. I am a junior majoring in biology pre-medicine. I am also minoring in chemistry and Spanish. I chose biology pre-medicine as my major for my dream job, a neonatal doctor. When I was in high school, I volunteered for two years in the neonatal intensive care unit at Integris Hospital. It was then I realized that I wanted to do more for these babies. At a young age, these babies were already facing complications, and I wanted to be the doctor who made them healthy. Currently, I volunteer at Norman Regional Hospital and a free clinic called Manos Juntas. Along with volunteering, I work two jobs. I work at Charlestons in Norman on weekends as a server and a lab technician at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation on weekdays. To take a break from all this work, I have a dog. He is an Australian Shepherd whose name is Rocky after my favorite rapper A$AP Rocky. I got him last summer, and it’s been quite a jour...

Note: This story is now part of my  Porfolio  website. This website will have the more current version. In a swamp you could hear the hungry whines of a young crocodile. "Dad, I am so hungry! I think I might die if I don't eat soon. We haven't eaten in 2 days," said the young crocodile. "I know son, but there are no animals left for us to eat," said the crocodile. "I am so hungry I might even try to eat the fruits off of the trees,",said the young crocodile. "Well let me know when you can climb up a tree," said the crocodile chuckling. "Better yet, how about you bring that monkey so we can eat him," said the young crocodile with his eyes gleaming and his stomach growling. "Son, the monkey is my friend. I don't eat my friends," said the crocodile. However, as the days went on the crocodile became hungrier and his son's whining became louder. "Fine, I will convince the monkey that this is like any ...
