Homer's Odyssey

     I think that the Odyssey is one of the greatest adventure stories. I've always liked adventure epics, so this story could give me a lot of ideas for my own version. There's literally infinite possibilities with a story like this. I'd certainly like to gain inspiration from it.

Infancy Gospels

     I've read some of the infancy and gnostic gospels about Jesus' birth and the miracles he performed as a young child. I thought they were extremely fascinating and definitely something worth exploring more. I could see myself getting a lot of story ideas from this topic. 

Ancient Egyptian Myths and Stories

     I don't know a lot about ancient Egyptian mythology as I haven't studied it in-depth. It seems like it could be as broad as Greek Mythology. If that's the case, there's a ton of stories waiting for me to read. I'm interested in learning more about Egyptian myth for sure. 

Alaskan Legends

     Like Egyptian mythology, Native American mythology is something that I haven't gone in-depth with. There's a large variety of Native American cultures to study. I chose Alaska because there seems to be somewhat of a mystery to Native Alaskan culture and folklore. It'll be interesting to see what I can uncover and how can adapt the stories I write about.

Ethan Kahn Introduction

Hello! My name is Ethan      Hello ya'll! My name is Ethan Kahn. I'm a student-athlete here at the University of Oklahoma. If  you insist on knowing what sport, I'm a gymnast. I compete for the OU men's gymnastics club team.  We are 4-time national champions!  Personal Photo      Let's get to the stuff that has to do more with me personally though. I was born in Buffalo, New  York. My family and I moved down here to Norman, Oklahoma when I was 5 years old.             I have one sibling, an older brother. He goes to OU as well. My brother and I are practically  opposites. He's spazzy and extroverted while I'm calm, cool-headed and more introverted. He likes  cool colors like blue and purple while I tend towards warm colors like red and orange. Even our  majors are quite different. He's in pre-dentistry and I'm a philosophy major.             Speaking of philosophy, I love to think about, well, everything.

Week 6 Story: A Documentation of Pre-Flood Earth

A Documentation of Pre-Flood Earth Og the Mighty Pre-Flood Giant      Bibliography. Folk-lore of the Holy Land: Moslem, Christian, and Jewish  by J. E. Hanauer.  Web Source      Back before the Great Flood, the Earth was an alien landscape. Its inhabitants were of a much  mightier kind than today and many other intelligent races, besides humans, roamed the surface.  Demons, elves, fairies, unicorns, dwarves, orcs etc. you name it, but by far, the most terrifying and  intimidating people were the giants. 'Giant' isn't a good enough term. Rather, Titans would be a more  befitting name of those country-stomping monsters.       The 'normal' ones stood 3,000 ells (2.13 miles) in height ( The Book of Enoch - R.H. Charles  version ). Some were far larger! When Og, king of the giants, stretched out on the ground before his  death, his body reached from Banias to Lake Merom ( Holy Land - Noah ). That's a full 4.66 miles  ( Dis
