Extra Reading: Nursery Rhymes

-
I decided to explore different readings from future weeks in the book. I have been eagerly waiting for the week where I will be able to read nursery rhymes, so I went ahead and started reading a few. My favorite nursery rhyme from the options is "Peter Piper." I have always loved this nursery rhyme because I can remember being young and always trying to master the tongue twister that is present in this nursery rhyme. When I was reading it, it brought me back to those days. It is a very simple nursery rhyme, but it is also very complex in the way it is written. That is why I love it so much now and can appreciate it so much more as an adult. Nursery rhymes has always been interesting to me because they are all so creative. Peter Piper is extremely unique and creative, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to be taken back into my childhood.

    Hi there!
    I also love nursery rhymes! Since I am Indian, my parents never read me nursery rhymes nor did I ever explore it myself when I was younger. Once I got older, my teachers would read some during class. That's how I started to love them! Not only are they creative, but it is like a little word game! Like you, Peter Piper is one of my favorites!

Hi y'all! My name is Madeline Heath and I am a senior at OU - every time I say that I am a senior, I get a little more sad to be leaving. Here at OU I am graduating with a Bachelor Degree in Health and Exercise Science, however my academic career will not end in the Spring. Post graduation, I am attending Dental Hygiene school to further my love for science and helping others. One interesting (very, very weird) fact about myself is that I LOVE school and studying. My friends always joke with me saying that studying is probably my biggest passion. A little background from me: I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado - more specifically in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Although I loved living in Colorado, I always knew I wanted to attend college out of town. Everyone always asked me why I would ever choose to leave Colorado to go to Oklahoma. I often laugh because leaving the mountains and crisp air for cloudy and humid sounds a little crazy. However, Oklahoma has b

The Vampire and His Wife Once upon a time there was this beautiful young lady. She was blonde, had blue eyes and was average height. She was 22 years old and desperate to find love. One day, her friend sat her down and asked her what she is looking for in a man. “Tall, dark and handsome,” she blurted out immediately. The young lady searched for hours a day in hopes that she would meet her Prince Charming. She felt pressure to find love so quick because she was the only friend without it. She grew envious of her friends and was determined that 22 would be the year she was going to get married. One day, the young lady and her friend set out to the town to search for a man. They passed by many good-looking men, but the young lady was not satisfied. “Maybe we should just give up and try another day,” the young lady said in disappointment. Her friend declined her request and decided to take the young lady to one more place before she could give up. The young lady and her friend
