Reading Notes: The Foolish, Timid Rabbit


-Similar to Chicken Little
-There are a lot of different animals in this story. This makes me think about how one person that has a crazy idea or even a piece of gossip can influence a whole crowd of people. 

-As I read this story, I really keep going back to gossip. I assume that all of these animals were not friends, but they all ended up hearing about the Earth breaking up and this affected each of them. This is just like gossip. You may only tell your best friend about some juicy tidbit that you heard, but then she can go tell another friend, and that friend could tell two people and so on and so forth. 

-Sometimes we take what we perceive to be happening as fact rather than trying to find out what really happened

-This shows me that we should always assess the situation before reacting and letting something small get out of hand. 

-What if the Monkeys in the story were looking to make the rabbit uneasy. What if they wanted to cause unrest among all the other animals and strike fear into their hearts. 

-What if the Lion went along with all of the other animals and everyone turned to mass panic

-I think there should have been some sort of lesson taught at the end to show us why we cannot fail to assess every situation before turning to panic.

Introduction to My Dream Life

All About Me Hello! My name is Bailey DeFilippo. I am a senior political science major. I chose to be a political science major because I wanted to go into federal law enforcement. I have recently changed my academic course and I have decided to go to graduate school next year for social work. I am hoping to be accepted into the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University. After completing graduate school I would like to go into clinical social work and work with underprivileged children.  Some things that I enjoy are: listening to both country and christian music, watching Friends on Netflix, and spending time with my fiancé and my family. I also enjoy watching my younger brother play basketball and baseball. He has just signed to play baseball at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. We are all very proud of Chase!  I also enjoy traveling with my family. About a year ago, my parent bought an RV. Since then, we have taken quite a few trips together! We have

Story, Week 11

Looking Back As Julia sat on the big comfy chair by the foggy window in the coffee shop she took in everything. It was a normal New York afternoon, cloudy skies, a brisk breeze, and the sky looked as if it was about open up heavy rains on the city. In this moment, Julia could not be more content. She was looking out on her favorite city while sipping the best latte. She thought to herself, “ my life is perfect, I cannot believe I almost missed out on this ” .   Julia thought back to a year ago when she refused to move to New York City because she was afraid and did not think she would be successful. She remembered arguing with her parents and telling them that they had no business in where she lived and that they should stop pressuring her to move. Julia almost let out a small giggle because she was so silly to think that this move would have been anything but beneficial. When Julia first arrived in New York, she was really here for the inspiration that this big city would
