 Nursery Rhythms: What Really Happened

This title was the first one to jump out at me. As a kid you hear all the common nursery rhythms that seem so innocent, but as you get older you find out that they weren't so innocent after all but that there was a lot more to the story. It's kind of like in all kids shows they put adult humor or inappropriate jokes that you never got as a kid and just blew it over, but when you re-watch it as an adult... you find the authors/writers sneaky ways to make adult humor in their stories.

Alexa, How do I Get to Canterbury?

I love this because it starts with a title that is so realistic to our modern day life. 'Alexa' this 'Hey Google' that, it's our world. To turn it into a title and story, love that. Simple but on point and relevant. He had me captivated by his title but lost me with all the words in his stories I felt it 'General Prologue' was too. In an introduction it should be short and sweet so it captivities the read to want to keep reading more. I felt all his sections were too lengthy, but it also shows he was passionate about what he was writing which is always nice to see.

Welcome to Hell.

Another storybook I love! When I think of storybooks, I think of children's stories/tales, but this is so much more. The author of this storybook really got into his story, he wrote " Hell is not a place, but rather a state of mind. Our immoral actions do not send us to a horrible place when they die. They build up hell within reality with the consequences of their immoral actions." I love the way he worded this. It is exactly how I feel, written in words I was unable to say. 'A state of mind.. our immoral actions' what a great choice of words.

A big part of my college years has been being a part of Hillel at the University of Oklahoma. Hillel is the hub for Jewish life on OU's campus. I started my freshman year by helping lead Friday night services, Shabbat, by playing my guitar. I have been PR and engagement intern as well as a student representative on the Board of Directors. I have recently been promoted to staff as the Operations Associate. I basically do everything and everything, I'm super excited to start this semester in this position, even though it will be an unknown and crazy one.

Ramsey Bolton and Theon Greyjoy Everyday, Ramsey demanded his prisoner, Theon Greyjoy, go across the bridge and fetch dinner for Ramsey and his hound dogs. For over two years since his capture by the psychotic, bastard son, Ramsey Bolton, Theon had been beaten, abused and brainwashed to answer to the name of "Reek." After two years, Theon had enough, he had to find a way to get back home to his family, the Iron Islands. He put a plan together to lure Ramsey to a place no one would be able to hear him scream or come looking for him after Theon's plan was executed.    Once day, Theon finally gained the courage, he took his sweet time to get across the bridge.  When he returned, Ramsey shouted "Reek, why are you late?"  "I am sorry my lord," nervously said Theon. "I saw ghost of Robb Stark and I was frightened."  "Show me!" Ramsey commanded. "My hounds will follow as protection."  Theon took Ramsey and his hounds across the b
