Week 13 Tech Tip: Word Counter

I added word counter to google chrome because I found myself always having to type in the website or use the bookmark. I usually fall short of the word minimum but sometimes can guess on how many words I have which helps a lot. I suggest everyone gets this added because it does help when I am creating a story or even commenting.

Week 6 Story: The Boss and The Secretary

Image
There was a manager who operated a business and was busy all the time. He never had time to relax because people were bothering him constantly for his time.  Even the smallest things like just replying to simple text message made him upset because he felt like he didn't have time for it. He then asked his boss who was the head of all the business about what he should do and the boss said he should simply hire an assistant. He said an assistant could do all the things he does not want to do. After thinking about this for a while he decided to actually hire an assistant.  The assistant was the best person for the job because for the first time in a long time the manager was relaxed because his assistant was doing all the small things he did not want to do. The assistant didn't mind doing all the small things because she was getting paid very well and she had the title of Senior Assistant.

Reading Notes: California and the Old Southwest Part A

Reading all of these stories was really interesting. It shows how the California tribes came up with their own idea of how the world was started and how little things came to be. The first stories were mostly about how the Sun and the Moon started along with the creation of man. Most of them had different stories but it was mostly the same. It wasn't surprising to me that for the Native American stories they started out with animals in most of them. I have a little bit of prior knowledge and know that animals mean a great deal to the Native Americans. They treat animals with much respect and only kill when they need to. I realized while reading the stories that in the California Native American tribes they talk a lot about coyotes. They hold them in such high esteem and even in some stories they talk about how life started because of the coyotes. It doesn't surprise me because it is the West Coast and there is a lot of coyotes to this very day so I imagine that back then they

I decided to change the title of one of my stories to try and draw some attention of the readers and also wanted the title to match the story more.  At the beginning of time there was one tribe of Native Americans that lived in the Mississippi Valley. They had no contact with other tribes but knew they were out there. The only way they were able to survive was because the animals in the forest would come and help them. Some would bring vegetables so that the tribe could eat while others would bring other dead animals so that the Native Americans could use them. Whenever the tribe received an animal they would respect it by praying first and then use the entire animal. They wouldn't disrespect the animal by not using all the parts. They believed that since the other animals were bringing them the dead animals the least they could do was to respect the animals that brought them. One day an animal brought a plant to the tribe and placed it near the fire pit. One of the Native Am
