=Short Story Unit Wordle Project - __The Princess and the Puma__=

**My Reflections on this Project:**
The short story unit really opened my mind to many other types of literature. While reading several stories by O. Henry such as __The Princess and the Puma__, I became acquainted with terms such as situational irony and character reversal. I became especially fond of the surprise twist at the end of all his stories. These stories will help me become a better writer in later life.

Being able to write my very own short story was an awesome experience. Now that I know how to write a O'Henry-like short story, I can maybe even move on to writing books. Hopefully by writing this I have generally gotten better with my skills as a writer, but I'm sure that I still have a lot to improve on.

=My Animoto Project based on __Waiting for the Rain__ by Sheila Gordon - media type="custom" key="18590968"=

This project helped me become more familiar with using the video maker "animoto". I learned how to create a digital story that established emotional connections through the pictures and music. This emotional connection I could improve on, but I hopefully did an okay job with this video that shows the story of South African apartheid.
