My Favorite Place: Gulf Shores Alabama

 My favorite place is Gulf Shores, Alabama. This is where my family goes for vacation every other summer, and the town is absolutely beautiful! The sand is white and the locals are very friendly. Whenever I graduate I want to move somewhere near Gulf Shores. 

Here you can see how white the sand is, and how close the hotels are to the beach! Just walk a few steps and plant your chair right along the shore line. 
This image shows you how blue the ocean is despite Gulf Shores being in the Gulf of Mexico. It is also one of the safest beaches along the Gulf Coast with very few incidents being reported! 


I highly recommend visiting if you have not already!

    I have never been to any of the Alabama beaches, Sydnee, but reading your post makes me want to go there! I actually lived in Birmingham for a while, but never made it down to the coast. I don't know if you are interested in working on an Alabama-inspired project for this class, but there are some fantastic resources online for learning about Native storytelling traditions of the southeast, like this book online at Sacred Texts: Myths and Tales of the Southeastern Indians (I am a fan of free books online!)

Hello everyone! My name is Syd and I will be taking a Mythology and Folklore class this semester at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently a junior majoring in psychology with a minor in spanish!  My goal for my degree is to be a professor at a research institute like OU one day, or working for the FBI to analyze serial killers... I haven't quite decided which I find more exciting. As a kid, I grew up watching Criminal Minds, 48 hours, and NCIS most nights. My mother of course did not want me watching those things because I was 6 years old, but when she would go to sleep I would sneak into the living room and turn on the crime channel. I have always been fascinated by the idea that a normal person can suddenly turn into a violent killer. I have studied many famous killers like Ted Bundy for example. For my 9th birthday I got this really big book filled with all the most popular serial killers to date. Needless to say I read that thing everyday.  It is safe to say that my favori

Week 3 Story: The Town of Ishmiel

Image
There once was a man named Ezekiel who was cursed with a blind eye. People would stare and point whenever they saw him because his eye was as white as the snow that spread across the tundra. His mother told him not to worry and that some lady would come along and love him for who he was. However, Ezekiel was impatient and longed to find this lovely lady instead of waiting for her to come to him. He traveled for days at a time, looking for the one woman who would love him the way he is; but he had no success.  Just when Ezekiel began to give up all hope of finding his love, an angel came down from the heavens and proclaimed "Ezekiel you have been blessed, for the Lord has heard your cries for a lovely lady of your own and has decided to grant you with your wish". Ezekiel fell to his knees and wept tears of joy. His days of searching were behind him. The angel then said "go to the town of Ishmiel and find the most beautiful suitor, for she is waiting for you".  Ezekie
