Part A: The Lost Message

  • Ants have many enemies and anteaters live wholly from them
  • A few ants found it best to have a council meeting to make arrangments for a retreating place
  • They could not come to a decision
  • There were a red, rice, black, wagtail, gray, and shining ant as well as others
  • Thye discussed for a long time but came to no conclusion
  • each part decided it best to go their own way 
  • from among the ants, some had an appointed king and divided labor, unity could not be seen greater around the world
  • Each group did it in its own way and no one had a plan against birds or an anteater
  • Red ants built an underground house and the anteater destroyed it
  • Rice ants lied underground and the anteater visited them too nothing was better
  • Wagtail lived in the trees but a centipede laid waiting as well as the birds gobbled them up\
  • Gray decided to take flight but was stopped by the lizard hunting spider and the birds
  • Insect king heard there was no agreement made and sent them the secret of unity and work together
  • However, he chose is a messenger to be the beetle and he hasn't arrived at the ants so still to this day they embody the prey of enemies

One of the best classes I took last semester was Indian Epics. I enjoyed taking Epics it was the most fun class had during a hectic schedule last semester. Being able to create and control my schedule as well as the structure of the class, in general, made it very enjoyable. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going finishing the semester with a 4.0 in a total of 19 hours. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave.

 The Land of the Giants      The story begins with a proud warrior by the name of Octavio and his crew on a journey. Octavio had heard of a foreign place by the name of The Land of the Giants. He and his crew took 4 days to arrive there by ship. The only knowledge Octavio had of the Giants was that they were known to be aggressive and that they did not believe in labor.
