An Introduction

Hi! Welcome to my blog. To start I'm going to give the inspiration behind my blog name (because why not). I love penguins, sometimes even calling myself one, so that is where the first half comes from. With a book is because I love to read. If I had it my way that would be one of the only things I would do. (I want a job where I can do just that.)

I have a fluffy, lazy, white cat names Snowball. Emphasis on fluffy and lazy. I enjoy acting if there is an opportunity. I really want to travel to Italy, one of the reasons being because of all the history there.

The purpose for this blog is for the Great Books program at Faulkner University and to share work and thoughts related to the course. If you come away from here with a new idea, that's great! It will be interesting other's thoughts.

    I enjoy acting as well! What kind of roles do you like to act out the most?

      Almost any kind. If they have a sense of sass or wit I like that. As long as I don't have to sing.

Creative Essay: Atalanta

Just what I wanted. A girl. They serve no purpose and a boy would have been so much better. Girls do not rule kingdoms. But no, I, King Schoeneus, was not fortunate enough to have an heir. A frown forms on my face as I look down at the child. The slaves are trustworthy enough, but not for this task, so I take it upon myself to perform the deed. I take the infant up in my arms and to a hill on the outskirts of the palace near the forest and throw her off. Do I feel remorse at tossing my child out into the elements like this? No, and in fact I soon forget that the female was even born. Years pass and I still have no son sired to me. Who is supposed to take over the throne when I am gone? Offerings are made to the gods multiple times and still they do not bless my family. There is only one action left that I know to take: Visit the Oracle. The journey will be hard but I need to know if there is any hope. I take two servants and provisions with me. I have already prayed for protection b...

Contract Course: Newton and Leibniz: Influenced and Influencing

People influence others, either for the better or for the worse. This fact is clearly seen in the priority dispute between Isaac Newton, an English mathematician and scientist, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a German mathematician and lawyer, over the invention of fluxions, or differential calculus, calculus concerned with derivatives and differentials, as a result of both releasing their findings around the same time. Claiming priority was important because the person received the recognition for their accomplishment, thereby showing that anyone else that published similar theories was most likely copying. Newton and Leibniz had multiple areas of influence, including other mathematicians, journals, or colleagues. The men would not have gotten to the point they were at in their knowledge and careers if it were not for multiple parties. The priority dispute over calculus was heavily influenced by the people who supported or criticized Newton and Leibniz, whether in the early or later st...
