So far in this class, I was really interested by the readings of book one and book two of the Popol Vuh. I think the personification of the animals and the trickery throughout the books are two aspects that greatly caught my interest. I liked how all of the trickery can be tied back to lessons and relate to the mistakes and faults of previous experiences in the story. It was interesting to link the trickery within the stories of the Popol Vuh to the life lessons and stories I've heard throughout my childhood.

First Blog
I titled my first blog enp28 on accident, I basically got really confused by this site, I'm not exactly computer literate. Enp28 is my first email address from way back in the day, like sixth grade or so. The three letters stand for my initials and the two numbers are my favorite numbers from every since I was little. I didn't exactly mean to make this my title, but for lack of better idea, it was the easy choice.

That's fine on the title. I kind if like it. You can go back and change it under "edit profile" if you want. The idea of trickery in the story is interesting, especially in the way that is links with previous events. It suggest a connection between time and inherited knowledge that you could explore in a paper.
