This week I did the third part of the video extra credit reading. Although I didn't really take much from this on how I could create my own story, it did give me one possible thing that I thought about trying to approach in a story for my project involving dogs. As the video talks about the different God's and how people view them, I thought what if I had a story that involved a Dog talking about his own form of God's. I was thinking about a Dog talking about his master being like a worker for his Dog God but then splitting the God into three aspects. I was thinking it could be into a Survival, Love, and Sacrifice. I was thinking the Dog could talk about how these are the different style of God's but they tie into each other. I was thinking it could even be a example story where the dog gives examples of each of his God's work. This is a very strange concept and could be difficult to write, but I thought it could be fun in the sense of trying to create a story of belief based off an animal telling stories.As the video even talks about how beliefs apply to political aspects I was thinking about having a code of a Dog. This could even be a Ten Commandment type idea.
In terms of the video itself, I found that it did a good job describing each of the God's and what they do and represent. I find it hard to keep some of these people straight so it was nice to have detailed descriptions. Overall, this is a very abstract idea but it could possibly be done if I don't think about any other ideas for a fun Dog themed story. This could be a good opening topic for my portfolio, but then again it doesn't necessarily fit in with my other stories.
