Week 2 Reading Overview

I have chosen the read from the Public Domain Edition, mainly because it is free and it is online. The audio was also a factor that drew me in, because in order to not let me focus draw elsewhere, I like to listen to the audio to keep me on track.

One of the comics that I am interested in is the story of Rama: Retold from the Ramayana . This character sparked my interest because his journey as a skilled archer seems intriguing and his journey to win his love is one that I would be like to read.

Another comic that drew me in was Ganga: The Divine Beauty. This drew me because of the theatricality of the story. It includes many parts, characters, and plots that all seem interesting to read how they tie together and progress.

The video that I liked the most was, "Harry Potter Meets Hindu Mythology". Just from the title, I was drawn in because I am an avid fan of Harry Potter. Any story that is similar to that series, is a story that would interest me.

Another video that I was personally drawn to was, "The Source- Who Created the Universe?" I like the topic of this video because I am always interested in other people's opinions and values on the origin of our world and how it was created. Everyone seems to have different set of beliefs so learning about different cultures and how they perceive it has always fascinated me.

My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town. It took a lot of humbling myself to finally admit I needed to make a change

Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar. Tucked away in a corner, was a plethora of gold bars. The girls had never laid their eyes on anything as precious and valuable as this. They were overcome with mixed emotions as they pondered what to do. Sarah thought they should leave it alone as the mother might notice they were gone, but Tara sugge
