Week 8 Progress

 I feel great about my progress so far this semester. When I took Mythology and Folklore, I did not take advantage of beginning the class before the semester, so I really wanted to make sure that I do so with Indian Epics. Having the free time before school gave me the freedom to complete as much as possible, but with school starting now, I have to limit myself and find a more weekly routine. So far my favorite assignments have been the Microfiction. It is such a creative assignment and really challenges me to carefully select words to fit the 100 word requirement. I really wished I had it for Mythology and Folklore! Overall, I am happy with what I have done, especially with my blog and website,, and I look forward to finishing off strongly this semester. My goals are to make sure I do not slack off even with my progress and to maintain a weekly routine.

Kobe Bryant has always been one of my favorite athletes and his Mamba Mentality would want me to finish the class strong!

Week 9 Story: Bhima and the Nagas

Duryodhana was a jealous warrior. He could not stand if anybody was better him, no matter the competition. From archery to running to strength training, he saw how his Pandavas cousins performed at the highest marks. However, no made Duryodhana more angry than Bhima. Now Bhima was the best of the spot. He could bench over 300 pounds, squat 450 pounds, and run a mile in less than 6 minutes. No one could match him physically and for this Duryodhana plotted to get rid of Bhima. He knew he could not do it face to face combat, so he decided to poison his food during dinner. He extracted poison from the venomous King Cobra and sprinkled onto Bhima's dinner for the night. As Bhima took his first bites, he passed out and laid asleep on the ground. Duryodhana seizing his opportunity, gagged Bhima and threw into the holy Ganges for him to forever lie. Yet, as Bhima fell into the river it was fated by the gods that he was not to die. His destiny lied far ahead in the future. Thus when Bhima...

Week 14: More Jataka Tales Part B

 For Part B of Week 14 reading, I continued the Jataka Tales. Specifically for the week I read The Elephant and the Dog. What really sparked my interest to read the story was the title. As a fan of dogs and knowing the importance of elephants in Indian culture, I was curious to see how the two animals interacted in the story, and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved the heartwarming story of the dog and elephant's friendship and how they needed each other to live. It is always surprising to me how animals from different species are able to form friendships, but I think it highlights how even in animals, love and friendship has no boundary. If I were to retell the story, I would probably add a personal touch such as replacing the dog with my own dog, Max. He is a German Shepherd who loves to hang out with other dogs, so I think he quickly make friends with the elephant. Additionally, I think adding dialogue between the two animals could help showcase their friendship and add m...
