Reading Notes: Ramayana, Part A


Rama Wins Sita
I loved this short story. It really did make me think of a fairytale! While I was reading it I thought it was just too easy for Rama. There really was no challenge. So I thought the story would be more interesting if instead of breaking a bow, it was shooting a bow and arrow, and you had to get a bullseye to win Sita. Once I thought of that plot change, I thought it would be even more dramatic if Rama didn't actually win and someone else did, leaning more towards a 'forbidden love' theme!

 Rama and Sita's Wedding
Rama winning Sita and marrying Sita would kind of go hand in hand, so I thought in my short story I could combine the two stories! Obviously Rama would be invited to the wedding since his siblings were getting married to Janak's other daughters. The story would have more 'wow' factor if Rama stood up in the middle of the ceremony and objected to Sita marrying another man.

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
