Reading Notes: Sita Sings The Blues, Part A

I enjoyed the first half of Sita Sings The Blues! It was very interesting to see a film tell a story from 3 different perspectives. At first the 3 different cartoon designs really threw me off, but then I realized it was because it was different for each perspective. My favorite perspective was definitely from the storytellers. They had small hints of humor while they told the story, and also simplified it way more than the actual Ramayana we read. They only told the parts that really mattered, and then sometimes they would put in a fun fact. I think one of my favorite parts overall was how simplified the Ramayana was that you could still follow the story well even when she was singing a song that only talked about how much she loved Rama. If I were to change anything about this particular video I  probably would have kept it from the story tellers point of view, and used the cartoony design for all of the characters instead of switching back and forth. I also would probably get rid of the couple's storyline all together, or use them to represent Sita and Rama instead of having Sita and ramas story get told at the same time they story is going. 3 stories at one time is kinda hard to follow. Overall, the simple cartoon designs were fun to watch, and the movie was fun to follow! Can't wait to finish it up :)

    I also watched the animated film version and I thought it was so fun! Obviously in the parts that were sad, it was not so much fun. However, seeing the story in this format was incredibly interesting. I did not even expect there to be a film version of this for some reason. I was glad this was an option for us to view because it was great!

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

Image
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...
