Reading Notes: Sita Sings The Blues, Part B

After finishing the film I was just sad. It was one thing to read the story of Rama and Sita, but another thing to watch it! There are so many things that I would have changed about the ending of the film. 1) I would have had Sita jump on Hanuman's back instead of causing Rama to kill hundreds of people (like the storytellers suggested). She didn't need revenge, she should have just been content with getting away from Ravana! 2) Rama would never have questioned her purity as much as he did, nor would he have banished her! I understand Sita loved him and was devoted to him, but that was crap and she shouldn't have put up with it. 3) I would have ended the story with Rama and Sita, and the cartoon characters actually living happily ever after! It was all just sad and depressing!

I enjoyed the film though, and the way it told the Ramayana! It was very fun to watch.

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...
