Topic Brainstorm

After some research I narrowed my project ideas to 4 options!

  • The god's/devas
    • Being a Christian always leaves me interested in learning more about other gods/deities out there. I think this project will be a perfect way to learn more about the Hindu religion since so many of their gods are portrayed throughout all the stories. I took a Non-Western dance course here at OU a couple of years ago, and when we learned about India we also had to learn about their religion! We didn't cover enough information for me to learn as much as I would have liked, so I would love to have a project centered around the idea of someone exploring the god's, their stories, and how they differ from one another. It would probably be best to tell the story from a 3rd person point of view in order to convey the comparing and contrasting I would love to do! 
  • Music
    • I love music! You don't have to know what the singer is saying to enjoy a song, you can still be moved by music simply through all of the instruments used. Music styles are different in every country, and I would love to explore India's! I would love to have a project centered around the music/instruments used through out the epics and their part played in the stories. 
  • Food/Culture
    • India has always fascinated me, and I have always wanted to learn more about their culture. I think it would be so much fun to have a project about the food through out the epics and maybe festivals or traditions that come into play. I assume most of their traditions and festivals have to do with stories of their gods, so I think I could orchestrate a project to tie together all of these things. Then if I had time in my week I could always try to make the Indian food I talk about in my blog and provide a recipe! 
  • Traveling India
    • This might be the best project idea for my to pursue, because through it I can include food, music, and research about the Hindu gods depending on where my character "travels". Then as my character 'travels' through India and it's culture, I can be exploring through them!

    Hey Briana!
    It sounds like you have really founds some good topics to go over. The Gods and Devas would be a cool one, I just commented on another project post, Ruben, where he chose to do Gods an Devas, but your path for the story is very different! I like the analytical approach to the Gods and Devas.
    Music would also be a very interesting topic to go with. It would give you a lot of liberty since the majority of the coursework is reading you could read between the lines and guess what the epics would have sounded like.
    Food and culture strikes me as my favorite and would as be very unique, much like the traveling India. It sounds like you will have a hard time deciding which one to choose!

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...
