Reading Options



Exploring the class resources, I immediately found the music. It's pretty great to listen to while writing these blog posts. I'll probably be putting it on anytime I do the readings as well, just to zone out with the perfect background noise. It's also interesting how there are Indian versions of English productions.

After tuning in to the YouTube playlist, I started looking into the comic books. These seem pretty interesting if I ever get the time to go over and see the collection in the library.

By far, I have spent the most time looking through the image collection. I really like how there are actual paintings, but also photos of sculptures included in the collection. It's a nice sampling of the different depictions of stories with different media. I know we will be looking into Rama and Ravana at some point, so I spent a bit of time looking through the images concerning them, and one that caught my eye is below. I'm looking forward to learning this story, but also learning more about Ravana and why he has so many limbs. 

Rama and Ravana

I've bookmarked all three of these resources, because I know I can easily use them later in the semester. Additionally, I did spend a little time going over the plans for readings, and I'm really intrigued by the different versions of both the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. It's going to be neat looking at the differences in the versions.

Introduction to the Rocket Scientist

As the title says, I am an aspiring rocket scientist. More precisely, I am Aerospace Engineering student. And that little descriptor about sums up my favorite things. I am in my final semester of college and absolutely cannot wait to graduate. I am more than ready to get into the work force and start building the future. To prepare for this future, I have done a lot of stuff in my college career. This includes, but is not limited to, building rockets, robots, and cleaning up asbestos. Don't worry, I'll explain more in a minute. Starting from the easiest thing on that list; robots. I am the vice-president of the Sooner Competitive Robotics here at OU. This means I get to be a technical adviser for each of the robotics teams and make that they have everything they need to succeed. I also get to help them when they mess up their robots, and cant get them to work right. Robots are great, but coding really kind of sucks, which is why I prefer to stick with my rockets an

Week 2 Story: The Alpaca and the Beasts

Image
In days long past, there was a great and prosperous kingdom suddenly ravaged by drought and hardship. The once green fields had turned brown, and beasts prowled the countryside. Farmers fled from their herds, leaving for the safety of the keeps. For the beasts, oxen were tough to hunt, as they banded together in large groups for protection. A lone beast watched the largest herd and had a great idea, he would have the oxen voluntarily come with him alone. "Friends!" Exclaimed the beast as he boldly approached the herd. "Why are you staying here where the grass has died? There lies a lush meadow on the far side of the forest." "Come no further beast. We know of your kinds hunger." Proclaimed the largest of the bulls. "And why would we go through that forest; it holds the den of your brothers." "I have no hunger for oxen, your meat is too tough. I think only of your well being. As for my brothers, I know a path upon which they wont
