Reading Notes: Ramayana, Section A

I would like to have a focus on Rama, as he is my favorite character in the Ramayana. I want my story to have a Romeo and Juliet feel to it when someone is reading it. There will be more dialogue and I will have a section where Rama and Sita actually meet and find a way to converse with each other, depending on the time period I choose to have the setting. If it is modern, then they will come up with a way to talk via phones. If the setting is still at the same time period as the book currently is, they will use carrier pigeons to communicate. It will definitely be slower, but they will still be able to express their love for each other. 

When Rama is exiled, I want him to go through the jungle and find an abandoned home to live in. He will live there with Sita and Lakshmana. When Dasharatha dies, I will write about how hard it is for him without any of his sons being there with him as he takes his last breath. When his wife jumps in the flames, I will dramatize this scene and make it more detailed and interesting.

I also want to write more about Vishnu and how he divided himself into 4 parts and became born as the 4 sons of Dasharatha. I find this part really interesting so I will research more about it and incorporate it into my storytelling.

I would like some background information included in my story so that I can explain why Rama was blue. I also will include, after extensive research, why Rama was the favorite out of the four sons. Rama is my favorite character so my story will be based on him and all of the scenes will be from his point of view.

Introduction to a Future Nurse

Image
My name is Shivani Gandhi and I am a senior psychology major at the University of Oklahoma. The coolest thing about my major is that it can be utilized in pretty much any field out there. A person knowledgeable about psychology can assist anyone and some companies have a special position for people who have studied psychology. I love school and I will try my best to make any class fun and I think of classes as a stepping stone to where I need to be. I try to make them enjoyable by relating them to concepts I will have to face in the future and how these classes will help me get there. My favorite and best class from last semester was Human Sexuality with Professor Dennison because I loved the way he taught the subject. He was funny and made the topics not embarrassing to talk about on a daily basis. I also learned some pretty useful things in the class that will help me in the future. My biggest accomplishments last semester were completing and submitting my application for Nursing a...

Turtle graffiti. Source: Pixabay   Long, long ago, there was a castle in the foothills of the of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania, was an elegant castle fit for the king of kings. At this castle lived King Arjun and his 2 daughters, Eshani and Karishma. One day, on a warm autumn evening, the two girls went out to play in the valley, not far from the castle. After playing with the rocks and mud by the river, Eshani and Karishma came across a strange looking creature upon a hill that resembled a dragon and became fearful. "Should we go tell father?" asked Eshani. "Yes, let's go before it destroys the valley and heads for our home!" said a concerned Karishma. The girls quickly ran inside and screamed for their father. King Arjun was in the middle of polishing his armor when the girls interrupted him. "What is going on?" said King Arjun in a firm and slightly agitated manner. "There is a dragon in the river that runs through the valley...
