Week 2 Reading Overview:

For week 3 I am wanting to choose to use the audio version.

Comic Books:

-Ganga: The Divine Beauty: Story

-I like that it sounds like greek mythology. I think that the phrase “drink up the whole ocean” is hilarious. I do not know why but I just picture a giant with a huge straw and making a funny face because it tastes horrible. This story also just kind of seems a bit dark. Sacrificing is kinda scary concept to me.

-Ganesha: The Remover of all Obstacles: Story

-I have seen this imagery of this elephant person and would like to understand / know the story behind this character. It isn’t anything that I am familiar with and will be interesting knowing where it comes from.

Videos:

-Hindu Creation Stories:YouTube

These are all stories that are aiming to give people morals to live by. In other words, allowing the reader to bypass mistakes and take lessons learned by those in the stories.

-Rama & the Ramayana: Crash Course World.. YouTube

I like this video because Crash course is a trusted source. I have used them in other classes and I like learning about things in a more academic setting rather than a person who may believe stories to be 100% fact so that way there is less bias in the information that I am given.

On him grows plenty of mold. Gazing into his blood red piercing eyes Could result in one’s demise. His skin was grey as ash, But he’s a messy eater so there is a red splash.

Reading A: Babbitt. More Jataka Tales Image Title : More Jataka Tales Author : Ellen C. Babbitt Illustrator : Ellsworth Young Year : 1922 The Girl Monkey and the String of Pearls : This is a really fun concept for a story and would be great to turn into a rhyme The Three Fishes : This is very short but would make a cute rhyme. I like how it portrays what happens if you don't think through your actions and are lazy. The Tricky Wolf and the Rats : This is a different version of the cat story I added to my website.
