Week 8 Reading and Writing

So far in the seven weeks I've been reading stories and retelling them in my own way it has been an interesting time. At first I was worried about how I would be able to come up with anything because I don't think of myself at creative at all. Granted, a lot of my posts have been easy and not super creative but they have still been fun for me to do. I've done fairytales and simple things like that but I have had fun with the creative process.

I'm proud of what I have done so far and I can't wait to see what else I can do. Especially with the storybook process. My favorite reading has been the Ramayana, even though Rama really pissed me off at some points it was really intriguing. I think my biggest accomplishment has been just getting out of my comfort zone with writing and really trying to make my stories as good as they can be.

Looking forward, I'm just gonna keep trying to get out of my comfort zone and start coming up with different kinds of stories.


I chose this image from my last story because it has was one of my favorites to write. I really enjoyed it. It was kind of hard to find a part of the story to write about because I didn't really enjoy the Mahabarata, but I think it turned out well.

Growth Mindset: Cats

Using the randomizer I found a couple of cats that I really liked either because they were cute, funny, relatable, or all of the above! The first one was adorable and very accurate. I've found the more I write the better I get at it, especially when it comes to my personal statements. The second meme made me laugh. I've always been a goal setter and while it can be sad to miss your goal it's good to even get close to reaching it because there is always next time! Cat Meme 1 Cat Meme 2

Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana, Section C

This section picks up where B left off, Sita being captured by Ravana. I like that he came to her disguised as a hermit, it reminded me of when the evil queen came to snow white to get her to eat the poisoned apple. I think it would be really fun to make this into a sort of fairytale story, since Ravana can transfigure himself into different creatures. I could have him transform into a dragon and have Rama slay the "dragon" in order to get Sita back. Surgiva could be his trusted ally after finding Sita's jewelry. It could turn into an epic adventure where they cross an ocean, among other things in order to finally get to Sita. I really like this idea of a fairytale retelling of Rama saving Sita.
