Indian Epics

So far, I am satisfied with my progress in this class. I have 238 points right now and an A for the beginning of week 8 is 205 points. Basically, I am a week ahead which is what I wanted. I wanted the extra points just in case something happened in the future. I am proud to be ahead in this class. I do the reading assignments and story on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday accordingly. I try and do the end of the week assignments on Friday. The ones I do not finish I do on Sunday because I work all day Saturday. The class assignment I enjoy the most is creating my own story or story lab. Even though I had little to no experience in blogging, I think I have gotten the hang of it. I have even customized the design of my blog! I can't think of any changes I want to make because my progress in this class is going well. I want to avoid in getting behind in class. I also want to avoid "late" assignments even though we have a grace period in this class. I want to try and make the ...

Overall, I feel that the feedback that I am receiving is improving. The feedback is more specific and useful. I like the comments that are WWW feedback strategy. The part where they ask questions is the most useful part to me. It makes me see that there may have been a gap in my story or I  just need to clear something up. These comments give me another prospective so that I can improve my story. I believe or I would like to believe that the feedback that I am giving out is useful. I try to implement the WWW feedback strategy every time I am leaving feedback on a classmate's story. I do get good ideas for my own writing when as I analyze other people's writings. For example, some people make it a really modern concept or switch animals to humans or vice versa. I believe these things make the stories more interesting. I do feel like I am getting to know my classmates better by reading their blogs. Their introduction post was the best way to get to know my classmates. I noti...

Overall, I think the reading and writing assignments are going well. They are take more time than I would like because I go back and reread things I did not quite understand. I feel like I have to take it slower to actually understand the story just because this is all new to me. The names of the characters get confusing. However, I have noticed that I have been getting better at reading the stories as I get to know Indian Epics better. For example, I remembered who Hanuman was from Ramayana when I was reading Mahabharata. I am happy with my blog. I feel like it is more aesthetically pleasing to look at now than before. Before it was really plain, but I added some flowers to make it look pretty. Also, I like the display of the images from the stories. One of my favorite pictures is this picture of Sita pregnant with Ravana's children. It gave me inspiration to write a story of Sita's revenge against Rama. This allowed to get really creative with my story. People who have commen...
