Review

As I am scrolling through the newsfeed for class I came upon this Proverb that was spoke to me.

"The second-best is now." That really stood out to me because it is the truth. Trees are vital for human survival and we need to plant them. This proverb can be applied to various things. The best time to take action is in the now. Rather than waiting 10 years from now, we can make changes now.
I also watched a video called, "Mythical Trees." Trees vary in size and shape having different meanings and representations depending on one's beliefs. One tree I think of is the Yggdrasil tree which connects the various worlds within Norse mythology.

Week 3 Story: Kooni's Origin

*Note* I have an updated version of my story for my Portfolio on: Carlo's Epics of India "What a freak!" "What an ugly hunchback!" "No one will ever love her." These were the words Kooni heard everyday since her birth. Her own parents did not even want her. Her deformities were too much to handle. Therefore, they dumped her in the Ganges. However, a lovely elderly lady found the baby left in the Ganges and picked her up and raised her.                                                                             This is how Kooni wished she looked growing up during her childhood.

He was bringing his beautiful wife Kaikeyi, and their son Bharatha. Koon...

Week 7 Story: Churning of the Ocean

Image
One day there was a quite an ill tempered sage by the name of Durvaasa. He was traveling one day when he noticed a divine woman who happened to be wearing a garland of flower. He thought the woman was beautiful, yet he thought the garland of flowers were even more beautiful. Thus, he asked the divine beauty for the flowers. She hesitantly gave Sage Durvaasa the flowers, for if she said no to the Sage's request he may have cursed her. Durvaasa left happily with his garland. The god Indra then came down to earth on his elephant named. Airaavat. Durvaasa payed his respect to Indra by giving him the garland. Indra then put the garland on his elephants head. Airaavat then shook the garland off his head and smashed it with his huge feet. This made Durvaasa extremely upset, for he had a bad temper.

She was found within the Earth, and her parents knew from the moment they saw her, that she would be a blessing. As Sita grew older she constantly hung around her sister, Umila, and her cousins. When she became of age to marry, her father began looking for a suitable man for her. A young man by the name of Rama was perfect for Sita. He was strong and wise beyond his years.

Lakshmana, Rama's younger brother joined both, for he supported Rama, Within the wilderness, they encountered many challenges, yet they were able to ...
