Week 2 Reading Overview

-

 For the Ramayana we will be reading next week, I decided to choose the Public Domain Edition: Ramayana. I chose this edition because its various styles and authors. I think it will make it easier to choose different plot elements to tell my own story. I also like that the Public Domain Edition contains lots of illustrations while the modern editions contain none at all. I can possibly use the illustrations used in the reading for my blog posts. The Public Domain Edition overall features some key factors I could not pass up, as I feel they will go a long way in making my assignments easier. One of the comics I chose was Vishvamrita: The King Who Became an Ascetic. I chose this one because the story sounds amusing, it is about a King who the greatest of all sages. The second comic I chose is The Sons of Rama: Luv and Kush -- The Invincible Twins. I chose this one because of the title, the idea behind invincible twins was too intriguing to pass up. The video I chose is Foods for Gods which goes through a number of different things immortal gods are said to consume. Learning the different beverages and foods that immortal gods eat sounded interesting as well as the fact that the video was pretty short. The other video I chose is The Greatest Twins, simply because it fits with one of the comics I had chosen. I chose the image below because it is a picture of Yama, which is one of the twin deities. Yama is known as the lord of death ad after-life.

 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave.

The Streets Tyrone and Sasha were a very loving couple and have gone through a lot together. They were together when Tyrone was arrested and sent away to live on his own.

However, through it all, they have stayed together and have managed to keep their relationship intact. This was until the rumors had started. Many rumors were surfacing that Sasha was not kidnapped by her crazy ex-boyfriend, but that she had left on her own accord to be with him.
