Reading Notes: Part A, Week 3

Bibliography: Ahalya by Ralph T.H. Griffith

I liked the format of this story, because it was laid out like a poem. This story revolves around Indra and Ahalya's complicated relationship, which becomes a problem in the eyes of Gautama. Indra diguises himself as Guatama, trying to get with Ahalya. Once Gautama found out of all this, he cursed both of them for their wrongdoings. In my opinion, I don't think Ahalya should have been cursed, so if I were to write a story over this one, I'd change up those parts. Although Rama saves Ahalya, I would most likely have gone about things differently.

Reading poetry is much more amusing to the eye and I feel as if I am more engaged when things are written out like poems. I am able to act in out in my head as I read it and have some fun while I'm at it.

Bibliography: Rama Wins Sita by Donald A. Mackenzie

I also like the formatting of this story, because it is easy to read and also uses a poetic style. This story revolves around Rama and his efforts to win Sita as his bride. In previous readings, he has been love struck with Sita and attempts to win her over. I also like how this story was going here and there, marking some anticipation. The climax was built pretty well and was keeping me deeply engaged on what I was reading. Although, these stories are a little tough to read, because it's formatted differently and has mythical features.

Introduction to the simple life of Paul

My Life My name is Paul Choi and I am currently a senior here at OU. My major is Information Studies, which is within the College of Arts and Sciences Department.

I plan to pursue a career in cyber security for which ever company gives me an opportunity to do so. I am currently taking my capstone, which is the most exciting class I've taken so far in my history of classes and I plan to try extra hard so that I can stand out to the clients we are working with. This capstone is similar to an internship due to the fact that we work with different clients and perform a plethora of tasks, which range from designing websites to creating databases.          Apart from my college life, I like to do many things outside of school. One thing in particular would be just hanging out with my friends and enjoying some drinks while we talk about some deep internal issues th

Week 5 Story: Jess and Jones

Jess and Jones One summer day, the water was glistening and birds chirping. It had been a fine summer with everything going mighty fine. Out in the fields with cows and horses, there was a house that managed it all. The household of Mr. Madison, who was well-known for his pure humor and intelligence. He had two son, Jones and Jackson, who were everything to him. Jones had a wife, Jess, who was a beloved daughter of Mr. Madison's dear friend. As relationships were sturdy and people were happy, it seemed as if almost nothing went wrong.  On a gloomy afternoon, when everyone had gone out except Jess, there had been weird noises outside. Jess went to take a look, but as she opened the door, a tall man stood there with a grim on his face. Immediately, she saw that it had been Jones's arch enemy, Luther. Luther was a man of extreme sorrow and brought along negative vibes all around him. He had never been happy since the day Jones was able to have Jess. Since their high school
