Reading Notes: Sacred Tales of India

For these last four weeks of free reading, I chose to read the Sacred Tales of India by D. N. Neogi. I am going to be doing my reading notes over part C today.

The Gander-Eater

in the country of Kalinga there lived a poor widow brahman who only had one son
she had placed her son in the village school
this schoolwas full of hopefuls who came from good families and were destined to do great things
once the kids were talking about what they ate at home
all the weathly kids explained that they had plenty of fish to eat
while the poor son only ate vegtables
he bagan to cry and went home asking his mother why everyone ate so good while all they ate was vegtables
the mothers explained that that was all that she could afford for their family so they would not starve
he was a spoiled child and demanded that they eat better food
he told her if she could not get it for them, then he would get it himself
he stayed true to his word
that night she saw a dead gander as he was preparing to cook it for dinner
she was terrified
she didn't want to say anything to upset him
thenext morning the kingsmen realized a gander was missing
they sought out to find it
they found feathers by the widows house
they captured the boy and the king sentenced him to imprisonment
the mother was crying and begging for help
she saw people on thestreets worshipping a goddess
so she did the same in hopes to save her son
the goddess was pleased with this widow and agreed to help
she appeared in the castle and persuaded the king to release the son of one of her worshippers
the goddess also requested that. once the son was released he should be married to the kings son
the king obeyed in terror.

Introduction to the not so Fabulous Life of Luda

Hi first off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Luda....just like the rapper Ludacris. I am a biology pre-med major and I think the coolest thing about my major would have to be that hopefully one day I can not only potentially save lives, but at least make an impact in someone's life. Last semester the best class that I took would have to be biology 2 (yes ironic), but I really do enjoy learning about all different types of biology and learning about how the body functions from something as small as the firing of a neuron and I'm excited to dive deeper into those things this semester. Although I do love biology.... organic chemistry has got to be my biggest enemy. I have never experienced a harder class in my life and I truly cannot wait to be done with that! I would have to say for accomplishments my biggest one last semester was staying healthy and avoiding getting the Coronavirus all while living in my sorority house haha. Now aside from school, some hobbies that...

Story Lab: Advice to Writers

I used this same lab a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoyed the mini advice that was given. Therefore I decided to do this lab once again to look into more advice to not only help other writers but advance my writing skills as well. All Good Books Are Alike This title really took me by surprise and that is why I chose to write about this one. I feel like most people strive to write things no one has ever written in order to stay relevant or unique, but sometimes that is not the best approach. In this small excerpt, it's not necessary to make all stories identical but to make the reader feel exactly what you are feeling. If you can mimic those exact feelings then you are a good writer. The Picture Dictates the Arrangement I liked this one because I find this to be quite accurate. If you are writing a piece and you cannot illustrate and clear and vivid image, then you have failed to make a good arrangement and everything will be spotty and in bits and pieces. In doing this you ...
