1. In other classes I have always enjoyed reading about Gods
and Goddesses. They interest me because they are dynamic characters that are
involved in life of earth. If I were to do a storybook over this topic I would
want to do Vishnu and Brahama.
Vishnu is interesting
because he has a human like form but he is also blue and has four arms making
him distinct in his features. One thing I would like to learn about Vishnu is
his abilities and avatars. I am not familiar with either of these topics.
I recognize Brahama
from our past readings of Ramayana. I would like to learn more about his
relation with Rama and Ravana. I would also like to learn about his wives.

2. Whenever there is a story about Gods and Goddesses there
is usually a Hero or Heroine to go with it. I would be open to doing a story
book or portfolio about a combination of Gods and Heroes.
One hero, of course,
would be Rama because of my previous knowledge of him. I like his courage and
drive so it would be easy to write about the Ramayana story. I would like to do
more research on his relationships with his brothers, mother, father, etc.
Since I am interested in the God Vishnu I would also like to
look into his avatars his other avatar Krishna.
3. Animals in the
epics are a unique part of the class that I would base my storybook on because
of the variety of parts an animal plays to each epic. I also enjoy animals and
think it would be entertaining to make up stories about them.
I would like to learn more about the part animals
play. Sometimes they are Vahana which is just a vehicle for a God but sometimes
they can speak and interact with the hero or heroine. When studying animals I
think I will also learn more about Vishnu and his avatars.
4. One idea I have for a Storybook is the family heritage
within epics. The more I read about different epics the more I see how they are
all somewhat connected. The family heritage is a little hard for me to keep up
with though.
I would like to learn
more about the theme of brother hood that was one of the central themes for
Ramayana. Another relationship that confuses me is the relationship Rama has
with his father Brahama who seems to be absent most of the Ramayana story.
