Topic Brainstorm

 Four Possible Topics: 

1.) Kamadeva, the God of Love: I am interested in this topic because of the popularity of "Cupid" in today's society. The only previous knowledge I have about the topic is the stories of a flying baby with a magic bow and arrow, that shoots love. I would like to know more about the connections between Kamadeva and Cupid and maybe why we have such a twisted view of Cupid. The stories I would like to tell for this topic may be about the couples he has "set up" together, and I could tell these stories with the idea that Kamadeva is professional match maker. Similar to Tales of Dr. Love by Dillon Duke

2.) Weapons of the Gods: This topic was interesting to me because I am sure that the weapons of Gods are not anywhere near average. I have no previous knowledge on the Indian gods' weapons however when looking at Greek mythology there are some very interesting weapons, including tridents and even lighting bolts. I hope that this topic can teach me about the wide variety of weapons and how they were used. I think I could rewrite the stories by giving a background of the weapon and then the different occasions it was used for. One online source I could use is this list. 

3.) The Ramayana Told my way: This topic is one that grabbed my attention from the beginning because of the so many different options of rewriting. I have never read Ramayana before so I have no background knowledge of the plot or how I could make it my own but I have read Gossip Girl Ayodhya, which I find to be a great source because I am able to see how another student made Ramayana relatable to a outside source that was more personalized to them. I hope that if I decide to use this topic I will be able to go into a similar direction.

4.) Chiranjivi (immortals): This topic stuck out to me purely because things that can live forever fascinate me. I hope that I am learn about how these immortals differ from the ones I have heard bout before, like vampires, angels, and demons. If I decide to use this story I would like to tell the life stories of the immortals, and the way I might do this is by adding in a twist that they are actually the seven dwarfs from Snow White. I think this would add a fun twist and also be a somewhat easy connection since there are seven immortals and seven dwarfs. One online source I could use for this is Wikipedia.

Introduction to Me!

Hello! My name is Brooklynn and I am currently a Freshman, sophomore, and junior at OU. Beginning the summer before my junior year of high school I began taking concurrent classes at Northern Oklahoma college, in order to get some of my basic courses out of the way. By the time my senior year rolled around I was on track to actually receive my associates degree 20 days before my high school diploma. In March of 2020 my plans, as well as everyone else's, took a turn. The dreaded COVID took away both of the days I had worked so hard for. Although both of my graduations were taken away from me, I still finished the year and received my degree in Biology Pre-Med, I then went on to attended OU. Being that this year was my first year of college out of high school, I began as a "freshman",  starting with 60 credit hours classifying me as a junior, and changing my major to Psychology Pre-Med now puts me as a sophomore. All very confusing, I know! I have always been the type of pe
