Week 2 Reading Overview

I have decided to read the "Tiny Tales from the Ramayana" for week 3 and 4. I chose this version for many reasons, the biggest reason is that I can get it on my kindle app for only a dollar! I also liked this version because it was specifically written for this class.

The two comic books I have chosen are the Saraswati: Stories of the Goddess of Wisdom and Surya: How the Sun God Was Tamed. I chose both of these stories because I have always been fascinated by greek gods and goddesses so I thought it would be interesting to learn about gods/goddesses from other cultures.

The videos I have picked are Indian and Greek Mythology Parallels and Harry Potter Meets Hindu Mythology. I picked the first video because of the same reasons I stated for both of my comic books. I chose the second video because I enjoy seeing the connections of 2 stories that at first glance are nothing alike, and also because it helps me to better understand the stories when using a story I already know.

Saraswati, Kalighat album, circa 1880.

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...
