Reading Notes Part B: Fables of Bidpai

I still continue the same writing ideas as Part A. I think those options provide an adequate amount of interesting stories that I could recreate and make my own. I enjoyed the lessons that the fables were conveying. Part B is similar to Part A's reading because all of the fables are using animals to tell a story and pass on their wisdom to the readers.

The Blind Man and the Snake is a story that, for me, did not have as obvious of a lesson than the others. The only lesson I got from this was to trust your fellow man.

The Camel Driver and the Adder had a good lesson to teach, but I feel like they drug out the story more than they needed to. They added many characters and the same thing happened multiple times. On other reading pages, there can be up to three stories that tell a story just as well as this one that takes the entire page. Length is not always a positive thing.

The Tortoise and the Geese attempts to teach a lesson about patience, pride, and being able to stay quiet in important times. This story was not my favorite.

The Scorpion and the Tortoise teaches a lesson about being loyal to those who help you out in times of need. It is an interesting combination of amphibians and insects, but it makes its point.

This group of stories has more of a dark turn than the Part A. Many of these stories talk about killing one of the characters because of something bad that they did. The first part of these stories did not always end in death and some of the lessons made an impact on the character in the story as well as the reader,

I still agree that I am more interested in the stories in Part A. Also, I am excited to include plot twists and psychological events into the mix.

Back up and Review

Reality This week has been tough for me with work and my school load. I am working on managing my time more effectively. I am going to get caught up with everything soon. I have group projects in all my classes except this one. It can just be challenging to find the time. My favorite graphic is the girl running away from the ghost with “reality” written on it. She is running into a book, which sums up my life in so many ways. I love reading to get out of my own head. It is a chance to explore another world and feel emotions that the characters are feeling. It is nice to escape responsibilities sometimes. Taking a bath and reading is my favorite thing to do. Failing Superman was the most interesting video I found. I am a little on the nerdy side, so using superheroes to explain information about different people and what others are capable of. It talks about asking everyone to do the same task when everyone has a different set of skills. 

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function
