Reading Notes: More Ramayana Part A

Ravana and Sita
(I thought it was pretty funny when the movie kept zooming in on Ravana's face as Sita was dismissing him.)

Sita Sings the Blues by Nina Paley

The animation is unique and interesting.
The movie seems to be moving faster than when I was reading it the first time.
I love the narrators. I think I could watch the whole thing with just their narrations. It's kind of podcast like, and I'm a big fan of podcasts.
There are all kinds of strange characters attacking Rama. The animation helps my visual learner side; I am better able now to put names with faces.
Rama is just as dramatic in the movie as I imagined him while reading the story the first time.
Vishnu/Shiva as Hanuman? I didn't catch all that when reading.
When the gods reincarnate/reborn are they still in their true form in the heavens?
The songs weren't written for the movie? They fit pretty well.
Everything is fine and dandy by intermission. Overall Sita is a little more stable in her emotions and demeanor throughout the story. I thought from Rama's point of view he was all over the place and saying things that were pretty contradictory. The movie has so far continued to seal my like of Sita over Rama.

Introduction to the Soon Graduating Mariah

Hello~ My name is Mariah. I am an Environmental Sustainability: Planning and Management senior. I graduated high school in Arizona but I have lived in North Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma so home just ends up being wherever I am at the moment. I am equally excited and not excited about graduating in May. I'm not sure what I want to do after graduation, whether it be get a job or continue with school, so it can be a little stressful when people always ask. Right now my dream job would be working at a cosmetics company and making the products more environmentally friendly. The coolest thing I've ever done is study abroad in Seoul, South Korea ( my favorite place ). I always have a story to share, which can sometimes make my friends and family a little crazy. I had wanted to travel abroad for as long as I could remember and actually following through with it was amazing. Even though some days were hard I had a lot of fun and would recommend Korea or just studying abroad i

Week 2 Story: The Sleepy Koala

Image
Story There once was a sleepy koala who spent most of his time in eucalyptus trees. One day when he was eating some eucalyptus leaves he came across a branch that did not look like the others. He asked " what shall I do with this odd branch? " He thought maybe he should try to eat it, although it didn't look very tasty. He thought another time to throw it down into the river where it could float away and bother a different creature. To his surprise the branch once answered back. It said " if you, sleepy koala, want me out of your sight just bury me under some dirt where the sun shines and I will never bother you in this form again ." The koala was hesitant. It would require a lot of work for him to leave his tree to bury this branch. He was very busy with his 22 hours of sleep and 2 hours of eating leaves. Nonetheless he decided it was important to get rid of the strange branch once and for all. He climbed down his tree and followed the branch's instruc
