Indian Epics

In all I have to be happy with my progress so far in this course. Of course, I am not as far along as I wish I was. I had high hopes that I would be done my this week but I haven't taken and done all the extra credit opportunities available to me. This being said, I am still ahead of schedule and will most likely end the class early with an "A" grade. I will most definitely participate in more extra credit assignments in the future.

In reality, besides the reading that was short stories, we have only gotten through two epics. This works well however because they are composed of many stories that take some time to read and understand. My favorite epic so far has been the Ramayana. I thought that the stories were all great and it had a good storyline to follow as well. It was easier, to me, to take reading notes on and create an original story from. These reading notes have helped me really outline my thoughts for my storytelling in class and have also helped to refine my stories in my portfolio. Speaking of my portfolio project, I have...
