Topic Research: Ramayana

-
For my storybook project, I am leaning towards the Ramayana. There are a lot of stories that I could use for my project and I think it would give me the most flexibility. In addition, the brief stories that I've read from the Ramayana were very interesting. There is obviously the public domain version that we were using for the previous assignment. There is also another free version from Freebookapalooza called The Iliad of the East: Ramayana by Frederika Richardson Macdonald. The best part about this version is that there are supposedly illustrations so it can help me visualize some of the stories better. The version on sacred texts seems very long but it could go more into detail which can come in handy when creating my storybook.

My music taste is kind of all over the place but I'd say I enjoy listening to rap the most. I don't really have any favorite food but I predominately only eat rice, chicken, and broccoli when I

"They say that when you are dying, your life flashes before your eyes. When I look back, I can't help but laugh. Why does fate hate me so?" Karna's wheel gets stuck Source "Me and you, Arjuna, have the same royal blood flowing through our veins yet because of the caste system I was raised in, I was seen as your inferior. When exactly did the thought of wanting to be your equal consume me?" "If I had to pick, I would say it started with Drona. I don't know if you remember, but I approached Drona to tutor me in warfare as well. He refused me though, all because I was from a lower caste. And then you came along. You were always his favorite. Even though our skills were equal, I was ignored while you were celebrated. That was probably my first realization at how cruel this system was. This point was further driven into me during the swayamwara." "Before I was even able to show off my skills, I was refused simply because of my soci
