Topic Brainstorm

1. Kumbhakarana: The Sleeping Giant 

http://ackguide.blogspot.com/2015/04/guide-kumbhakarna-vol-528.html

This one looked interesting to me because growing up one of my favorite novels was the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) because I always think Giants are such interesting characters. The giant is named Kumbhakarna who is able to defeat not just humans but even the god Indra. The Raksha brother goal is to convince Kumbhakarna to make a bad wish. Rama then confronts the brothers as Rama knows he can use Kumbhakarna the giant in his favor. This will be an interesting one to re tell because the main core of the story will pretty much stay the same. 

2. Karma: The Good Place

I had just watched The Good Place on Netflix this past summer. The title just like the show is a trick, because you think you're in the Good Place when the Good Place is actually the Bad Place. The introduction does a great job of putting you right into the story at the moment Yudhishtira has just died. Having the picture with the caption "Welcome, Everything is Fine" is the perfect picture to describe the confusion Yudhishtira would be feeling. Overall, I thought the design of this Storybook was great. Having this storybook as a script to read instead of a story makes you feel like you are the main character. I feel doing a script for the story is a great idea and one I believe retelling this I will be using similar tatics. 

3. Yoga

This whole project is about learning where all these poses came from. First we have to learn all the poses then we can learn the origin. The word they use in this article for a pose is asana.The four poses are Hanuman, Shiva, Garuda, and Bhujangasana. Each explanation for these poses comes directly from the Gods and why they do these poses. I might add a pose or two and come with new explanations for yoga. 

4. Not Myself Today


This project would be about reincarnation. There are many different believes about what happens when you die. Some believe you re enter the circle of life as a tree or animal reflecting your personality as a human or some come back that have "unfinished buisness." This project is the story of Ramanya and what happens with her. The story is told from the point of view of a young therapist. This re telling I can go many direction, I'll probably go over all the many different believes because it would be interesting to see just how many there are before focusing on this view specifically.

Introduction to Joshua the Biology major

My name is Joshua Cohlmia and I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Being raised here made it an easy choice to continue my education at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Biology/Pre-Dental. The most interesting part of my major is that I've taken lots of difficult science classes but have never once learned about teeth. It's weird taking all these classes that don't apply directly yo my job in the future. The most interesting class I took last semester was molecular biology. Having a pandemic while taking these science classes has been awesome (for class not in everyday life) because a lot of teachers have been using Covid-19 as an example and I've gotten to learn so much about it. Last semester I finally reached my goal of achieving a 4.0 which I had never done before. My favorite movie is Die Hard because it ties my two favorite things together, Christmas and action. My favorite book is the Harry Potter series because it was the first series of book

Next to them was a beautiful lake with a very cunning crane. The crane loves to eat fish and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fish struggling in their pond. The Crane flew over to the fish and enticed the fish by telling them about this beautiful lake next to them with a plentiful amount of water. Soon, all the fish in the lake were gathered around the Crane while he went on and on about the lake he lives in with lots of water. The fish were all thrilled to hear this but also very suspicious of the crane because they knew that cranes feast on fish. They asked many questions but the crane was quite convincing. The fish gathered together to decide and wound up deciding to give the Crane a cha
