Storybook Favorites

1. The Brahmazing Race
This storybook is about Brahma, who is the creator of the world. What makes this storybook so interesting is the layout in which the information is shared. The title of the work shares the idea that this storybook will be laid out much the the television program, The Amazing Race. The introduction does a nice job of explaining all the routes in India at which the players will take. It also introduces 4 "racers" and their background and importance within the world. The overall layout of the storybook is very engaging and brings a sense of adventure for the readers who are familiar with the television program the storybook is based on.
2. Epic Festivals of India
This storybook takes you on a tour throughout India and shares all the festivals that make India special. In the introduction, it is shared that there is almost a festival for every day of the year. Learning about some of the popular and special ones is what this storybook explains. I like the overall design of this storybook because it is bright and inviting to get people excited to learn about different festivals in India. Not only are the festivals explained, but also the origin behind the God they are dedicated is told. The images used in the storybook do a good job to show what actually happens during these festivals so readers feel a connection to what they are reading.
3. The Mothers of the Epics
This storybook shares about the mothers from the perspective of the goddess of childbirth, Shashthi. This topic is interesting because people often know about certain heroes but not as often about their origins and their backgrounds. The storybook shares the stories of three mothers each who had a different decision to make. One who had to make a selfish choice, one who obtained sons from gods, and one who had to deal with loss. Overall, I like the topic and main purpose of this storybook. I think this is an interesting route. I would want more pictures in my storybook so the readers can really picture the mothers as they read about them.

Introduction to a future PA

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsey. I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I am originally from the Dallas, TX area much like a big portion of the students here at OU. My major is Health and Exercise Science, pre-PA. I have always been interested in sports and sport related injuries so I plan to become a PA for an orthopedic surgeon. The coolest thing about being a Health and Exercise Science major, or any major that is on a medical track, is that you have to take anatomy here at the university. The really unique thing about OU's anatomy course is that it is with cadaver. While that may freak most people out, the opportunities OU students have with having a cadaver experience really help for later admission into medical and graduate programs. Out of all my classes I have taken so far, that class would have to be the most challenging but also the coolest experience. As I said earlier, I am a big sports girl and root for all the Dallas teams, the Dallas Stars and...

Week 13 Story: Simba The Silent

In the lands of Africa, there was a big rock in which was ruled by lions. There once was a small lion cub... well at least he looked like a lion cub. We'll call him Simba and he was the son of the king lion. Simba had always been different from the other cubs. His parents knew he was different and Simba knew he was different, but they kept his specialness to themselves. If the other animals found out then Simba could not be the heir to the throne, but Simba was a social butterfly and was always around the other cubs. He was always playing with the other lion cubs and causing a ruckus. One day they were playing hide and seek. Simba was the last cub hiding and the other cubs had no idea where he was. Simba had the element of surprise on his side and he wanted to frighten the others. So he inhaled a big, huge breath and opened his mouth, preparing to let out the loudest and scariest roar any of the cubs had ever heard. Except that loud, scary roar is not what came out. Instead, the n...
