Week 2 Reading Overview

For my Ramayana reading, I have chosen to use option one, Narayan's Ramayana. I chose this version of the story because of the reviews on the book. The book tells the story in a captivating way that draws the readers in. I do not like reading historical books, but rather I enjoy books and stories with a modern style that makes you root for characters and create different opinions in an interesting way. I think this version will also help me understand what is going on just based on the modern language.

Browsing through the Bizzell Comic Books and the India Video Playlist, I have found some books and videos that seem interesting:

Indra and Shachi is a comic book about the Lord of Heaven and his wife. The reason I chose this comic book was for the action and crime in it. I enjoy crime tv show and reading about what happens in this book draws on my interest there.

Ganesha is comic book about the remover of all obstacles. I chose this book because in high school I studied Ganesha a little and I would like the opportunity to discover more about the God of Beginnings. Ganesha is a very well known deity, but I want to know more than just the surface level of information on him.

Karma is one of the videos that I think would be interesting. Karma is the idea that everything we do has consequences. I do believe in Karma and I think this video will be interesting to learn more about the origin of where the rules of Karma came from.

Why We Worship Trees is another video that I think would be interesting to learn more about. Every culture is different and has different meanings to different objects. Learning about what those objects mean can give an insight to the cultures.

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 5 Story: The It Couple

Updated version of the story located at College and Karma . (Express Your Love; Source: Needpix ) At the University of Oklahoma, Ryan and Sarah were the couple to be. Everyone envied what they had and wanted a relationship like theirs, even if it meant ruining their relationship. Ryan and Sarah were juniors at the university, but the moment they locked eyes at a frat party one Halloween night during freshman year, they were hooked. It was love, and lust, at first sight. Sarah was a preacher's daughter and had only had short relationships in high school while Ryan was Mr. Popular Jock and definitely made a reputation for himself as a player. Let's just say, high school Sarah and Ryan probably would not have been a thought in anyone's mind. Sarah was the sweet, loyal girl who was friends with everyone and Ryan was the jock that was a part of the exclusive, "cool" crowd. Sarah's dad, Joe, being a preacher, was very strict and concerned about who his dau
