Week 2 Reading Overview

I have chosen to read the Public Domain Edition: Ramayana. I chose this option because, although it is written differently from a variety of authors, it is also free and easy to access online. The Lord of Lanka and Kubera are two comics that interest me. The Lord of Lanka interests me because he is described as the king of demons, a title that must be pretty grand for a reason. Kubera also draws my interest because he is the guardian of wealth. I wonder if he falls victim to his own greed, or if he can maintain his title and not become overwhelmed with the responsibility. Ancient Technology - Atlantis and India and Food for Gods were two videos that caught my attention. Ancient technology is cool because it gives some possible answers to phenomenons that ancient civilizations left behind, like the great pyramids of Egypt. It also draws a comparison from Atlantis to India, and Atlantis has always been fascinating because of the great myths that surround it. Food for Gods is a great video that quickly and simply explains what foods and beverages the gods may consume, such as elixirs and potions.

Howdy y’all, my name is Ethan Rafferty, a 3 rd  year student at the University of Oklahoma.

I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree. I believe the best part about my major is that it can allow me to help others once I graduate, including rehabbing those who suffered an injury or improving someon

Week 3 Story: The Great Rock

            There once was a kingdom of monkeys that lived deep within the jungle. This was The Kingdom of Vihren, where monkeys from all over the planet traveled to behold the magnificent land. The King of Virhen was a noble monkey named Jakook.                          One day, Jakook decided he would offer a test of strength for monkeys from all over the world to come try, in order to find a suitor for his monkey daughter, Sina. In front of the kingdom gates laid an enormous rock. This rock had been there for thousands of years, and it had never moved. Jakook declared that any monkey that could lift the rock could have Sina’s hand in marriage.             Monkeys from all over the lands came, including big powerful apes. However, none could move this rock. Then one morning, a monkey named Rata heard of this news. Rata had been an outcast all his life, because he had been born a blue monkey. His peculiar color always drove away all the other monkeys. Rata, however, traveled
