Indian Epics Fall 2019

I am semi happy with my progress. As I have said in many of my other posts, I have falling behind on reading. My goal is to get a A in this course and I think it is completely possible for me as long as I stay on top of things. I have used some of the extra credit and fully intend to keep using them whenever I have a little bit of free time. For the next half of the semester I want to try and stick to my schedule. I have not actually done that at all the first half so doing the would greatly help me out and get me that A. As far as my stories and website go, I am very happy with them. I think I have done good work so far and I want to keep that up. (Letter A. Source: Pixabay )

The comments and feedback for this course are really helpful. I am one who sometimes does not take critiques very well, but I am loving all the feedback I have been getting. Usually I do not think that college students give the best criticism, if any at all (they tend to avoid confrontation), how the feedback in this class works make it seem genuine and like people actually want you to do better. Also, giving feedback is a way to give people my own advice while also looking at how they do their stories. I have been given a few ideas myself and use my own feedback I gave them to improve my own stories. As far as the feedback I am giving students, I feel like it can be helpful, but I am not sure if they are actually using what I say. A lot of what I say is based on stylistic choices, so I am not sure if they are truly helpful. I am a very imaginative person, so when I read stories I want to be surprised. That is why my feedback often revolves around trying something new rather than jus...

As far as reading and writing goes for this course, I am struggling with the reading part. I am a slow reader in general and feel like taking the time to read a whole story takes an entire night. I know it would never actually do that but that is what it feels like. As far as the writing goes, I do not have any problems because I love writing. I also have plenty of things to say so that should not be a problem for the rest of the semester. I need to get caught up on my reading because I am quite a few points behind as far as the reading goes. My favorite writings were my first two stories. The Jataka sequel and the diary. Something about getting to make a sequel to a story allows me to continue the story how I want. Rewriting a story is boring and does not provide the newness that something different provides. For my storybook I am picking stories most people have not read so it will be new for them and also I am not retelling, but telling it from the point of view of the main charac...
