I really like the in-between characters of the storytelling. I think that I could do a scene similar to the one where they are all running to Sita as she is going back to her mother. I think that would be a nice scene to recreate but make it similar to a game show. The contestants would be Rama and her two sons. I also could do something like how when Dave emailed Nina to break up with her but make it Sita and Rama and make it more modern. But I really do think I will stay with the Betty Boop theme or maybe even Olive from Popeye cause I also felt like that was something that this movie reminded me of. The balance of comedy and seriousness will be really hard to tackle but I think I can do it. Source:  Indian Epics Bibliography:  Sita Sings The Blues  

I watched Sita sings the blues. It was very comical especially with the storytellers messing up every so often. I think knowing the original story of Sita and how she also had powers I was thinking have a scene where she is gonna end Ravana's life but then decided not to because again her husband is supposed to be the one to save her as she mentioned in the story. I another scene that I really enjoyed from this episode was when they told them how they were being banished for 14 years. I think using this video to recreate a story is going to be a challenge because it was comical in very serious elements. I think I can manage to create a funny element in this story. I found Sita to be very similar to Betty Bop in this story, so I may look into elements of that to create this week's story. Source: IMDB Story: Sita Sings The Blues

Source:  Clear Vision “ Watch where you going!” I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was very angry. I did hear something crash. I know he didn’t mean any harm by it. Not a lot of people had disabilities in this day and age, let alone blind like me. The government had nearly eradicated every possible element. I was apart of the older generation and my parents didn’t see the need to be a “ government guinea pig’. I had never had eyesight, but I can tell when a light is on. Now that I am in my thirties I well passed the age to receive the cure-all shot. I still had hope that I would see the sunset. I would one-day experience color. I settled into my apartment, music and audible books were my preferred choice of entertainment. It was a little hard to paint a picture of some of the things that they said because I had never seen them but I love it when they talked about textures which is how I usually view the world. I was listening to an audible book and I heard an ad from

I think I can use part B to make a story of how a king goes to having all these riches and even though he isn’t indulgent he still loses everything, similar to the story of Job. I could go into detail of all his riches especially with the way they describe the chariot. I can also do a story of an old man looking back over his life and instead of being sad that he is aging being happy that he got to live a long full life. The story Eager to Know the Great Truths would be a great way to add to how he became a monk. I think the story set up would be similar to someone finding these stories in a library and attempting to become a monk. I think I could start with the person that wants to become a monk with becoming a hermit. I think I could possibly combine my two ideas and have a king that gives up his riches to be a monk because of some stories that he read in the library. I think the primary focus would be the king talking to his advisors and then giving up his riches. I could then do a

I read the Life of Buddha by Andre Ferdinand Herold. In Maya’s dream, I see another elephant mentioned. I wonder if I could compile all the elephant story elements and make one massive elephant story that has a centralized theme. Or I could take the story from the elephants perspective and the importance of bringing the dream to Maya. It would be similar tot he Alice in Wonderland bunny that always had the clock and was running in order to get to the party on time. I could also do a story from the dream interpreters perspective. I think instead of the story being predictable I think I will have the dream interpreters attempt to scam them but then have a small child give the real interpretation. I also could do a version where he is trying to become a monk and how the challenge was for him but not Buddha specifically. It also talks of the many miracles that happened when the baby was born. I was thinking of maybe using a similar biblical story but from the blind man’s point of view. I

Moving is such a pain. Ian thought as he lifted yet another heavy box from the back of his pick up truck. He had just graduated college and decided that it was time to try a new city in a new town. He had already met a few of his neighbors and they all seemed really nice. After a few hours of unpacking he decided he would carry on tomorrow and went to bed. THUMP! Ian jolted out of bed at the loud sound in the bed. He shuffled out of bed quickly and grabbed the nearest weapon that he could see. He went to see what the commotion was. He searched everywhere in the house but could not seem to find anything. He stepped into his backyard and saw a wild dog. He was relieved, especially since the only weapon he was holding was his shoe. The dog snarled at him when he tried to approach. Ian noticed that not only was the dog a little frail but it seemed to be protecting something. The moment Ian took another step towards the dog it snarled even louder but he could make out two little pups. It se
