Week 15 Story:

I wish he would just tell me he wanted me to leave. That would be to easy for him. Instead, all I have been hearing for the past few days when I had come to visit was Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake. I mean I was a little suspicious after being awol for a minute and the first thing he played for me was We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift. He knew I wasn't the biggest fan of her music but I thought he just wanted to annoy me after not seeing me for a year when I had to forcibly take a sabbatical. So after a week of play songs back at each other I finally decided to have a conversation with him. He said he missed being single and didn't know how to tell me and song was the best way he could think of. He told me he didn't know if he could trust me after spending a year away with my research team that was mostly men.  I was deeply hurt this wasn't the first time that he was suspicious of me. After the trial by fire, I thought there was nothing that could

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  

Reading Week 15 Part A: 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
