Thoughts on Class Assignments


Class Assignments:

I think that it is really interesting that we are able to choose our schedules for the semester and plan which assignments we can do on certain days. I have never had a class where I have been able to do that and it is kind of nice as I can plan my workload based on my own personal schedule. Also, the storytelling aspect of the class is really new to me and based on the examples I have seen in the class it seems like a lot of fun. It will be a completely new experience for me. I think that the "Growth Mindset" and "Famous Last Words" extra credit opportunities really appeal to me as I have never had an opportunity like this in any of my other classes before. I think that this is a great way to get more involved in the class as well as great opportunity overall.

Sam looked at Ram, “We’re going to be late!” Ram looked at Sam with an annoyed look. “It’s because of you that we’re in this mess.

He threw his hands up in the air, “I give up! I can’t get any cell reception so let’s just wait in the car till the rain stops. Then we can go and find someone who can help us.” Ram nodded and turned the car off. He locked the doors and reclined his chair back, closing his eyes. Sam grabbed his bag, pulled out his book and began reading. An hour later, the rain stopped, hu...

The lion in bad company                                                                      Image Details: Image, Source: Pixabay There was once a young lion who met a wolf in the woods. Since the wolf was not able to escape the lion, he flatters the lion and pledges him his loyalty. This impresses the lion and he takes the wolf home with him even though he warned not to make friends with a wolf. The lion’s father tells his son that he doesn’t approved his choice of friend, but the young lion refused to listen to him. The wolf wants to eat horse-flesh, so he convinces the lion that they should go hunt horses for their meat.

Image Details: Duryodhana, Source: Wikimedia Duryodhana is still jealous of the Pandava's achievements while they are still in exile. Sakuni tells Duryodhana to go to the Kamyaka forest where the Pandava's are and where his finest clothes and jewels. This way it will make the Pandava's jealous and they will feel much lower than Duryodhana. Duryodhana goes to Kamyaka and holds feasts, dances, and entertainment to make the Pandava's feel jealous. Duryodhana tries to summon the Pandava's to his party; however, a gandharva refuses him passage and they get into a fight.
