Week 13 Review

For this week's current post, I found Rama and football and interesting way of telling a story. That would be really fun writing and reading as well. That would give the entire character different interesting, which would made it interesting. It is putting two different things together, which is a very unique idea.

For this week's diary post, I read Jataka tales by. I enjoyed reading all of the short stories, but for this time, the one I liked the most was "The Princes And The Water-Sprite" because it showed the bond love of three brother and while I was reading it, it reminded me of Rama and his brothers. How Rama was sent so his brother could rule over and same issue was presented in this story. The older brother was being sent to the forest but since they loved each other a lot the youngest brother did not let him go and in fact went with him.

For this week's reading diary, I read different kinds of kids type of stories. It reminded of my days when I used to read these kinds of stories with excitement. For real, I enjoyed reading all of these different stories and lessons in it. I found that helpful from kids perspective how each story had various images for illustration to present each part of the story. For instance, in the first story, it was monkey and crocodile. Here is the image of when the monkey tricks dumb crocodile by jumping over him.

For this week's dairy post, I continued reading the film Mahabharata by peter. I believe watching the film was very interesting compare to just reading it. I got to visualize all of the character which made it easy to understand the story. I was nice to see all of the characters playing the role. I felt like I was more attached with the Mahabharata story by watching the film rather than simply reading. I enjoyed the Pandavas  and Kauravas fight the most because intense fight is fun watching got observing each character. Overall, it was fun watching the film based on original Mahabharata.

Week 11 Storytelling: Blind Mickey and Minnie

Here we go with another bedtime story of three sisters: Mary, Ally and Sarah. Mary said while preparing herself for the bedtime story, “Okay sisters get your things together. I am about to start our bedtime story and yes, this time it will be fast and quick.”

Ally continued, “So, that means the story will not be fun and exciting as before.”

Mary said, “NO, it means you both have to listen to the story without interrupting me, so it will be fast.

As always we will have Mickey and Minnie as our main characters and our story will proceed from there.”

Once upon a time there was a king named Mickey. Who was blind from the day he was born. Mickey’s parents were very worried for his life. They thought he would never be able to get married and have a nice life partner. Mickey, on the other hand, never let himself down. He believed that one day he will get a life partner, who will be familiar with his pure heart inside.

On one random day, Mickey’s father invited his old friends along with their families just for a reunion of friends. Along with those families came a girl, who was not very pretty, but an average girl. However, she seemed really attractive to Mickey’s mother and then she decided to make her Mickey’s wife. Mickey and Minnie’s parents gathered and planned their wedding without informing either of them.

As the wedding days were coming closer, Mickey’s mother decided to tell Mickey.

She said, “Mickey, it is time for you to get married.”

Mickey said, “Mother, no girl would like to marry someone who is blind. A husband who would never be able to praise his wife’s beauty.”

The mother said, “Oh no my child, you are not blind from heart.”

Mickey agreed.

The day of the wedding, when Minnie was getting ready, her sister came in and said, “Minnie, there is no point of showing your beauty.”

Minnie very surprisingly asked, “What do you mean? Is everything okay? Is Mickey alright?”

Sister replied, “Yes, everything is okay, but there is one hidden truth about your husband.”

Minnie said, “What? Tell me right now. I want to know it. Is about my entire life.”

Sister said, “Yes, I know. That is why I came to tell you now. Mickey cannot see anything. He is blind.”

Minnie calmly said, “Sister, I order you to cover my eyes with a cloth. I want to be like my husband.”

And there ends the story of Mickey and Minnie. They accept each other as they were and lived happily.

Author's Note: For this retelling story, I made the story completely different, but the main point was same. In the original Mahabharata, Dhritarashtra was blind, which was played by Mickey in my retell story and Gandhari's character was played by Gandhari.

For this week's diary reading, I watched the next part of the Mahabharata. I enjoyed watching the film because you get to visualize the character, which helps in getting to know their characters better internally and externally. The main point is that the author does not have to be really descriptive in telling the audience about their emotions. Face expression are enough for audience to understand. The part I really enjoyed was when they were having fight.
