reading notes: pde mahabharata, part c

For this section, I want to focus on The Cattle Raid. This attack gave me a lot of Game of Thrones vibes, so I immediately thought of using GoT characters to almost reenact this scene found in the Mahabharata.

In my story, I plan to use the Stark family as the attackers, led by Rob Stark (Indra) whom will be attacking the Lannister family in order to capture Cersei (raj). Instead of the stealing of cattle, the Starks will be attacking as Cersei killed Rob's father, Ned. Like in The Cattle Raid, a marriage will come from my story as well, but one between the Lannister and Stark families. As I type this, it just sounds like a Game of Thrones episode, but I plan on making it kind of like a bonus episode that we did not get to see. A post-Red Wedding episode in which everyone doesn't die. I want my story to show the continuation of Rob Stark's life while also incorporating the overarching theme of the Cattle Raid from the Mahabharata.

The overall joy at the ending of The Cattle Raid is a little unexpected, so I plan to keep with the sort of happy ending plot twist that the original story offers.

introduction to an aspiring teacher

Hello! I'm Katelyn Callahan, a soon-to-be 21 year-old senior at the University of Oklahoma. Originally, I'm from Tulsa, OK, and I have lived in Oklahoma for the majority of my life minus about three years when I lived in Kansas. I'm an enneagram type one, so do with that what you will. In college, I'm studying Language Arts Education in hopes of becoming a middle school English teacher. As you might be able to presume from my major, I love to write. I especially love all things technical about writing, especially grammar. Aside from my love for writing, I love cats! In fact, I love cats so much that I have a memorial tattoo for my childhood cat, Jasper. Below are some pictures of Jasper and the tattoo I got in his memory. Another fun fact: I got this tattoo in London while I was studying abroad!

week two story: family traditions

It was my first day at a new school in a new place, and I was not looking forward to it. I had never attended a public school, but my mom told me it was time. "Rish, you're seventeen now. You know you have to do this to carry on our family's traditions," my mother pressured. "Mom, I know," I say, slipping the fresh canvas backpack over my shoulders. I have never carried a schoolbag before, so this was different. My outdated textbooks weren't the only thing weighing me down, though. You see, the women in my family are all rakshasis. If you don't know what rakshasis are, we're creatures with the ability to lure people in, then eat them when we feel it's right. Naturally, we aren't the most attractive, with two huge fangs protruding from our mouths and a not-so petite figure. Luckily, we have the opportunity to shape shift into whatever we want. This makes luring even the least gullible very easy for us. In my family, w...
