Life of A Desi Muslim Student

The main idea I would like to explore is the story and theme of Rama and Sita. Some possible story sources would be: http://iereadingguides.blogspot.com/2017/08/project-idea-rama-and-sita.html http://ouocblog.blogspot.com/search/label/PDE%20Ramayana https://desimuslimstudent.blogspot.com/2021/02/reading-notes.html https://desimuslimstudent.blogspot.com/2021/02/reading-notes-rama-and-sita-part-c.html https://desimuslimstudent.blogspot.com/2021/02/reading-notes-ramayana-public-domain_10.html https://desimuslimstudent.blogspot.com/2021/02/reading-notes-ramayana-public-domain.html Three stories I could use would be: 1. How Rama and Sita Met     I would write a little background information on both and how they met. I think the theme of divine love                  was a big thing about Rama and Sit a 2. Rama and Sita Jouney or Challenge Together     I would focus on a challenge they faced together or a significant in...

The Bridge Rama tried giving sacrifices to The God of Ocean to get across to Lanka but did not get any results He angrily shot his bow into the deep ocean resulting in chaos, a thunderstorm occurred and the mountains began to break into pieces. He threatened to shoot another fiery bow and dry up the sea The ocean rose above with shining water snakes. He reminded Rama that he has to remain impassable. He asked Rama to consult with  vanar chief  Nala , son of  Vishwakarman , the divine artisan in order to cross the sea through a bridge. He then vanished Nala was called upon, his workmen assisted him and his body was green. He made what is called "Rama's Bridge." Rama  set up the " linga  symbol of the god  Shiva ," and worshipped it on a holy island which is  called  Rameshwaram . Rama Attacks The omens of war began to occur. These included " the earth shaking, the clouds raining blood, a fiery circle falling from the sun" Monkeys destroyed many rak...

Authors Note: This is a story of how Hanuman found Sita and led to Rama to her. This story is not my own I am simply rewriting it in my own way. Jambavan was the leader of the bears who were allied with the monkeys. H e cleverly convinced Haruman to go to Lanka by praising him as quoted below. Rama was beginning to become impatient to find Sita and so it was imperative Hanuman used his powers to go find her. "His birth and origin, how the  wind-god  had begotten him and his mother  Anjana  had borne him in the mountains, and when he was still a child he had thought the sun to be a fruit growing in the sky, and sprang easily three thousand leagues toward it; how  Indra  had cast a bolt at him, breaking his jaw; how the wind-god in anger began to destroy the heavens and earth, till  Brahma  pacified him and granted him the boon that his son should be invulnerable, and Indra gave him the boon of choosing his own death." Hanuman was impressed and as h...

Sugriva and Hanuman Sugriva is a monkey-king now living in exile Rama and Lakhsmana listen to Kabandha's advice to go to the monkey for advice The monkey sent Hanuman in the form of a beggar to see who the strangers were that were approaching him Hanuman was the messenger of Sugriva, "the high-souled, heroic, and virtuous monkey who journeyed through the world with sorrow in his heart because  Vali  his elder brother had driven him away and had captured his wife" Rama knew he was Sugriva's counselor after his introduction and told his brother to be welcoming Lakshman explained the whole situation from exile to kidnapping to the beggar Hanuman replied," Sugriva too," he said, "has been turned out of his kingdom;   he too has had his wife torn from him and has been troubled greatly by a brother." Hanuman agreed to help them Monkey took both brothers on his back and jumped his way through the jungle Sugriva's Story Sugriva's brother is Vali an...

 I feel that this was a really important article to read because I can be hesitant in giving feedback at times. This helped show me that praise is good but students need specific constructive criticism that will help them improve their blogs. Constructive criticism is key here. It also made me ponder on the images the blogger uses, if the post looks like a summary rather than actual effort etc. It made me think of the little things that could make a blog better. Lets take the writing style for example, one can look at the past, future, and present tenses used, if the language is bland, ho powerful the writing is etc. It is often little things that can make a post come off stronger or weaker and this includes things like grammar and proofreading as well. I think I will be a better feedback giver now.  Constructive Feedback  Image Source: https://www.personio.com/product/feedback/

I have chosen my research topic to be Rama and Sita. I read their stories in my Reading A and B and I wanna know more. I feel like I only touched the tip of the iceberg.   1. How Rama and Sita Met     I would write a little background information on both and how they met. 2. Rama and Sita Jouney or Challenge Together     I would focus on a challenge they faced together or a significant incident they faced together 3. Where Rama and Sita ended up and how     This would relate to the happy or sad ending ever after and how their story molded and ended    Link Source: http://iereadingguides.blogspot.com/2017/08/project-idea-rama-and-sita.html http://ouocblog.blogspot.com/search/label/PDE%20Ramayana Rama and Sita Image Source: https://www.alamy.com/rama-and-sita-hindu-gods-image6625707.html
