Week 8 Progress

I'm certainly not happy with my progress so far. To be honest, I'm in a serious crisis. I have been lagging behind this class since like Week 3 and it had been continuing until last week. That was almost a month worth of missing several assignments and lagging behind in class.

I really need to catch up and earn more points by finishing regular assignments on time and doing more extra credit assignments, starting with this Week 8. Otherwise, I'm on ground for failure.

Nevertheless, I'm very proud of my truly unique and creative stories. I look them back, read, and re-read the stories I have created, and I'm happy and satisfied every time I read my unique, creative, and authentic stories.


I had a good weekly routine up until about Week 2, but I have been lacking from having a good weekly routine. I'm bringing it back to get more assignments done.

The kind of assignment that I enjoy the most in this class is story assignments. I'm an extraordinarily creative person, so I have writing something new off of my imagination and creativity.

I haven't done many extra credit assignments yet to raise my grade. I'm going to do them starting this week to earn more points that I desperately need right now.


Blogging and building the website have been super fun! I love the design and content of my blog and website, and this class is the most fun and amazing class I've ever taken by far.



Looking forward, I hope to get assignments done on time and do more extra credit assignments to catch up the missing points from the previous weeks. I want to earn more points and get ahead in the second half of this semester. I want to avoid procrastinating and have more discipline. In terms of writing new stories, I will try not to go too off-topic and try to reflect the original version of the stories more. I love the simple and concise design of my blog and website, so I don't particularly feel like I need a dramatic change to have a better design.

Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales, Reading A

I'm always been fond of reading Jataka tales. In fact, these collections of Jataka tales have been my favorite kind of reading for this semester because their plots are very interesting with lots of suspense and rich visual details. Monkeys look the most alike with humans, and they are usually the symbol of wisdom in many Indian epic stories. I liked all the readings in Reading A of Inayat's twenty Jataka tales, but one story that particularly stood out in my mind was the story of Monkey-Bridge. Monkey, including the wise god Hanuman, often has taken the role of clever, wise, and smart animal in Indian and Hindu epics. The story begins with a giant-like monkey who ruled eighty-thousand monkeys in Himalayan mountains. Wow.. Eighty-thousand monkeys are a lot and I can't even conceive how many monkeys that the giant monkey ruled in the cold, steep Himalayan mountains. I really like this very detailed, vivid, and full of image description of the monkeys' habitat: ...

Wikipedia Trail: From India to Chen Duxiu

I found myself fascinated with India. So I decided to do Wikipedia trail about India. 1. India : India  is a country in  South Asia . It is the  seventh-largest  country by area, the  second-most populous  country (with over  1.2 billion people ), and the most populous  democracy  in the world.

Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata, Part D

I really liked the combat story of Arjuna and Karna. The way the reading described the battle sounded very intense: "The arrows of Arjuna fell upon Karna like to summer rain; Karna's arrows were like stinging snakes, and they drank blood. At length Arjuna's celestial bow Gandiva was struck and the bow-string severed." The two heroes fought nip and tuck to win the battle. Karna, unlike Arjuna, seemed to lack grace and sense of justice. Karna attacked the injured men despite Arjuna's desperate warning: "Pause, O Karna. According to the rules of battle, thou canst not attack a disabled foeman." Despite Arjuna's warning, Karna was an unethical and ruthless foe. He attacked his injured opponent with ruthless raids of arrows. This cowardly action (from Arjuna's perspective) made Arjuna extremely angry that he almost became a different character: "When Arjuna had restrung his bow, he rose up like to a stricken and angry tiger held at bay, and...
