Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana, Section C


  • Consider actually continuing the story written from Week 3
  • High School Rama Drama Part 2
    • Ravana approaches Sita after school looking like a normal student instead of some jerk jock
    • Ravana uses a ton of lame pick-up line that he legitimately thinks will work on her
    • Ravana desperately flings Sita over his shoulder and kidnaps her
    • A bodyguard that has been secretly watching over the trio this whole time sees this and tries to save Sita, but Ravana savagely beats him up with his brutish strength
    • Rama and Lakshmana recruit a set of friends or allies to help look for Sita (could be some school clubs or the police)
    • A rivalry among these clubs must be settled before any cooperation and search party can happen
    • After scouring neighborhoods and streets, a club comes across a kind person wandering the streets (or maybe a Deep Throat or even an overly generous information broker) that tells where he or she saw Sita was taken
    • An incredibly skilled member (or whatever he is) and friend of the trio dashes off into the night in the direction he was told Sita was taken
  • "When strong men commit crimes, they become heroic deeds?"
    • A thought provoking question
  • Reimagine fight between Sugreeva and Vali in terms of something like a Dragon Ball fight sequence
    • lots of back and forth blurry punching and kicking
    • lots of flashy dodging
    • include a lot of unnecessary dialogue about justice, virtue, brotherhood, or something to draw out story/scene and to make fighting sequence gratifying yet short when it finally does happen
    • obnoxiously long sequences of screaming and increasing or calling upon power
    • slow death scene
    • offers an opportunity to draw simple yet fun and exciting fight scenes to go with this
    • All of this can be done in a humorous way, which may take it to a greater inspiration 
    • from One Punch Man rather than Dragon Ball

Introduction to a Tech-Savvy, Overly Caffeinated, Artsy, Green Thumb

Image
Hi, there! My name is Molly. I am a third year Computer Science major at the University of Oklahoma.   Image of Bizzell Memorial Library on the University of Oklahoma campus Web Source: Wikipedia Commons   So first of all, I am not good at coming up with titles. Second, I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is to describe myself as "tech-savvy," but I couldn't think of a better way to put it. As stated before, I am a Computer Science major, so I know how to program in languages like Java and C++. In the years before college when school was still free, I also learned a bit about mobile application and game development. I'm not much of a fan in terms of dealing with hardware, but a year or two ago someone gave me a Raspberry Pi 2, a small but malleable computer, which I was finally able to work on over the summer and turn into a small media box.

Week 11 Story: In Pursuit of a Jewel

Image
Bhama crept through the shadows. She was currently tailing her uncle, Prasenajit, while he was traveling to another country. Recently her father, Satrajit, claimed that he had acquired a jewel known as the Syamantaka from the Sun God that would give him fifty measures of gold per day. Bhama did not doubt the power of this jewel, but she did doubt her father's story of its origin. She knew he must have stolen it at some point while he had gone to visit those aboriginal people in the forest. Her uncle borrowed it because it also has the power to protect its holder from the dangers of the forest. She followed him now in hopes to recover it and return the jewel to its rightful owners. Suddenly a lion burst out from the brush in front of Prasenajit. He squealed in terror. "B-b-back y-you b-b-beast!" he yelled. He thrust the jewel out in front of him in the direction of the lion. It snarled and prowled around him in a circle. Prasenajit's legs were shaking wildly and unco...
