Reading Krishna Part A

This week I watched the Epified TV videos about Krishna.  I really loved getting to see this beautiful artwork bring the story to life as it's being narrated.   Krishna is one of the Hindu deities that I have actually heard of.  Krishna is one of the main ones and is very popular.  It was so interesting listening to the story of how he was born.  As soon as he was born, his parents knew immediately how powerful and sacred he was.  I feel like the interesting drawings really add to the story and bring out the details of the story that would go unnoticed if just reading.  I think for my next story, I want to find lots of little pictures that bring out some little things in the story, but it will be hard to find the balance.

 I think it would be really cool to retell the story with the Avatar the Last Airbender theme again.  I think it would be neat if I told his birth story as if Krishna is the next life of the avatar.

    Hi Caitlyn! This was a delightfully succinct post to read for extra commenting this week- I totally agree on everything you said about the Mahabharata Epified videos. The art was beautiful, and also had me thinking about incorporating more pictures in my future stories too! Having just read one of your Avatar-themed stories I'm so excited to read the next, regardless of whether you keep the theme idea. The picture of Krishna is also really colorful and fun!

Hello!  I'm Caitlyn and I'm studying linguistics and minoring in Spanish.  Above is a picture of my boyfriend and I at Devil's Den in Arkansas.  He is my adventure buddy and we always find some really amazing places to go.  We both really love hiking and he introduced me to camping during spring break this last semester.  We have some more adventures planned for this semester and I will probably find a way to talk about them, so look for more posts about hiking and finding more beautiful sunsets. So, about my major...  I am fascinated by languages and everything about them.   If you are unfamiliar with linguistics, that’s totally fine.  Most people I encounter outside of my major don’t really know what it is either.  Linguistics is a sub-field of anthropology that focuses on language.  I really like the more technical aspects of my major. For example, I really love phonetics, a sub-field of linguistics.  This field foc...

The Banishment

As Prince Zuko entered the grand hall of the palace, the celebrations over took him.  He noticed the relics from the Earth Kingdom that were on display in the center of the room.  Speaking with his uncle, Prince Zuko marveled at the delicate decorations on these artifacts.  He discussed with his uncle how it is almost tragic to take such beautiful pieces of history away from their people, even if taking them was a symbol of his own nation's power.   Prince Zuko's sister, Princess Azula, overheard this conversation and immediately decided to tell their father about what Zuko had said.  Princess Azula has always been incredibly jealous of her brother for no reason other than he was the first born, so he would inherit the title.  Princess Azula knew Zuko's words would cause their father to be angry and outraged at his own son's words.   After telling Firelord Ozai, Azula and Zuko's father, Princess Azula tried very hard to hide a smile from cr...
