Week 8 Progress

Looking back at my past few posts, I am very satisfied with my progress and happy that I currently have an A in the class. My favorite thing is the comment wall and I love hearing people's opinions on my portfolio. Most people think it is really funny and I very much appreciate that. I have not been taking advantage of much of the extra credits and have only been doing one or two every other week. Mostly the extra credits I do are the blog commenting and the famous last words. Looking forward I am going to do more extra credits on Fridays after class when my mind is still fresh.

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

The feedback I have been receiving in the past few weeks have been very useful. The feedback from students allow me to gauge how popular my blog is and how engaged people are with my writing. One thing I appreciate about what people are saying about is how descriptive my author's notes is and that is very useful for allowing readers who are not familiar with the western works to engage with why I chose my story line. Overall all of the comments are very much appreciated and I feel great when somebody else other than the professor appreciates my writing. Looking forward, I will spend more time on my author's notes and talk a little bit more about how themes from a certain story relate to the themes in the Indian epics and how that relates to my life in the west.

For my image I chose this picture because I like how the light helps the cat sees the way ahead just as other people's feedback allows me to gauge my writing and my progress.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

So far my reading and my project is absolutely awesome! I love the project that I am doing and I think it is very funny. It also gives me a chance to learn more about the material I am reading for my other classes and forces me to relate what commonalities exist between eastern and western epics. One thing that I will do looking forward is to revise my stories ahead of time as I publish my works so that I can have more clear stories. My favorite reading has been the Mhabharata. I'm going to look back through the Inferno and find some interesting punishments that I'd like to put the character through and think about what characters in the novels I've read would deserve that punishment in hell. Overall I am very excited for my next story and the revisions have been absolutely phenomenal and useful!
