Week 13 Reading Post: The Hypocritical Cat

The Hypocritical Cat

W. Robinson
  • There was a cat that lived by a river that wanted to eat a group of rats that lived in holes around the river. However, he knew that he could not attack all of them because most of them would run away.
  • He decides to trick them by standing on one leg outside of their holes. 
    • This story is very similar to the one about the wolf tricking the rats to trust him so that he could eat them.
  • The cat pretends to worship the sun, and during his worship the troop would file past him and he would eat the one in the rear.
    • This is extremely similar to the wolf and the rats story.
  • This plan worked until the leader of the rats noticed and decided that he was going to take on the cat.
  • Since this one is so similar to a story that I have already focused on, if I do choose to do this one then I will drastically change this story
  • Maybe combine the two?

Introduction to a future who-knows-what

My name is Taylor Blackwell, and this is my introduction post. I am a Religious Studies major in my last semester. One of the coolest things about my major is that it is a unique way of learning about people. I am not religious myself, but religion tends to be the thing that determines how people live their lives. It can determine how people act, dress, talk, who they interact with, how they raise their children (how many children they have), how they spend their money, how they vote, the list goes on and on. So, for me, learning about religion is a different way of learning about people and how they operate. The best class I took last semester was my Capstone class. Our project was to write our own gospel and it was a lot of fun. I took a creative approach to my gospel and it was the first time that I have ever had to write creatively; everything before that was just academic writing so it was a great experience. During most school breaks I don’t do anything very exciting, b

Week 7 Story: King Yudhisthira's Horse

Horse O' War: King Yudhisthira's Horse leading Arjuna into Battle The story that I am about to tell you is one that has yet to be told in its original context. By now you are well aware of the story of the moon-white horse with a plate of gold strapped to its head. You know, the one that the army of Arjuna followed for a year, conquering rajah after rajah? Well, there are several very important aspects of that story that all but a very few are unaware of.  For starters, it may seem that the horse had very little to do with the many victories that Arjuna experienced, for I am just a simple horse, wandering around the land. That is where you are wrong.  But, it is not your fault as the reader, it is more my fault for keeping such a low profile in this story for so many centuries. Who am I, you might be asking? Well, let me tell you. I am Skanda, the firstborn son of Shiva, and the god of war, and during these particular events told in The Mahabharata I was stru
