Week 11 Planning Post

Planning Post for The Tricky Wolf and the Rats:

Rizzo

  • Still keep the wolf trying to trick and eat the rats
    • He will be successful a few times before they notice
    • Possibly work on a new trick rather than the lame leg
      • Maybe he successfully disguises himself as a rat to add a little comedic relief to a pretty dark tale
      • MAYBE the wolf loves being a rat and decides to live the rest of his life as a rat, further playing the comedic angle
  • When the Chief Rat notices, he will come up with a different scheme, rather than risk being eaten
    • Maybe a different hero, rather than the Chief Rat
  • Possible new solutions:
    • One rat poisons himself and allows the wolf to eat him in order to kill the wolf and save the rest of the rats
    • Same concept as above, but maybe have a fake rat that poisons the wolf and kills him, so that it is not as dark as a suicide mission
  • Maybe have more than one wolf; maybe it is a clan of rats versus a clan of wolves fighting for resources

    Hi Taylor, it looks like you skipped the research part of this assignment, so make sure you do that, okay? The instructions and checklist both talk about the research part; for example, with the jatakas, you could read the traditional Buddhist version to see how the Buddha used the story. You can find the traditional Buddhist version for this story here: BIḶĀRA-JĀTAKA (you'll see it is about a jackal rather than a wolf)

    Hey Taylor! It looks like you are doing a little bit of story planning like myself here. This is a great way to get all your information you think you need in a concise order and manner. I think that you have some good ideas here and with a little bit of detail and research could have an awesome story going!

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

Image
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
