Indian Epics Blog

I began my Wikipedia trail on Ganesha , as I was reading up on the deity when providing feedback on projects. Ganesha is one of the most well-known and widely worshiped deities in Hinduism, and his characteristic elephant head makes him easy to spot. His image is found across South Asia, from India to Bangladesh as well as in countries with large Indian populations, such as Trinidad. The article mentioned principal texts on Ganesha and included the Ganesha Purana , which led me to my second Wikipedia page.Ganesha Purana is the primary text on Ganesha and includes a range of information from yoga, theology, geology, cosmology, philosophy, and others. The text was estimated to be written in the medieval period during Islamic rule in South Asia, and it was a time of political turmoil. More specifically, it was written during the time when the Maratha Empire was fighting the Islamic Sultanates in central India. I wanted to learn more about the Maratha Empire , which led me to my third Wiki...

 I'm happy with my progress so far! I feel most proud of becoming comfortable with writing stories. Originally, I was pretty hesitant and felt a little anxious. But now I really enjoy it! I've been doing the Check-In and Connect as well as the Wikipedia Trails, and I've recently started doing extra comments because I enjoy reading other students' stories. In terms of developing the blog and website, they've both worked out to my expectations. Looking forward, I hope to continue my routine and keep working consistently on the class. I don't want to fall behind, but I've been doing a good job of keeping up with the work.  If not now, when? Source: Wikimedia

 Overall, I've received high-quality feedback from my peers. These comments help me focus in on details that were appreciated by readers, and the critiques allow me to improve my writing and be conscious of any potential mistakes I may make when telling another story. The feedback also inspires me to be more creative and re-read over my work. By reviewing over what I've read and considering previous comments, I've been able to improve my style of writing. I believe I've given good feedback to my peers as well. I aim to be specific with what I like and offer ideas to take the next stories in different creative directions. As I analyze other people's writings, I get new ideas on how I can re-tell a story and what things I should try. The blog comments on introductory pages make it easy and convenient to learn more about my peers and connect with others. Looking forward, I don't plan on changing any specifics with my comment wall or comment style. I allow myself to...

 The reading and writing assignments have been working well for me. I've established a good routine to keep up with the work, and I've gotten better at reading as the class has progressed. I can read more diligently, and my reading notes are more focused on storytelling than general plot notes. I can also find stories that I want to re-tell really easily, and I feel comfortable writing stories. I'm happy with the way my blog and project website looks, and I've been satisfied with my writing style. I found that I like to keep the theme and central plot points consistent and change the characters as well as the environment. I want to convey the same message but in different ways. Overall, I feel like I've been improving and growing as a reader and a writer. I've thoroughly enjoyed the class so far, and I look forward to working more on telling stories and completing my project! Looking forward, I aim to keep my routine up and finish my project with more interestin...
