Looking Back
I like the reading assignments because they give me a due date to complete the reading on/before! I also like brainstorming while writing stuff down because it helps me not forget about the ideas I may have along the way. I liked both epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Each one had a different central theme and central issue. Each also explained many myths and mindsets that the Hindu culture encompasses. I probably liked these a lot just because I already knew part of the stories since I grew up in a Hindu family. I am happy with my class project so far! I was worried my stories wouldn't be too good at first and that they would sound dumb, but after getting positive constructive feedback from everyone I feel much better about it. I think the feedback part of this class is extremely important because it allows us to gain perspectives from others. When I write anything, if I stare at it for too long, it all seems to mesh together and it seems good to go. However, when someone else reads it for the first time, they have another perspective that I may not have, and that helps me so much when I read it again for the second time. My biggest accomplishment is probably understanding my own religion and culture better :)
Looking Forward
I want to try new writing styles every time, but it's hard to do when I've never been much of a writer. So I would like to try to become a better writer by the end of this class. I realize that being a good writer isn't just about having good grammar or using large words in your stories. It's more like incorporating different themes and being able to write in different styles and still have an impact on the reader.
