My Thoughts on the Assignments

My Thoughts on the Assignments
   
     I think it's very convenient that the readings are split into two halves each week and that we're 

allowed to do one half per week if we absolutely need to. I also liked that we're going to be writing

our own stories each week. I knew we were going to have to do that for our final Storybook project

but I didn't know it was going to be a weekly thing. I'm very excited about that. The optional extra

credit assignments are something that I've never had in any of my classes before. I find that very

convenient as well, because it's a "pick-me-up" for my grades that I have on the side, if needed.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the rest of this semester and I hope this class meets my expectations!

He likes  cool colors like blue and purple while I tend towards warm colors like red and orange. Even our  majors are quite different. He's in pre-dentistry and I'm a philosophy major.             Speaking of philosophy, I love to think about, well, everything. I have m

Week 2 Story: "The Buddha: Teacher of Gods and Men"

Image
The Buddha: Teacher of Gods and Men Statue of Gautama Buddha      As was customary for Siddhartha, he headed back to his sleeping quarters by dusk to rest from a  long and tedious day of leading and mingling with his multitude of disciples. He would rest for only a  couple hours. Then, when all of his disciples were asleep, and surely nobody would disturb him, the  gods would descend and manifest in young Siddhartha's quarters.       The gods would come to this youthful and humble man to be his Heavenly disciples just like those  who were sleeping were Siddhartha's Earthly disciples. You see, the Buddha was a teacher of both  gods and men. Different divinities came and went on different nights. Sometimes the whole pantheon  squeezed in with Siddhartha, while other nights, one lonesome deity would come for his/her  own individual purpose. Tonight, it was Sakra, ruler of the gods, who welcomed himself into  Siddhartha's abode. He c
