Shiva



     I would love to write a story revolving around Shiva as the main character. There's so many different beliefs about his true nature and full power though. I think that this story could give me another perspective of Shiva that I haven't heard of yet. 


     There's a lot qualities to Krishna stories. In them, I feel like you can find something from every genre. They contain action, romance, horror (since he fights demons), fantasy, adventure etc. There's a ton of things I could write using one of Krishna's stories as my baseline. 


     I feel a graphic novel about all ten of Vishnu's incarnated lives could really pull me in and inspire my own story. Vishnu has lived as a fish-man, lion-man, perfect-man, boar, dwarf etc. I'm excited to read more from this source. 


     This is an Indian Epic that I don't know too much about. I want to read it in full because I know it's one of the top two most renowned Indian Epics along with the Ramayana, which I've read already. I'm not sure what to expect from reading this in terms of story ideas. I'm sure I can come up with something great though.

Ethan Kahn Introduction

Hello! My name is Ethan      Hello ya'll! My name is Ethan Kahn. I'm a student-athlete here at the University of Oklahoma. If you insist on knowing what sport, I'm a gymnast. I compete for the OU men's gymnastics club team. We are 4-time national champions! Personal Photo      Let's get to the stuff that has to do more with me personally though.

My brother and I are practically  opposites. He's spazzy and extroverted while I'm calm, cool-headed and more introverted. 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.          ...

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...
