Reading Notes: Tiny Tales Ramayana Part B

-

Rama is exiled by Dasharatha, and Sita, his wife along with Lakshmana, his sister, followed. Rama's people still obeyed by his rules and word; they were still loyal. Bharata becomes king, and a fight breaks out that blames Manthara, for good purpose since she was the one that forced it. Bharata and Shatrungha go to see Rama in the forest where he was exiled to, and talk of needing to make a sacrifice to allow their dead father, Dasharatha to travel to the spirit world. Manthara apologizes continuously to Rama, but Rama is forgiving to her, telling her in a new lifetime the two of them will meet again as Krishna and Kubja. 

Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana then travel all over, receiving gifts and doing deeds for other gods. 

We then come back to Ravana and see his battles and troubles. He ends up capturing Sita, Rama's wife. He was almost stopped by Jatayu, but Ravana ended up beating him in the fight, cutting his wings off causing him to fall to his death. Sita was now Ravana's as he flew to Lanka. 

Rama and Lakshmana learn of the news that Ravana captured Sita from the wounded and dying Jatayu. 

This is obviously a very broad thought of the whole part B, but it's very similar to something like Super Mario Bro's. Mario gets his wife Peach taken by Bowser, and he now has to go on a quest fights many other demons, seeking help from even more beings, and being gifted "boons" along the way. All in all, Luigi is right by his side as his sidekick. It's all very similar to me and really a natural story that teaches morals and hidden concepts throughout each smaller story.

Introduction to Preston's Biochemistry Experience

In the fall of 2019 I signed a lease to a rental house for the 2020-2021 school year. The lease began in the summer (June 1st to be exact), so that fall I decided to enroll in a course for that upcoming summer. I was already going to be living in Norman because of my lease, so I thought why not? While the dampers of 2020 were not known at the time, I could surely not "un-sign" my lease, and the class I enrolled in was an extremely important one for my major, so I followed through with my plan. Last summer I moved into the home I'm living in now and attended my first lecture of biochemistry. Going into the class I had no idea what to expect! What topics does biochemistry even cover? I knew it was very important that I not only earned my A, but that I truly retained the information taught to me. Along with my major I'm pre-med, which essentially means I'm going to have to take the MCAT at some point in order to be accepted into medical school. Having a good foundati

Week 3 Story: Super Mario Bros

Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
