"Feedback Thoughts"

Read about it: why is rejection so much ---and what to do about it
The first post I pick it "why rejection hurts so much --- and what to do about it. In this article I learned that a lot of human beings use social media because when they are rejected by a person it does not affect them that bad, verse if it was in person. Being over the internet is a sense of safety. I learned that no matter what kind of rejected that happens to a person , rejected is rejected and it always hurts. 

Rejection at its finest

Read about it: Overcoming the Fear of Feedback 
The second one I picked is called "Overcoming the Fear of Feedback. Reading this article I found out a lot of people are scared to receive/read feedback they are giving simply because they think they are being criticized by the way they think or when they share how they feel about a certain subject. 

Topic Brainstorm

1.

Jatayu

 the first topic story i am doing is called "Jatayu" this story comes from Animal Characters of the Ramayana ideas. This story is about a young boy of Aruna .I am interested in this topic because it has to deal with a man trying to save this womened named Sita from the bird (demon). I might be able to gain more knowledge from this story.

2. Second topic story will be Jambavan , this indian epic poetry has to deal with king of bears. bears during this time were known asiatic bears which were part of tradition.
3.Sampati is part of the Jatayu, he is the brother and son of Aruna and Jatayu. This story would be good for a story book, because it ties along with the other story so it might help we expand when i start to write for the big project. This story kind of relates to the lives the two brothers lived. Kind of telling the future for Jatayu story tale.
4. Sugriva is one of the monkeys in the other storytell. He was the younger brother of Vali. Reading through this story i seen the two boys trying to get ready to take over the monkey kingdom in the city. Vali ruled kishkindha, along with subjects that helped him run it.

I never had any knowledge of these Indian Epics story, but i try to throw my focus on the ones that are related to animals.

Week Story 2 The Mouse and The Snakes

Author Note: Orginal Text, Remake text below

Lovers and Friends

A mouse lived in the tall savanna grass in Africa all by itself. There was so many different creatures that roamed in this savanna grass. You never knew what to expect, so living out there so small anything was bound to happen. Two snakes lived just about half a mile away from the rest of the animals in the grass. Theses snakes had something up their sleeve, they were so determined to get the mouse away from it's safety zone. They did not mean no harm, but they thought it would be best if the mouse came with them and traveled a little bit, rather than being stuck in the village not knowing nothing for the rest of it's life. So, the mouse thought long and hard about making this decision and he thought it was the right one. Then, one this day they peered through the grass and seen the mouse out eating and yelled "Mouse Hey were going to be great friends one day and you can travel with us back to our tunnel.

: How am I able to, if I'm not allowed to leave ?"

"No worried about that we will help you move through the grass without being seen"

As a few days went by, the mouse sat there waiting for the snakes to come up with a good plan. Waiting on them to arrive the mouse looked at his surroundings.

Out of nowhere, "Hey Hey" (the snakes) Are you ready to go across the Savanna grass with us"

Mouse replied, "Yes I am, I finally get to have friends"

As, the mouse and Snake tried to move through the grass without being seen, some of the mouse that lived close to the mouse and seen him leaving! "Where are you going" "We see you leaving!!!!"

Looking back the mouse replied, "All you guys mind your business, I am finally getting from the danger zone, I will now live with my snake friends and be protected forever!" 

Within, 2 seconds a hawk comes down and grabs the mouse by the head and it kills him instantly. The two snakes started to move on, and heard the neighborhoods of the mouse say "Man he thought he was endangered here. but i guess not. Maybe next time he will listen to us.

Now, the moral of the story is not as deep as people might think it is. The moral or the story is not that the snakes had a master plan up their sleeve to get the mouse killed, but they wanted the mouse to get out his comfort zone and see what the real world was like, being enclosed in the same environment since birth the mouse did not know any better when dealing with the real world. So, to make the long story short, never let peer pressure , pressure you into doing something you know is wrong because at the end of the day you might end up dead like the mouse.

"Reading Notes" Part B

The Chase

Rama was chasing the deer, he was on a mission to get the deer. Running through the forest and he was able to shoot the arrow and pierce the heart of the deer. During this time the deer "in this agony Maricha sprang out of the deer's body and a voice cried out". This killing of the deer perceived that he had killed the brother of Ravana. He killing the deer brought out a voice that shook everybody and made Sita think of her husband. But everybody was scared but she was telling them there was no reason to be scared, because the love she had for her husband. If he was not alive there was no reason for her to be alive, she clearly said "if Rama is slain I will die by drowning, or by poison, or else by the noose". Without she husband she was lost.
