Week 10 Review

I loved how our teacher posted something of a student's request. I that it is so cool that Megan can reach out to all of in her class in just one simple quick post. I love psychology because it so broad and unique. There is a direct way you can reach someone's thoughts and emotions, and this is why I am interested in participating in Megan's Survey.

Tech Tip Canvas Calendar

I love the Canvas app and the window itself. The upgrade from Learn was great. The calendar has helped me keep up with not jsut school but school related events. I am able to add all my events to the calendar even though there is not a class for them. The color coding for each class is very cool, and I love how it marks out what has been accomplished.

Reading Notes Week 10 Epified: Mahabharata videos, Part F

When first watching the videos I felt sorry for the Pandavas because they lost all that they had, and literally had to strip off their clothes. It is shocking to hear that at one point Draupadi was even unclothed in front of the whole society. Krishna however, provided that her clothes be endless, and this cruel act was stopped. With this much loss and embarrassment, I don’t understand why the Pandavas would go back to place the game of Dice. I feel that it was given they would lose the game. I feel that Krishna is someone who takes everything upon himself. It wasn’t his fault that the Pandavas went to go gamble and lost everything once more. I don’t think Krishna should have blamed himself. I feel that Arjun played a great sense in the moral of working to get what you want. I feel that writing an underdog story of Arjun would suit him well. I feel that for all that Arjun did he deserved to go to Heaven. This could be a great story on if you keep working hard though you may have started from defeat, still can bring great rewards. I can involve Arjun's brother into the story by writing them as Arjun’s friends. Though Arjun’s can make strides and leap in my story he can come back from where he gone to help his friends. I am unsure if I want to include a love story. All my previous stories include this. I want to focus this more on Arjun’s inner strength to keep going, though it would be easier to admit defeat. However, I want to change it to where he isn’t helped by the gods with them giving him weapons. I feel I can still keep to Arjun’s character if I just write about all the knowledge he gains from the gods.

Reading Notes: Pattanaik's Calendar Art: Part E (Vishnu)

Watching Vishnu’s secrets, I learned a lot about nature. How it is very important in the Hindu religion. We are to protect the land, even though us humans destroy it. It reminds me of the real state post I had made. I could write another making it about the earth-cow. Since the earth-cow has such value to it. I could also make it into an auction. I really like the theme of that the world is in a constant flow of perfection to imperfection and back again. I can see how it turns from people who are caring for not just themselves to others who are selfish and greedy.

I am intrigued that Vishnu knew that the rules placed are to be flexible and that with time they can and will change. I was very interested in the story of Manu and the fish. I was confused as to why it ended with the Manu and his world being destroyed. I see that the act of compassion starts society, because in a sense a society is a group of people who have each other’s back. Therefore I don’t understand why when Manu showed compassion he was treated otherwise.

Dnyaneshwant was a character that was very predictable in my opinion. I like how that his parents were very dedicated and were willing to kill themselves for the sake of their children. I don’t fully understand how Dnyaneshwant gained his powers, but I like how he did not become selfish with them.

I love the comparison between Shiva and Vishnu. Vishnu is able to show Arjuna how to being with law will help him avoid adarma. The fact that Shiva will not recognize a goddess is interesting. I want to research more and possible make a love triangle between a goddess, Vishnu, and Krishna.
