Commenting Review Week

I think the commenting is a really good way of connecting with other students. Commenting on the "Introduction" posts, especially, I feel are great way to learn more about others in this class and commenting on the storytelling posts keep us connected with those people.

In shorter comments, I generally give a broad opinion of the post with a few things about specifics. With longer comments its the opposite: a few general sentences about the whole post and then more things that cover the minor details of the post.

I myself like the comments that point out specifics of my stories that people either liked or think I should fix as opposed to a comment that just gives their general idea of the post. Those are really helpful in that it shows me what I should work on or what about my story people think is good and I can then use that sort of writing technique in my stories in the future.

Reading Review Week

The readings I've enjoyed in this class the most are the ones that show the love of Rama and Lakshmana and also the fights/conversations between the Gods. One of my favorite stories was the one about Indra and how mischievous he was when he tried to take away the wife of Gautama. Another one of my favorite scenes was the scene where Lakshmana so Rama die through the hands of Ravana's son. I felt that was a very emotional scene, one I would have written about though didn't get the chance to.

The reading diary posts are very helpful to me when it comes to the storytelling post. I tend to write down (in the reading diary posts) my favorite scenes as well as the ones I want to write a story about. Usually these scenes are specific, small moments that give me a chance to use my imagination and expand on how I like while still sticking to the original story. In my reading diary posts, I mark the scenes that I want to write a story about by putting an asterisk by it to remember it later on.
