Project Research, Storybook.

I have decided to focus my storybook on the Incarnation of Krishna and his time on Earth. I began my research my reading some short stories about his life from the book Krishna Krishna - . Below I will be discussing three stories and how I plan to retell the stories.

Incarnation of Krishna

In this story there is a positive and negative. Devaki, whom is carrying the divine Krishna is shinning brightly as a symbol of the divine prophecy, vindication. Kansa was still worried about his death approaching him because of the birth of the eight-son and spends all his time trying to find the right time to kill his sister and the eight-son. I have brainstormed the thought of turning the characters into a cinderella story because Krishna is showing the potential to save the Earth from its problems and he is not even born yet and it reminded  me of the Cinderella story.


Childhood Pranks of Krishna 

 In this story, they are celebrating the occasion of Krishna. Pounds of butter and milk fell on Krishna and the child was found licking the waste off him, which is surprising because the amount that fell was so heaving to would've taken many men to move it. This symbolizes the strength and power he has even though he is only a child. Krishna is depicted as the golden child, so I plan to retell the story in a family setting. I think it would be pretty cool to characterize Krishna as the "Red headed, Step child" but switch the story up to where he shows his strength just like Krishna.


 Universe in Mouth

 All I can say is, Oh My Gosh ! I remember this story form my religious studies class! I have to retell this one . Krishna is seen eating dirt by his brothers and they go and tell on him, but Krishna lies and say he didn't so he is not shamed. Yashoda peaks inside his mouth and sees the entire universe! I plan on retelling this story by possibly switching around the characters and maybe have one of the brothers be blessed with such capabilities.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
