Reading

The reading I liked best was the TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS because it has many dependent stories about different cultures in India. It is also long enough for the rest of reading assignment after Ramayana and Mahabharata end. Some stories in 22 goblins are very long, so I can read two or three stories on each reading day. The variety of stories also provide good ideas of storytelling.

The reading - writing - commenting in the class assignments is balanced for normal students. And for students who do not enjoy commenting like me, extra credit assignments can always be very good substitutes.

Overall I have to say this online course is the best one I have ever taken. I took some online courses before and only this one is well organized in informative. Currently some online courses are like regular classes without classroom experience; this is bad because students who choose online courses are looking for a different experience, not avoiding class experience.

I am most proud of my project and I did learn more than writing skills and India Epic knowledge. The most valuable experience I learnt was making a blog, making a website, and persistence.

I will continue making post in a new blog to write down my progress of programming study. I would a valuable experience.

The first story I read today is The Man, his Wife, and her Lover, who all died for Love. This is a story about betrayal. A husband's wife falls in love with another man in secret. When her husband goes to work, she meets the man. One day the man accidently falls down and dies. The wife is very sad, so she also jumps down and dies. As her husband comes back and sees them, he is so heart-broken that he also kills himself.

The other story is The Four Brothers who brought a Dead Lion to Life. Four men want to do something amazing to please their king, so they go into an ancient place. When they find a skeleton, they decide to bring it back to life. After many efforts, they finally make it back to flesh. It is a lion. Then the lion kill all four and eat them up.
