My Storybook Favorites

The first storybook I found that I liked was one called The Good Place. This one stood out to me because it is based off of a show that I've heard of and that some of my family members watch, and seems to have a lot of positive lessons to be taken from it. For the actual stories in this storybook, I thought it was quite creative and different in the way it was laid out, with the text resembling that of a typewriter and appearing somewhat old-fashioned. The images and author's notes were helpful in understanding what the show was about, especially for someone who has never seen the show. The introduction did a great job of explaining the stories and how they relate to the actual TV show. The Good Place
The second storybook I found that I liked was one called Musical Battle. I was drawn to this one immediately because I have a passion for music, regardless of how it's used, and the artwork on the home page was quite colorful. The introduction did a good job of explaining how music relates to the story and to Indian Epics in general, and how it is a focal point of Indian culture. The author notes at the end of each story were extremely helpful, providing more of an explanation for each of the characters and their role in Indian epics. Musical Battle
The third and final storybook I found that I liked was one called Looney Tunes Goes to India. I was of course drawn to this one because of the title, but the stories were actually fairly impressive. It was interesting to see the connections he made between the Looney Tunes and Indian epics, and the images he added certainly added to the comical value of the storybook, especially the header images at the top of each story. Similar to the last storybook, the author's notes after each story were very helpful. Looney Tunes Goes to India

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineer

Image
To begin, my name is Dylan Lloyd and I'm currently a junior here at OU. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, and am majoring in mechanical engineering. I chose this degree because I've always loved math and science, but what I've found throughout my search for internships is that the coolest thing the degree offers is a wide variety of options. I've applied to everything from basic engineering positions to consulting and technical positions, as well as financial and management positions. It seems that there is high demand for people with engineering degrees, and mechanical engineering may be the most broad of them all. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Leadership. It was a 4000 level course, and was very different compared to the other classes I took. Almost all of my engineering courses up to this point have been about engineering fundamentals and how to apply those to problem solving. None except Engineering Leadership talked about how you think as an

Week 5 Story: The Return of Sita

Image
After several long days they were finally back together, and it was hard to believe that what they’d been through was real. Congressman Rama sat in embrace with Sita and thought about what had transpired.  3 days ago, Rama had been cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when he heard a scream come from the living room. He took off towards the room only to find a broken window and shattered glass covering the floor.  “Sita? Sita!”, he called out, but no answer was heard.  When the police arrived to their home, an investigation began, and it was determined that Sita had been kidnapped. By who they weren’t sure, but it seemed like Rama had been targeted due to his powerful position.  A few days passed without.a word. The police continued their investigation efforts, and Rama drove around town trying to find anyone who may be able to help, but nothing turned up. Then suddenly on the third day, Rama left his home to find a note taped to the front door. The note appeared to be
