Week 2 Reading Overview

For week 3, I've chosen the public domain version of Ramayana. I've chosen this mostly because it'll be free, but also because it will be interesting to see the many different writing styles involved from all of the authors who contributed to it.

For the comic books on the Bizzell web page, I've chosen Dasharatha: The Story of Roma's Father and Kubera: The Lord of Wealth. I chose Dasharatha because it appears to tell the story of a life filled with tragedy and learned lessons, which seems interesting, and I chose Kubera because it tells the tale of a virtuous struggle between brothers and seemed thought-provoking. 

 For videos, I've chosen Ancient Technology - Atlantis and India and Rama and the Ramayana. I chose the first video because a discussion of the technology developed in ancient India seemed fascinating, and I chose the second video because it was created by Crash Course, and I've always found their videos to be very informative.

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineer

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
