Week 14 Reading Notes: Jakarta Tales


The Foolish, Timid Rabbit
In this story, the rabbit awakes to a coconut hitting the ground. The rabbit does not know this is a coconut, so he begins to run out of fright. He passes other rabbits and animals telling them of the earth is breaking inaccurately because of the coconut. The word passed on from animal to animal, scaring everyone. Eventually word got to the Lion, who was "brave" enough to check the area. He went to the spot the rabbit was at when the coconut fell. He realized it was nothing and told the rabbit he was foolish to believe so and get everyone caught up.

The class was interesting and informative, but finally finishing it alleviated some stress.  I have recently been reading Michelle Obama's recent book 'Becoming'. It is quite popular right now it seems and I received it as a Christmas gift. So far I love it!  I've always been fascinated with her journey and hearing it from her words is lovely. I have a lot of favorite food, but my favorite food would

Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part A

Image
(I added a picture of the geography of the Ganges river because it is referred to a lot in the Mahabharata . Image can be sourced  here ) I read the PDE version of the Mahabharata because that is the most easily accessible for me and worked well with the Ramayana.  There is a lot of family webs so I will try to explain them from what I understand from the reading. There was definitely a lot to digest so writing it out in a way I can understand helps me to better know what's going on. I've also attached a family tree from the story I Googled below to refer to. I have bolded  new characters when they are introduced. (I found this image by googling 'Mahabharata family tree'; This image provides a visualization to the complex family dynamics in the Mahabharata that my blog readers can refer to hopefully. Image can be sourced  here )  The readers learns that Ganesha scribed the Mahabharata and  Vyasa  arranged the Vedas; he repeated it to a disciple and
