Storybook Favorites



Gossip Girl Title Card

Gossip Girl Ayodhya was one of my favorite Storybooks even though I wasn't very familiar with the topic. The thing I liked the most about this story was how it used the show gossip girl to retell Ramayana. The introduction jumps out at the reader by starting off like the Gossip Girl show would, and it sets up the background story pretty well. The stories navigation was easy to use and the story itself was well written and interesting. The storybook did a very good job of using the gossip girl writing style to retell the Ramayana.



Hogwarts Castle

Katie-Indian Epics was another one of my favorite storybooks. This storybook did a really good job of blending the tale of these four brothers into the world of Harry Potter. The introduction describes each brother well, and the buzzfeed quiz makes the storybook interactive and fun. This storybook had the same easy to use layout as Gossip Girl Avodhya, and it was easy to follow along with. I like the easy navigation of the page and the way the title of each section was laid out at the top followed by a picture associated with that section and than the actual story. I would like my storybook to be laid out in a similar fashion.

Nicole's Indian epics storybook was one of my favorites because of its unique way of telling many different sides of the story. The introduction did a very good job of catching readers eyes by drawing them in with the promise of major drama. The women's story were well written and filled with juicy tidbits and surprises that made the story even more dramatic. The author's note also helped to express the changes between the authors retelling and the actual story. They also explained why the author chose to rewrite the stories this way.

Introduction To a Future Architect

My name is Trishna Patel and I'm a second year architecture major. My main hobby (if you can consider it one) is watching tv mostly tv shows, documentaries, and anime. I also like to watch movies. Mostly action and sci-fi movies but also ones based off of real life stories. I absolutely love all the Marvel movies and the Harry Potter movies. I also like to read books mostly young adult and romance books. If I'm not doing either of the two I'm usually in my studio classroom in Gould Hall doing whatever project I was assigned. Picture of Gould Hall that houses OU's College of Architecture Washington Times This summer I went on vacation in Africa. My dad was born in Zambia and spent most of his childhood there so he wanted to show us the place he grew up in. We spent two days in Lusaka where he was born, and then we went to Livingston where we saw Victoria Falls. We also spent some time in Tanzania where we took a day hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro and a week long sa...

Week 14 Story: The Unknown Brother

One day Narada had a mango and he decided to go and offer it to one of Shiva’s sons. As he was making the climb up Mount Kailasa Narada wondered which of Shiva’s sons he should give the mango to. Unable to decide, Narada came up with an idea to decide who to give the mango to. Narada finally made it to the top and sitting there were the people he had come looking for. Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off. As he was going around the world Ganesha just sat there and happily watched his brother going around the world. As they sat there Parvati and Narada were wondering why Ganesha did not get up...
