After reading about the different types of reading materials that I will encounter as this semester goes on I think I have a pretty good idea about what kinds of reading materials and characters that I will enjoy the most.
I think I will be interested in the character Ramayana because the epic will be about a war that Ramayana has with the king of demons. To me that sounds exciting. I'm curious because I don't know anything about Indian epics and I think this is a good place to start my journey.
Based on the options for reading the story of Ramayana I think I would prefer to read the public domain edition. This option seems better suited for me because of the different writing styles the authors will use. I will most likely become more interested in the story if told from different points of view and illustrations always help too.
As for the stories for the second half of the semester I think I will enjoy the Indian Epics readings the most. Specifically, 17 Fascinating Women from The Mahabharata, written by Sharath Komarraju. I think 17 Fascinating Women from The Mahabharata will be interesting because I love reading about women who have stood out in history. Maybe I will find one of these women's stories inspiring and something to look back on.
I also think I will enjoy Sacred Tales for Children (volume 2), written by Morris Fenris. Since I was little I have always loved fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin and The Ugly Duckling. I love how the modern film industry takes those tales and elaborates on them or turns them into something that is relatable to people's lives today. I think it will be interesting to learn sacred tales from the Indian epics world.
