Reading Options at First Glance

After browsing through many of the reading options for this class, I'm excited to make the trek over to Bizzell to check out the various resources I didn't know existed!
One of the first links to stick out to me was that of one of the graphic adaptations from Amar Chitra Kathra Comic Books: Harishchandra: The King Who Chose Rags Over Riches. As I am currently in an English class exploring the literary significance of graphic novels, I am extra interested in checking out these options both at the library and online. The art is beautiful and the stories seem compelling!

Another option I found and liked was the Public Domain edition of the Mahabarata. I love the varied styles and old timey language (though reading it is a smidge of a chore until I get my brain more set in their vernacular). This epic has the feel of an ancient classic, and I'm really looking forward to reading it as the class progresses.

A third link I was extremely happy to find was the option to watch a movie: Sita Sings the Blues. I LOVE that we have the opportunity to look to different mediums to learn about the folklore, and watching movies is one of my favorite pastimes. The artistic and musical style are beautiful and unique, and I believe that this film can help in understanding of the complex stories we're to read. I'll definitely be watching this later this semester, and I'm so excited about it!
