Week 3 Topic Research: Love Stories

 The first story I think I could use is the story of Prince Nala and Princess Damayanti. This story reads much like fairytale, which is definitely the approach I want to take. The prince and princess marry and have two children, but then the prince loses everything and everything becomes very complicated. I like the nature of this story because while it has the sweet romance and fairytale plot, it also includes struggle and complications. I think I could easily write a fairytale gone wrong like this one. 

I could also use the love story of Rama and Sita. Their love story is like a love at first sight story. Although this story centers around their love, it also tells the tale of how they were sent into the forrest for 14 years. Sita gets kidnapped and Rama has to rescue her. In the end, Rama is crowned king and Sita is his queen. This is another fairytale-like story that features a beautiful love story while simultaneously featuring struggle and action. 

I could also use the Radha Krishna love story. This one differs a bit from the other two and I find it to be very interesting. They are not married nor are they together at every moment, but mentally they are one. Theirs is a divine love story of real love. I think this could be interesting to do because it is not the typical fairytale love story. It is about the love between gods, who were both married when they met. It is more scandalous and deep in meaning.

Introduction to Carly the Future Counselor

Hi! My name is Carly Capulli and I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I will be graduating this December, with a major in child psychology and a minor in Spanish. Personally, I think that my major is really interesting. I get to study how the mind works and why people are the way that they are, with a specific focus on children. I absolutely love kids! I have known since I was a child that I would one day work with children in some way, and that has never changed. I have never even changed my major! After attending graduate school, my ultimate goal is to become a trauma counselor for children in the foster care system. Last semester was tough for everyone I can imagine, however I did feel very accomplished in that I achieved A's in every one of my classes, with all of them being fully online. This taught me that I am very self-disciplined and can work on my own quite well.  I do not read much and I hardly have the patience to sit through a movie, but I do have many favorite

The Cheetah and the Impala: Week 2 Story

Image
Updated story can be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/carlypotfolio/  A large, fast Cheetah ruled the desert in Africa. He was getting very frustrated because all of the animals kept hiding from him. He was so hungry, and decided that he needed to devise a plan to trap his prey. When he stumbled upon a group of Hares, the Cheetah approached kindly saying, "Hello, Hares I come in peace! I am here to warn you!" "Warn us about what?" asked the Hares.  "The Lions are coming to kill you! I want to protect you! I can get you out of here quickly!" replied the Cheetah.  "Why should we trust you? You want to eat us!" shouted the Hares.  "I have had a change of heart and I want to protect all who live in the desert." lied the Cheetah.  The Hares were far too dumb to understand the Cheetah's deceit and far too scared to think it over. In groups of three, the Hares climbed onto the back of the Cheetah and let him carry them away. However
