Topic Brainstorm
I am not one hundred percent sure about how this post is supposed to breakdown, so I will start with the part that is a little outside of the box.
Flood Mythology:
I think I could do a storybook about the flood mythology of India. The Indus River Valley is bound to have produced flood mythology. I think that the flood story is something that connects many of the cultures on earth today. It is a common thread that links many civilizations. I think it could be an interesting topic. Wikipedia
Epic Battles:
I think this topic would be cool because it would allow me to learn about the Kshatriya caste. It is also an opportunity to learn about the Bhagavad-Gita. It is cool because it is mythological battles, so they have some interesting characters.
Rakshasas:
This is a topic that seems to have a lot of information and stories to pull from. I think the idea of man eating spirits is an interesting concept. I would like to learn more about this concept and the stories from it. Wikipedia
Jatakas:
I enjoyed the Jataka anthology, and I think this could be a very interesting topic. It would let me learn more about Buddhist storytelling. I would also have the opportunity to read some of the Indian comic books that are in the library. I really enjoy comics so that could be really fun. Jataka Tales
