Storybook Favorites

 The Chivranjivi

The story that the author tells is about the Chivranjivi, which are seven living beings in Hinduism that are immortal and will live until the end of time. The author tells the stories of each of the seven individual beings in a very simplified and pleasurable manner, making the entire blog enjoyable but also informative. I found this blog interesting amongst the others due to the non-fictional nature of it, although i have nothing against fiction, i really enjoy learning things that are real concepts and ideas that different cultures possess. The format of the site is great as it contains images of all the seven beings, but my favorite part was the introduction tab that gave me an idea of what the whole project was about. It laid out what the significance of the beings was and how they relate to each other. It was an excellent project. 

Race for the Prize

The author of this blog tells the story about weapons that are derived from Indian Mythology, and ties them back into a unique and captivating story based on the popular series "Indiana Jones". I found the idea of this blog super intriguing as it had a twist on one of my favorite series while at the same time incorporating history about ancient God's and weapons that they possessed. I have never learned about these mythical Gods and what power they wielded, but the stories are extremely informative yet fun at the same time. The introduction tab does a superb job of introducing the blog and summarizing what it is all about. I loved the way the author wrote the first paragraph finishing it out with, "But what if instead of these atomic weapons, the world searched out to find the true weapons of the gods?".

Khang's Storybook

The author of this storybook focuses on the Hindu belief of reincarnation, and how the way you live your current life can affect your next life. Reincarnation has always been an interesting topic to me so it was pretty neat learning about it through the use of stories, even if they had been dramatized and slightly altered. I still learned a good amount about reincarnation from the brief reading i did over the storybook, and i enjoyed it. The concept of reincarnation is very compelling, and i might make my storybook about it as well. The introduction tab did a great job in letting the reader know what the whole blog was about from a glimpse, and laid information out in a condensed manner which i enjoyed.

The idea of reincarnation is that one will live another life after their biological death, in a new body or form.
