Alex Lagge's India Adventure

The Kuruksehtra War was the main war in the Mahabharata. The war is being fought between Kauravas and the Pandavas. These groups of cousins are fighting for the ruling of the thronw. This kind of reminds me of the Hatfields and the McCoys. This was another famous family rivalry that happened right here in the United States. The war was based on the 10 kings war which happened around 3102 bc. This battle was a fight between rival tribes in India. The center of the war was around the Ravi River in India. A possible story I can use is Viradha as a possible battle story. I have already written a story about it, and I liked the battle scene a lot. I could do the battle with Khara as another story. Finnaly I was thinking of using the fight in the part called Lakshmana and Shurpanakha. All of these pretty interesting and I plan on writing about the battles because I think there is a lot of room to be more creative. A painting of the final battle in the Kuruksethra War . Sour...

For this weeks assignment I chose Be A Mirror by Gravity Goldberg. I agree with this article because it reinforces the idea that as someone gets better feedback, they will do better. In this article it shows students will be better at reading if they think they can do better. I agree with this idea because if a person thinks they have already failed they will have no chance in succeeding. A positive mindset reinforced by authority will definitely help someone succeed. The next article I chose was Preschoolers and Praise: What kind of Messages Help Kids Grow? by Mindshift. The best part of this article in my opinion was specifying what someone is doing good at. Good job fixing the car instead of good job. This is also something that a person in a relationship should do. Say I love you because... in stead of just I love you. I used to not like getting any kind of feedback as it would hurt my feelings, but as I have gotten older I like to know what I am doing right and wrong and se...

Updated Story: https://sites.google.com/view/battlesretoldalexlagge/avenging-a-wife "I'll make him pay for disrespecting my wife" thought Rook. No one through Rook's wife through a coffee table. She was the perfect woman in the world. She was educated; she had graduated from the local community college with her associates degree. She was also an athlete like no other being the captain of her rec lacrosse team. He had to take revenge on none other that his own brother. Rook knew he saw her trip his wife and slam her through the table. An "accident" like that doesn't actually happen on accident. Rook knew that his brother, Sam, was too big and strong for him to fight alone. Sam had been going to the gym no stop and his mass and strength knew no bounds. "Loading his body with that many calories of milk a day was unnatural", Rook thought. Rook texted Justin and told him to meet him at the gym , Guy Heaven. Sam would be there without a doubt, a...

The Sandals: I really liked this passage because of the importance of giving up the sandals. Not only where the sandals solid gold, but they were also very important for the times when this was written. Most people would only have one pair of shoes and on top of that being a forest without any shoes would be very painful. Rama is giving up something very important for his lively hood. As a writer a good part for this story would be to have someone give up something very important to them. I am not sure exactly where I want to take the story, but I am going to try to piece important parts of each story together. Viradha: This is a good battle scene. There is a good amount of action with Rama and Lackshmana attacking Viradha. They inflicted more than enough damage to kill any other opponent. It was discovered that the Viradha was invincible. They quickly dug a hole to take him out. Since this is such a major battle I will probably write my story about this section. I like that the your...

King Dasharatha: I started with this one because I wanted to try and get the base characters and setting. Group of people/ country Koshala. Ruler: Dasharatha Kids: Rama Mithila Head providence: Janaka Daughter: Sita Capital: Ayodhya Performs horse sacrifices to try to get a son, but gets 4. There is great imagery all through out this should be a major focus for me. Help for weapons: They bring a sword and bow.  Thataka: important for my battle and weapon story possibilities. They fights Thataka and cut off her arms and nose. Then they get their celestial weapons when giving a bone and blood sacrifice.   King Janka: In this story there is talks about a bow that is so strong and hard to use gods can't even break it. The king is going ot give his daughter's hand in marriage if someone can bend it. The only problem is is the bow can't even be bent by gods, so it begs the question will the boys be able to do it. (Vishwamitra) Having a challenge would be a good idea for...
