Topic Brainstorm

Creation Stories: I think this topic would be fun to create a storybook over. One of the main topics in Microbiology is figuring out what the common ancestor was for all living organism, as there are some ideas, none are completely solid. So it will be interesting to learn about another cultural way of how life began. According to Hinduism evolution there is no single story for creation, instead it comes from many different stories.

Animal Characters of the Ramayana: As a person who loves animals, I think this kind of topic would be fun to write about as well. My Week 2 story was about The Turtle and The King which lead to Pokémon spin off story! I also have my own pet cat, turtle, and fish so I could also use my pets in the storybook. My boyfriend is obsessed with squirrels, so maybe I can write a story for him to read!

Death Stories: The complete opposite of the creation stories topic but equally interesting to me to write about. As weird as this sounds, Game of Thrones has gotten me interested in different ways people can die. Spoiler Alert: Like how Joffery, Rob, and Little Finger died. Learning about how death was dealt with will also help me be more knowledgeable about other cultures.

Jatakas: Back to the topic of animals. I enjoy animals and wildlife, plus my pet cat and turtle are my life. Most of the Jatakas I read have the animals trick each other or a person, like the crocodile and Bodhisatta. I think it would fun to create a storybook with something that is animal themed.
