It actually blows my mind how many forms these stories have taken over the years. it shouldn't be a surprise given India's population, but still, I had no idea.
Personally I'm very interested in the modern day style telling of the stories available on the kindles. I'll be at the library most days I'm working on this homework anyway, so it'll work out perfectly.
As far as the "second pass through weeks", I don't quite know what I'll do yet, i'm leaning towards the comics or animation because it would be such a different style and really help me get a grasp on these stories.
Some of the options for the second half of semester that particularly interested me are:
The music: I am always listening to music in my free time, so I feel like this will be one of the more accessible ways for me to learn the stories.
The comic books (like this one): I used to love comic books as a kid, and I have a feeling I will be able to visualize the fantastical stories told in this form better.
The art (like this one): As some one who studies art as his career, it interests me to see how other cultures art appears to the western eye. The image below intrigues me a lot beyond just artistic merit, its subject matter at first appears bizarre and mystical.
