Reading Notes: Seven Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art, Part A

Ganesha

This is a picture of Lord Ganesha from the story. I found this on Pixabay.


One thing that I liked about this video was the setting up section. I like how he explained the things being strange or hard to possibly believe but then explains why people do believe in these things. In terms of the actual story I liked the idea of a "My world" story for me. I think this is a very broad idea but with the animals stories in my writing I think it would be good to have two different animals discussing how things are different in their own world's. I was thinking possible two dog's one large and small or one being a house dog and the other being a outside one. I also like all of the symbolism in this video. I think that is one aspect of my writing that I could do better. I think that I should try to incorporate physical figures to symbolize aspects of life or ideas. I think this would allow my writing to become a bit more deep. Since I am trying to make the stories I write simple and more towards younger people, I think that it would be cool to have deeper meanings within my stories through symbolism like these stories attempt to do with the gods and animals in their stories.  However, unlike these stories I think I would try to leave out the gods and demons in my writing for I just lack interest in these types of aspects for stories. I'm not saying I don't think a character like Ganesha isn't entertaining, I just don't think that I would be able to create my own story based off this one but rather just some ideas in it. This video was entertaining however.
