Reaction Paper #2: The Ramayana of Valmiki
After reading “The Ramayana of Valmiki: Book 2,” compose Reaction Paper #2.
The reader is hurled into the world of Rama and his crisis. On the day of his coronation, his father (King) wants him to leave and to live in the forest for fourteen years because of a deal with Kaikeyi (Queen). His brother, Bharata, would be crowned and take his place. Rama is focused on fulfilling his father’s wishes, but his wife, Sita, has a different point-of-view.
Choose a section of “The Ramayana of Valmiki: Book 2” to explore. This is not a summary. Please analyze one or two themes that occur in this section and develop an analysis. This analysis can be about honor, loyalty, family bonds, or something else. Use the Sample Reaction Paper below to generate some ideas.

Marlene / Bassam pre rock
*** answer this discussion for two students
Pre-Rock Popular Music
Post your reflections on the listening examples by Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Doris Day. How do these artists represent the middle class audience they were targeting? How do these songs reflect the post-World War II mentality?
example 1
After listening to Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Doris Day, what stood out to me most was how smooth and comforting all of their music feels. None of it is loud or intense, its the kind of music that feels like it was meant to be played at home with family or on the radio in the background. Perry Comos songs feel very relaxed and steady, while Frank Sinatras have a bit more personality and confidence, like hes talking directly to the listener about life and the future. Doris Days music is bright and upbeat, with a really positive, almost carefree tone. All three reflect the post-World War II mindset really well. After so much uncertainty, this music focuses on hope, love, and stability. It feels like its meant to reassure people that things are getting better and that a normal, happy life is possible again.
Example 2
For Frank Sinatra’s song his lyrics came off as personal control in the world and being able to make your future what you want to make it. To the middle class this could mean becoming wealthy and the way Sinatra conveys it with an upbeat tone gives a more memorable and catchy touch. Perry Como also keeps the upbeat and swaying feel to the music on top of using rhythmic lyrics that relate back to the middle class in which they talk about family in a positive tone. Doris Day relates to growing up in a positive tone and how life is a positive thing and that it is full of wonder and joy. After hearing these songs I can see that they are all positive and that tone would be very import after coming out of a devastating war. They reflect how life continues and will go on without carrying the negative feelings brought on by the war.
Example 3
After listening to these examples it is very clear to me that they all sounds very the same and express the same motion through their singing. Both of these songs show hope through the words they say and value. This plays a huge roll to reflect off of the post world war 11 mentality because going through war is a giant drain to your whole body not just your mind. A lot of people get damaged from fighting and expressing through songs gives people hope and to look forward to tomorrow to see what it has for them in store instead of siting back and continue to worry and think.

Compare and Contrast The Four winds with another text
Write a 1250-to-1500-word essay comparing and contrasting one of the characters (based on what you have seen so far) in The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah to a similar character in a text of your choice (text here can mean a book, but also a movie, tv show, or similar media). The characters could be similar due to personality, family structure, choices, or circumstances. You should form an argument about what this comparison reveals to us about the character from The Four Winds, and your discussion should not be dominated by the other text (the text you chose). -
Peer feedback English Comp II
Peer-to-Peer Instructions: 1. Compare and contrast your historicity and experiences with the writing process and revision in the body of your response. Next, you will actually practice peer feedback after you read through your peer’s first draft annotated bibliography. Peer feedback should be offered in a 3-5 minute recorded video accompanying your written response. Your feedback should not merely focus on formatting or MLA issues though you can point them out: instead, I want your feedback to focus primarily upon evaluating the quality of their annotations (summary writing) and evaluating their chosen source materials.Attached Files (PDF/DOCX): Annotated Bibliography Drafts.docx
