Storybook Plan

Sources/ Stories to Include:
To create my storybook I am focusing on the stories of Uloopi, Sita, and Gandhari. They are three interesting stories that include common elements. These common elements will make it easy to keep a seamless theme throughout my storybook.
Uloopi is the first story I think I want to include. I have not read her entire story but here is a link to the book: Uloopi's Story. Secondly, I want to include Sita's part in the Ramayana. I also want to include something about her origin story. It was briefly mentioned in the reading guides for the PDE Ramayana and I would like to learn more about it. Here is a link to some information on Sita: Sita's Wikipedia Page. Thirdly, and perhaps the most interesting is Gandhari's story. Gandhari is a very selfless woman who gives up her sight on her wedding day because her husband is blind. She also is the mother of a hundred sons so I believe that her story will be a good one to include in my storybook. For more information on Gandhari visit: Gandhari's Wikipedia Page.

Potential Story-Telling Styles:
There are several common themes among the three stories I have chosen to use. All the characters I have chosen are women, princesses, and there is a love story. I am going back and forth between just altering their original stories and creating an entirely new story that makes their stories overlap and entertwine. I think that making them have a part in each other's stories would be the most interesting but would also be more difficult. I am going to attempt to make their stories overlap and hopefully it will work out.

Main Focuses:
My main focuses for this project will be to learn about the three women's personalities and character traits. I want them to be recognizable in my stories from whatever story they originally came from. I want to learn about each of their origin stories. Also, I want to pay attention to their love interests and any offspring they may have. Their stories definitely involve some sort of tragic or epic love and I want to include that aspect in my stories.

(Image Information: Personal Image Whitefield Family; Taken by Hannah Whitefield; Photo from May 2019)  Hi everyone! My name is Hannah Whitefield and I am from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. It's a really cool small town about 45 minutes south of here. There are some pretty cool things in Pauls Valley considering it's a small southern town. We have an action figure museum, water park, movie theater, and what I consider the best Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma. I enjoyed growing up in a small town, but I love living in Norman. There are so many more activities to do along with a faster pace which I have found suits my personality better. I work at Ted's Cafe Escondido part-time. I like working as a waitress, though sometimes being in customer service is trying. My co-workers are all very fun to be around which makes my job much better. I am a senior Psychology major which I absolutely love and think that everyone should study at some point. It's just so interesting! I lov

They did not bite him but wrapped around him and pulled him into very deep waters to drown him. The King of the snakes saw what they were doing and commanded them to let the poor human go. The little snakes obey his command and released the man. When Bheem woke up he looked around in awe of what he saw. He was in an underwater castle and was surrounded by snakes and he could breathe under the water. His memory came rushing back to him and he sprang to his feet. He knew that these snakes were a threat and did not plan to be caught by surprise again. "Calm down Bheem. I am Vasuki, King of the Snakes, and they have been commanded not to harm you." "Vasuki? King Vasuki I mean. Thank you so much for sparing my life!" The king threw a feast in honor of Bheem. He had a wonderful time at the feast and
