Topic Brainstorm

The Gods / Devas:  Overview article of Vishnu's avatars
This topic is interesting because it's a big general topic.  Rather than focusing on and limiting myself on just one topic, I can go over a big variety.  I don't have too much prior information on the topic.  A couple ideas would be to either do a story involving many different deities from the culture or even focusing on Vishnu and his avatars. 


Supernatural Characters of the Ramayana: Ramayana PDE
I think that this topic would be good because we're already reading the Ramayana and I can just do a more "focused" viewpoint from a project.  I've read part of the Ramayana, and it seems like it'd be possible to do a project over a selection of the characters and have them intertwined in a different story.


The Ramayana Told Your Way: Ramayana PDE
This topic is interesting similarly to how the "Supernatural Characters" topic would be interesting.  The difference, however, is that the previous topic would be more focused on the characters (writing a story with the characters as a base).  This topic would be more focused on having the Ramayana stories told in a different perspective, perhaps with different characters involved in the Ramayana story. 


Creation Stories: Samudra Manthan
Creation stories are always interesting, I feel, because there's always a similarity between different cultures.  Reading about the Samudra Manthan, there is comparative mythology with it.  So there's a possibility to have a project that plays off of that idea where, for example, you could have a combination of the different stories into a compilation story.
