The Women of the Ramayana:

    I really enjoyed browsing through this website. I think that it was really well done and focused on a very important topic. For all of these topics, I tried to focus on sites about women, that is how I ended up with the topics that I did. I tend to focus on female-driven literature, so there is a good chance that for my own site that I may do something related to women in the stories. This site had great stories, easy readability, and was very accessible. I really liked the formatting and that everything was linked to everything else, rather than overwhelming the home page. 

The First Feminists:

    Like I previously stated, I wanted to focus on female-driven works, so something about the first feminists really appealed to me. I really liked this site because it was broken up into the different interviews. I wish that there was more to see, visually speaking, but it is a pretty sound website. I think there a few critiques that I would make, but as a whole, it is really well done. I think that the storytelling and writing is certainly the strongest part of the entire site. I love how the dialogue is done. I also really enjoyed how some of the stories have Youtube videos included for extra added detail.

Epic Women:

    First off, I really enjoyed the yellow and black color scheme. It was a bit harsh on the eyes, but it was still very readable. The entire page is rather accessible and easy to navigate, and I appreciate the imagery that the author provided. This website is probably my favorite, especially visually speaking. The stories, although some short, were also really well done. Overall, this site had the best imagery, best visuals, and the best layout, font choice, and font size. To me, the attention to typography detail is just as important as the story content, so I appreciate the effort that the creator put in.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

  Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher     Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the world. I just

Week Four Story: The Bridge

      The bridge between the Mainland and Lanka is a magical sight. This is Rama's bridge. Although it has been thousands of years since the creation of the bridge connecting the two regions, the bridge is still used by many. People say it used to connect what is now Sri Lanka and India, the gorgeous limestone meets the rock and the earth so wonderfully. It is mostly a tourist spot now, but peoples say that the rocky islands were constructed by Nala, son of  Vishwakarman , the "divine artisan," in order to allow enemies to cross the ocean. This was allegedly demanded by the God of Ocean to keep things fair and reasonable. This small series of islands that create a land bridge between the two countries serves a special purpose in my life, however. I grew up along this land bridge, and I know more secrets of the bridge than many. I know what wars have been fought and won because of this bridge. I know of what Rama and Sita faced during the creation of this bridge, and the p
