Indian Epics

I read these two articles because I felt like they have a lot to do with each other based on the titles. When I look at feedback and taking criticism I know that no matter how good I think I did on a project, I know I could do better at it and I want to do better at it. In order to do better I need feedback to fix what people believe to be things I can do better at. I really liked these readings as they reinforced and helped confirm that criticism is a necessary thing whenever you want to improve at whatever it is you are doing.

But why would Arthur want to battle against Ravana? Maybe Ravan...

He watched as the ground swallowed up his brothers and sisters and he began to run away as the ground broke apart behind him, as though the earth was chasing him trying to swallow him up as well. Unfortunately, the rabbit could not out run the breaking of the earth and he fell. As he fell into the abyss, he awoke from his nightmare. Realizing that it was only a dream, the rabbit began to be at ease. Just then some monkeys dropped apples from the tree and they landed just behind the rabbit. Hearing the noise and fearing his dream becoming a reality, the rabbit took off to find his family to tell them the earth was breaking a part. He gathered up his family as well as other ...
