Potential Topics

Possible Topic: Geography Stories: Traveling India- I am interested in the topic because I am obsessed with traveling. I am specifically in love with South Asia. I do not really know why I have been naturally drawn to this part of the world, but I have. I love spending summers there and go whenever I get the opportunity.  I have actually been to India before, but to be honest I do not really remember it. I was really little. I think this might be why I love the culture so much, because I was introduced to it at such an early age. I would love to go back in a couple years. I would like to know more about the famous places in India like some of the really pretty temples, so when I eventually go visit I know information about them! I think the Somnath Temple and the Venkateswara Temple are absolutely beautiful!

Possible Topic: Love Stories and Epic Couples- I secretly love a good love story. (Yes, I have watched almost every Hallmark movie there is.) Reading Ramayana, I know the love story of Rama and Sita. They get married then get exiled and Sita gets captured by Ravana, and Rama has to save her. Rama and Sita become king and queen, but then Rama leaves Sita when she is pregnant- talk about dramatic.

Possible Topic: Rakshasas and Asuras (Demons)- I normally do not like to learn about dark and terrifying things, but I am very interested in it looking at it from a religious studies stance. I know that Rakshasas is Hindu but it is also Buddhist, too. I think I would enjoy doing my project on this just to be able to learn more about the different demons and how it pertains to the religions despite the evil and depressing stigma it holds.


Possible Topic: Women Characters- I am not completely sure how I would want to do this one, but I think I would enjoy it. Even though I like Sita and some of the other women characters a lot, I do not particularly just love one of the women characters just yet, so I do not think that I would do my entire project on just one. I think I would get bored of that fast. I think if I were to do this it would be several women, but I have no idea which ones I would choose.
