Topic Brainstorm : Hanuman

I have decided to work with the character called Hanuman for my project. As I was researching this character , first thing that came across my mind was Sun Wukong. As I grew up in South Korea, I was very familiar with the story of the monkey king of China. When I saw Hanuman, I realized that he was also a monkey deity. First story idea that I got was to fuse them on a adventure together. I am a big fan of Sun Wukong and him and Hanuman both going on a adventure sounds very interesting to me! Here is the link where they break down their similarity and differences.

 I can also focus on the origin of Hanuman. Every hero needs a origin story. Through my research, I found out that Hanuman was a offspring of Añjanā and Kesari. Hanuman is also considered a son of Vayu, god of wind, since Hanuman is considered to be Vayu's first avatar. I mean Hanuman has perfect materials for a good origin story. I could start from his birth to how he became the leader of the vanaras, the monkey people who resided in forrest. Wikipedia link.

 Another story I can focus is the feat. that Hanuman performed as he was adventuring with Rama. Like how he burned Lanka using the flame on his tail, carrying a mountain to heal the troops, and lot more. Hanuman is character that is comparable to greek hero, Hercules. Heroic and godly. Obtained plenty of good information from Guide: Hanuman.

(image: Photo taken of me in New York) Hello! My name is Tim Song and my current major is Biology and Pre-Physical Therapy. One of the coolest thing about being in a bio major is that you can seem really smart and brilliant. I was in the United States Air Force for six years and I finished my enlistment couple of months ago. Due to my work schedule, I couldn't attend the university of Oklahoma. I went to Rose State college for 2 years and OCCC for another 2 years. I received my associates in science in the summer of 2017. This is my first year in OU and I am very excited to learn and experience university life. (image: Photo take of me in UAE)  My favorite thing to do is to travel. Air Force spoiled me, by sending me to an exotic and beautiful countries and I am hoping to keep that up even when I have to pay out of my pockets now.

Week 11 Story: Hanuman and Sun Wukong's Adventure

Image
   Once upon a time in high heavens, Hanuman and Sun Wukong was enjoying each other's companies. Their peaceful tea time was interrupted by the arrival of the Buddha. Buddha requested Hanuman and Sun to deliver a special message to a temple in the far east. Sun Wukong suggested Hanuman to see who arrives to the temple first. Hanuman took the offer and was ready to go when Sun Wukong casted a powerful spell that made Hanuman fall asleep. "Good night!" Sun said to Hanuman as he jumped far away.    As Sun was heading towards the temple, he ran into demon brothers named Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King. They possessed a powerful artifact called Purple Gold Red Gourd, which can trap anyone who speaks their own name. Since Sun Wukong was aware of the gourd's power, he reminded himself not to say his name. Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King challenged Sun to a duel and told him that a powerful warrior always to present themselves before the fighting starts....
