Week 05 Planning : Sun Wukong and Hanuman

- For this week I researched a story of Sun Wukong to figure out how to integrate Hanuman and Sun Wukong in the same story.
- Origin story is different from Hanuman in a sense that Sun Wukong was born in a stone compared to Hanuman, where Hanuman actually had parents and Hanuman's father was the wind god.
- Hanuman was also serving a king named Sugreeva where in Sun Wukong was deemed as king of monkeys when he found a hidden village inside a waterfall.
- Hanuman also serves Rama, who was the reincarnation of Vishnu. Hanuman is portrayed as the loyal and faithful servant. In comparison, Sun Wukong is seen as troublemaker and delinquent since he constantly goes against jade emperors wishes and wreck havoc in heaven. 
- Researching a right story to fit both of them was a hard one. Since both of the characters were heroic on their own way, I had to find a story where I could make both of the shine.
- There was a story called " The Bear and the Travelers" in Aesop's Tail. I feel like I can work something out in this story with Hanuman and Sun Wukong.
- The Bear and the Travelers is a story about two friends who encounters a wild bear. One friend ditches his friend to hide in the trees and the friend that was left to die feigns death to avoid a attack from the bear.
- I feel like the characters in this story matches well with the Sun Wukong and Hanuman. Ill switch out the bear with Buddha since Buddha is seen as the avatar of Vishnu.

(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....
