So for my second book I read up on some demons and how other cultures see and uses them. At least I tried to anyway. Ended up read three quarters of a book on demons and myths of the far east and two different sections from a different book each. All full of information just not exactly tailored to what I was hoping to learn. Just means I'm gonna have to write some really good note cards come the 11th. My reading about angles was very precise and it seamed as though my people have wondered about them. Leading to a lot of knowledge about them for me to read about. I thought the same would be true for demons, besides they are cooler anyway, the have no limit to power.
I did learn a few things in my readings, not all was lost. One very interesting thing I learn and thought was pretty amazing. In Hindu mythology demons were not always evil and in fact they helped form the Earth along with the other supreme beings. Would be interesting to do my paper on the nicer side of Demons. But don't think there will be a lot out there on that specific kind of thing. Wont know till I try I guess. Im actually really worried about this paper, normally school projects and crap does not faze me but I have started to slip. Once you fall it can be a really hard time getting back on track, look at what happened to Josh. A soon as I get home I get stressed, do I study of chem that Im not really getting, try and grasp at this wonderful poetry we are given or try and figure out how the hell Im going to write for this weighted 10 paper. What ever that means, oh and them we have finals to thats another great pile of freaking out we have coming to us. Well any who back on topic, yeah demons, not as studied as angles thats for sure.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post here. Not only did I get some valuable insight on demons, but I also was able to connect with your stressfull comments. Im certainly curious to see how your paper turns out and I think helpful demons are pretty cool. I think writing a paper on demons, helpful ones in particular, is a great and unusual topic.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a really interesting research paper topic, once you get some information. I didn't even know Hindu had demons, thanks for sharing that! And don't worry about the stress, we all feel it. If you maybe broaden your topic a bit, I'm sure there are lots of sources on demons and other creatures.
