Week 4 Reading Diary Continued: Panchatantra

Here are some more notes on my reading for week 4 over Panchatantra.

I think it is interesting how each side of our brains can specialize in a certain things that make us who we are. I think it would be fun to personify each hemisphere of our brain in a story. One side could be like a hipster that likes to make art and do creative things and the other could be the nerd that likes to do sudoku and play chess at the library with older men. Maybe they could end up meeting each other and decide to work together on a project at work and end up realizing they are a good pair and they end up making something incredible.

I think it could be interesting to do a story about how a character goes to unheard of lengths to attain wealth. Doing things that are outrageous and ridiculous in order to have more of a feeling of power and stability. He then suddenly realizes that this feeling is only fleeting and that it has left him empty once again. He starts to think about money and how it controls him and aspects of his life even when he realizes it is as important to him anymore. He realizes how broken the world is due to greed. 

I think it would also be interesting to write a story about a scenario where an animal hordes all of the food and resources from the other animals does it in such a way that those resources can't reproduce. Afterwards when those things run out and he is left with nothing and no friends he realizes what a mistake he made.
