Hunter/gatherers and us

Hunter/gatherers are people who forage for food. While it might seem that we have little to nothing in common with these people but in truth, while there are many differences there are some things that we all share in common. Some examples of things that are different are that they hunt for food and that they did not have access to the technology that we have today. Yet another difference is that we have different ways of getting food. One more is that we have more leisure and as such we are not as strong or fast or have as quick reflexes as our ancestors. However, we are still human beings with the same needs, the same need for friends and the same hatred of being alone. We still need food, we still need water and we still need a purpose.

What does it mean to live responsibly?

What does it mean to live responsibly? To live responsibly is to recycle and reuse the things we have instead of throwing things away. If we do this then maybe we can save adorable animals like the fennec fox

The end of the Hinduism posts

 Well this is the end of the run for the blog posts on Hinduism. I've sure learned a lot from the research I did for it. The world has changed because of this religion. India's culture has undoubtedly been changed from what it would have been without it. It is a very interesting religion with many fun customs that I didn't get to talk about like the exchanging of garlands, a customary wedding ritual. Her are some of the links I used to find information for this: uri.org/kids/world-religions/hindu-beliefs for some of the information in the second blog post, https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/hinduism-in-images/ for the pictures in the blog post in the Ramayana and in the other one with Hinduism pictures, and The Ramayana Summary | GradeSaver for the information in that post.

The Ramayana

      Hello, it's your host again. Once again I'm going to be discussing Hinduism. I will be discussing the Ramayana, an important piece of literature not just for Hindus but an epic of, well epic proportions. I have not read it but I will be putting what I know in a summary. Rama, the hero of the story and considered an incarnation of Vishnu, one of the Hindu gods, is able to string the bow of Siva allowing him to marry Sita, whose father decided that whoever could string the bow could marry Sita. Now as almost all heroes are, Rama was born in an age in which monsters terrorized the land. In this case, the main one and the one he would known be for defeating was named Ravana, a demon who cannot be killed.

Hanuman with Rama and Sita

      Now after being exiled from his kingdom, Rama was in a forest with Sita and his brother Lakshmana. Ravana kidnaps Sita after hearing of her beauty by having his uncle turn into a beautiful golden stag🦌. Sita, an animal lover, asks Rama to capture the deer and Rama decided to go after the deer. Rama follows the deer for a long way before realizing what it was and shooting it. Ravana's uncle cries out in an imitation of Rama's voice and Lakshmana goes after Rama. Ravana then manages to kidnap Sita. Rama and Lakshmana who then decide to rescue her. They form an alliance with Sugriva, rightful king of the monkeys🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒, and his adviser Hanuman agree to help them rescue Sita if Rama and Lakshmana helped him regain his throne because his brother Vali usurped it. After a long battle, Rama defeated Ravana and rescued Sita as seen in the picture below.

More about Hinduism plus bonus thoughts on Tom Cotton before actual blog post for it goes up

  Hi, I'm back and I'm here to talk about Hinduism. To be specific I'm going to be talking about reincarnation and their caste system. The caste system is a part of Hindu society and it is how it is known what your job will be. Basically, if you are born a servant you will die a servant and if you are born a king you will die a king. The order from most respected to least respected are Brahmin or holy men, Kishatria or warriors and king, then Vaishyas or merchants and landowners, and lowest, Sudra or servants. Below the caste system are the Untouchables, which, as the name suggests should not be touched by those of the higher ranks. They often have the worst jobs. You can only marry others of your caste. Reincarnation is the belief that you will come back to life after death. They believe that if you have done good in life than you will become a higher rank in the caste system but if you have done badly you will become a lower rank or even an animal.


Now for my thoughts on Tom Cotton. I will go deeper in in the actual blog post but for now, I will put the link: /https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/10/5/hour-of-the-shire-folk/. I don't know if I'm allowed to copy it or not so I'll put them in an easy to read format of 1/1/3/3. Now he has only one willpower which is surprising considering how much hobbits love willpower. He is the sturdiest hobbit we've seen yet with the ability to block a king spider which is admittedly not very good but the best hobbit we've seen so far was 2 defence 3 hit points. Those were Bilbo Baggins and Fatty Bolger both of whom are horrible in an actual Hobbit deck. I don't have Bilbo but I have Fatty and I think I played with him once... maybe twice and that was only for the smoke rings and hobbit pipe. Now I realize that I kind of discussed what was supposed to be in the actual post here so I'll stop and repost this as part of my actual post.

 Well, see you when the next blog post is released, also I would still like to see a zombie roleplaying game. Well heading out the door now. 

Hi and what I'm gonna do on this blog

 Hi I'm Jonah and I love among other things, dinosaurs, Lord of the Rings the Card Game LCG, books, math problems and I'm really beginning to love role-playing games. My favourite foods are grapes, apples, and pumpkin bagels. The only good deck I have for Lord of the Rings the Card Game is a tactic Eowyn, Beorn, lore Denethor Ent deck. I'll be writing about my adventures in Middle Earth and other places.  I'm going to post on this whenever I remember to do it hopefully at least every week. I'm going to be doing a series of 5 articles about Hinduism now for a school project but I am not a Hindu myself so please don't get offended. Really, I chose to do this out of the other religions because it seems the most interesting. I would really like to know a good source on Hinduism and its stories. I'd also like to know of any other good LotR decks you have and if you know a good RPG for apocalypses preferably of the zombie kind please tell me.
