Kamala Markandaya, the author of the best seller Nectar in a Sieve, is an astonishing writer who grew up in an Indian society. Although she has written many other books the Nectar and Sieve is considered her best work. In the novel, Kamala shows you the world in a different point view, by putting you in other peoples shoes. Kamal covers many themes throughout the novel such as hope in the face of suffering.
I will be reading this novel for my English class, and i find the author very interesting. With the many aspects that they portray in the story i believe that this will be a very entertaining book to read. I have read numerous book, but i feel as though this book we will be quite different from the ones i usually read. I also feel as though i will be learning about many ideas and cultures of this book. i am itching to read this book and i cant wait to tell you all about it as i flip through the pages of The Nectar in a Sieve!

The Hero Named Heracles
A mythic hero is a fictitious character who contains good characteristics such as courage, or nobility. One Greek hero that portrays a mythic hero is known as Heracles. A mythic hero is often the offspring of a god, deity, and human being. Heracles is the son of Zeus and Alcemene. Heracles also portrays a mythic hero, because of his superhuman strength, bestowed to him by his father. Heracles is forced to take a set of challenges in order to clear his name for slaughtering his wife and children(he was driven to madness by the goddess Hera). His quest, which is a journey taken in search of something of value, which all mythic an folktale heroes have, was to face 12 devastating challenges, such as defeating the Nemian lion, or going to the underworld. The quest of Heracles portrays all the difficult challenges we have to go through in life.

Lego Robotics
Lego Robotics, is a good way to get to know people better, because of all the teamwork you get to do while constructing it. I got to know a lot about my other teammates. Programming the robot was the easiest part of Lego robotics. Building it was quite complicated and nerving for me. My teammates were quite cooperative, and we collaborated nicely. The name for our robot was called Blaze. She has 2 motors, and a light sensor. I feel like this wont be the last time we do Lego robotics.

Lego Robotics
Today in Computer Lit class to get better at making a LEGO Mindstorm, we started memorizing some pieces. So far, making a mindstorm looks pretty fun, and i cant wait till we actually start building one. There was some pretty cool parts, like the light sensor, and the motion sensor.

Lego Mindstorms !!!
Remember those little brick toys you use to play with when you were 5? that's right, i'm talking about LEGO's! You can show your creativity with these little bricks by constructing what ever you imagine. Using this kit you can go even further and build a customizable robot called aLEGO Mindstorm. This kit comes with a "brick computer" that controls it, a set of modulor sensors and motors to create it. Before you start complaining about how diffucult it is to build, and it might take century for you to build it, the kit comes with an instruction manual that is easy for even a 5 year old to understand. If you wanna check out the Instruction manual, click on the link below. Expand your imagination, buy the LEGO Mindstorm!http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/support/buildinginstructions/default.aspx
