This week I chose to read a story that is about Hindu
Legends. I was immediately drawn to this topic because I find it very
interesting. After clicking on it I decided to go forward and reading part A.
I have had a friend that used to live in India and my Aunt
visits there as much as she can, and from the pictures there are always cows!
Even in the movies, there are always cows! I knew that they were sacred in
India but I never knew why. The Sacred Cow story will be very interesting for
me to read as I discover its importance.
It is fascinating to read how they praise the cow. It is
very different then anything I grew up reading, so I can understand how the
people in India truly believe that cows are sacred. The cow is treated like a
King! Getting fresh fruit and getting to sit in the best grass. I think that a
fun idea for a story would be to transfer the cow’s sacredness to America. If I
saw a cow walking around the city then I would think it was a little strange,
and that is the point of the story! It would follow Americans as they realize
that the cows are becoming more important in their lives and that they must
respect the cow. At the end of the story the streets of America would be like
India today. They would not eat beef and honor the cow in everything that they
do. This would be a major culture change to what America is today.
