I watched TEDed videos about language. I definitely learned a lot from watching these ted talks. I always wondered how all different languages came to be but after watching the ‘How languages evolve’ video I learned how the languages came to be. English is a very common language that many people from all over the world speak. I learned so much about the background of the language of english and why some of the words of other languages are similar to english. These videos seemed so basic when I first started watching them and it seemed like the video consist of things we learned as a little child in school. As the videos went on I started to become more interested and I really learned a lot of new things that I did not know. It is important to know where languages come from and just more about it since we use it everyday. We also see how languages get changed over time. Slang gets picked up and the old language gets changed. One of the best videos was ‘Where do new words come from?’ bec...

Krishna is by far on of the most interesting character from all the other ones I have known about. He is so nice and clever. Krishna shares his food with other people even though he doesn’t have to. Shows the he is a very nice person. Krishna also was tested where he proved himself really well. Brahma ended up taking Krishna’s cows and his friends which would be a problem but Krishna was so smart that he handled the situation really well. He ending up creating the lost cows out of himself which is very clever. Something amazing was that no one could tell the difference between the original cow and the ones that Krishna made out of himself. After seeing this the creator of the universe realized how special Krishna really was. Through other situation we see that Krishna stays by his words. Whatever he says he makes it happen such as he said he will ride Hastin, the angry bull, soon and he did indeed. He slowly got closer to the bull which was a smarter move then just making him angry fo...

I want to focus on Kansa who I found a interesting character in the story of Krishna life. He is a very strong character that we learn about. He is known as a king who is very cruel. The people of the place he was ruling were not happy and wanted peace from him. Voice from the sky told him about how he would die and also how his sister’s son would be his slay. With this situation we saw his angry side where he tired to kill his own sister. He did love her but he still did not care about that in the beginning then the anger came out. His sister begged to leave them alive so Kansa listened. But he was so cruel that he threw both his sister and her husband in jail as punishment. He is also selfish and we see this with how he wanted to save himself and that is all he cared about. He was willing to kill anyone for himself. He was going to kill innocent babies to safe himself. Just because he was so cruel he killed all of Devaki’s children when he didn’t have to. He was only supposed to kill...
