Mahabharata More Reading (B)

-
For my second extra reading assignment I decided to continue watching the videos I started the other day. While I do think reading the original text I think that this can be very beneficial as well. I especially enjoyed the story about the Pandavas and how it was told here. A few things that I think could've made it better would have been if there was color. I preferred the film Sita Sings the Blues because of its more movie like qualities. It could have been more enjoyable if it used more of a storytelling technique.

    Hi Joanna, just a quick note to say that the idea is to take notes that will help you with your storytelling, so focusing in on a specific episode, something that you might want to retell in your own way. I'm not sure the notes you took here are really going to help you when you go to write a story this week since for A and B you did not mention any specific episode/event that got your attention in this animated retelling. So, keep that in mind: the goal with the reading notes is to organize your ideas for writing a story of your own.

Hi everyone, my name is Joanna and I'm a senior with a double major in Accounting and MIS. I grew up in Rockwall, Texas, a small suburb in Dallas. My mom was born and raised in Sri Lanka, a small island in South Asia. She moved to Kansas when she was 17 to attend college and escape the dangers of the civil war that was taking place at the time. My dad was born in Sri Lanka as well but grew up in London. On a gondola in Venice. Source: personal photo Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada. Source: personal photo One of my favorite things to do is travel. I think part of this has to do with the fact that I have family all around the world. From a young age I've been flying off to London almost every year to spend Christmas with my cousins. Some of my favorite places I've been to are Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, and Switzerland. It's always been a dream of mine to visit Machu Picchu in Peru and I hope that one day I can. My dog Teddy is my best fri...

Week 13 Story: Gandhari's Story

Gandhari listened on from the main hall as her father and Bhishma. She knew they were talking about her and from the sounds of it she had just received another marriage proposal. “But he’s a prince!” Bhishma insisted. “My daughter can’t marry a man like that.” Her father replied angrily. A man like what? Ghandari wondered as she continued to listen on for clues as to whom they were talking about. Suddenly she heard a loud band as the door to her father’s office flew open. She tried to act natural, pretending to be engrossed in a book that had been open in her lap. “Daughter, Bhishma has a proposal for you. The prince Dhiritarashtra, from Kuru. The only problem is he’s blind. I understand if you don’t want to have to live with this for the rest of your life. Say the word and I’ll send him away.” Ghandari was shocked that her father would think she was that shallow. She rolled her eyes as she thought about it. People in the kingdom were always calling her stuck up and selfish. If on...
