Reading Notes: Mahabharata PDE Part D

I really like the note taking style I adopted for Part C, so I will utilize this same strategy on Part D.

Pandavas Depart
Bhima and Duhshasana: This scene was very violent and reminded me of one of my favorite shows, The Originals. This episode illustrated the combat and war between the Pandava Army, Karna, and Duhsasana. Chariots were crossing the battle field left and right slicing and blowing down the warriors fighting with Karna and Duhshasana. Bhima seizes Duhshasana and dismembers him. He decapitates his foe and drinks his blood. This act is very vile, which lead me to think about the aforementioned show. The Originals a has a character named Klaus, who is one of the original vampires of the town. He's one of a kind because he's a hybrid, vampire and werewolf. With that being said, when Klaus goes to war to keep peace in his town he drinks the blood of his victims.
I'm thinking that I really want to utilize this story for my portfolio possibly.

Introduction from a Coffee Connoisseur

Image
  Image information: Personal photo at Coffee Shop and Pizzeria in Italy May 2015          Coffee is available in all types of flavors and states; you have hot coffee, frozen coffee, coffee beans, chocolate covered coffee beans, frappes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. Beyond the different consistencies of coffee there are thousands of flavors. Life is a lot like a cup of coffee. At first, coffee can be bitter, but you learn to love it or find another blend that best suits you. I've always loved coffee, but there are definitely a few flavors that prefer over the rest. Everyone has different aspects of their lives that they enjoy and choose highlight. Now, you will learn about the favorite aspects of my life, (outside of the coffee). {A hot caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso is my go-to beverage all year round.} My full name is Hannah Elisabeth Pope and I’m a full-time junior here at the OU.

Storytelling: MyLife's a Charm

Image
On the hard,cold wooden desk I sat just waiting until the day we would chat. I was yours since the day you were born, but not for long I shall warn.  I watch you both day and night, but never on your mind, always out of sight. I was there to see you walk and cry,  but I hope that when it's time to meet you're not shy.  You toss and turn all night long , trying to fight this pull that's so strong. You wake up with sweats and eyes full of terror,  but then you turn over to see me on you dresser.  You pick me up and twirl me around, knowing that I'm your comfort when comfort can't be found.  Your attachment to me weakens as you mature through the years,  but there's a calling on your life so it appears.  A whole new world and kingdom awaits for you and me, just step into the world of the rakshashi. Beep! Beep! Beep! After five minutes of hearing the annoying alarm clock, Shala finally reaches out from underneath her five down pillows and

Week 4 Storytelling: My Savior In Ashoka Grove

Image
Ashoka Grove was a beautiful resting ground in the middle of a dark, evil-ridden forest. The flowers ranged from pink, puffy ashoka blossoms, orange lotuses, to beautiful Malobar daffodils, orchids, and magnolias. The aroma was overwhelming and enchanting. It was a scene so serene. The crisp, warm spring breeze would blow and pick up the swirling pool of petals collecting on the ground  in a whirlpool and sweep them up into the air. The whistle of the wind was a harmonious sound to the ears of the grove's visitors; it is a sound so hypnotizing and enticing that the visitors go numb to the razor-sharp teeth of the rakshasas that are sinking into the veins of their warm, fleshy necks and limbs. For years, Ashoka Grove was a hot attraction. Thousands of visitors would venture across the world to experience such a magnificent wonder of Mother Nature. People from all walks of life could be seen lying down in the mounds of petals on the ground trying to make a "flower angel."
