The Mahabharata: Part D

Below my reading notes will be about the story of the Arjuna and Karna.

I enjoyed reading this story because it reminded me of Achilles and Hector in the Trojan War. The Achaeans slaughtered the Trojans and desecrated the temples. Therefore, they earned their gods' wrath. I love this story because the Trojans showed their dedication to their great city Troy and they were powerfully lead by Priam. While reading the battle between Arjuna and Karna I could picture the arrows flying back and forth between each other. I plan to rewrite this story by amping up this battle scene! I am thinking about switching the setting to maybe a old time western theme. I want to  paint this picture of Arjuna and Karna coming in on horses with their riffles. When Arjuna said, " Pause, O Karna. According to the rules of battle, thou canst not attach a disabled foeman." I want to create that moment again in my story but using a different saying. Karna was very determined to fight and kill Arjuna because he did not even hesitate to stop shooting his arrows when Arjuna cried aloud.

This is a very intense and bloody battle, so when I recreate this story I want the same kind of intensity in the story. I am going to change the characters names as well. Karna seemed very powerful in this story so in my story I want to give him a name that has a powerful meaning.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
