Mikayla's Epics of India

    Never Knew I Died         My entire life has been a series of disappointments. I never have expectations and I always end up being disappointed. I never feel like I am seen or heard, no one pays any mind to me. I feel invisible like I could walk through walls. My parents treat me like a missing person but I have been right in front of their eyes all along, they cry for me every night, but I never left. They talk about me in the past tense, I never understood why. They aren't happy on my birthday, and they never buy me any toys anymore. They took all of my things and boxed them up and hid them in the attic. It's not fair, they treat me like a ghost. A Terrible Costume     This year for Halloween I want to go as something I have never been before. We often wear costumes of the things we fear, the things that we want to be, or the things we could only imagine in our worst nightmare. This year, with the collection of sexy nurses and spooky zo...

  The story I liked this most from Part C of the Marabharata reading is  The Burning of the Forest  because of how eventful the story is, and based off of how easy I will be able to recreate it. I think that this story is a really good turning point for the story and really gives a good look into what the rest of the story will look like.  One of the most important sections of the story is the end: "A great battle ensued. Indra was defeated. When he poured down torrents of rain, Arjuna extinguished it with his arrows. Great multitudes of animals, uttering fearful yells and in great agony, perished in the flames. Only six creatures escaped: the snake Ashwasena, a son of Takshaka ; four birds; and the demon Maya , who was the son of a rishi . But the object was accomplished, and Agni became once more bright and vigorous. He had drunk rivers of fat and marrow."  I think that this story has a lot of potential to write about because I could go in a lot of different di...

  Alright, well here we go! Unfortunately I missed a lot from last week due to mental health reasons, but I am hoping that this week will be different. I am hoping to be a little less harsh on myself and give myself some more understanding, otherwise, I won't enjoy the readings. So far I have adored all of part A from the Mahabharata, it is such a riveting story. I really enjoyed the Ramayana but I feel like it got a bit redundant. The story I found most interesting was  Drona Trains the Princes . I am going to wind up writing my story this week about this story, I believe because it is such a classic style of training story. I think that I could write a really good tale of jealousy with this story, or create a good training scene type of story. There is a lot of direction that I could take with any number of these stories, but I particularly liked this story for the lesson it helps teach as well as the mythology and story behind it.
