I rather like the stories I've read from the Mahabharata. Here are a few I liked that I could possibly use later in the class:

Tales of Arjuna - Interesting stories.  Several of the stories involve self-immolation. I wonder if that'll be prevalent in a lot of the stories.

Mahabharata: The Great Epic of India - A lot of events happen in this one. For sure could derive several stories from the ones in the comic.

Subhadra: Beloved Sister of Krishna and Balarama - Lots of romance in this one and quite a bit of drama. Could definitely be used to add some more layers to other stories.

Arjuna is a big character in all these stories. His character stood out to me quite a bit for some reason, so I think I'll use him quite a bit. Here's a picture of a statue of him:

A common denominator in the books that I read are that they are all in the fantasy genre. Boo...

Week 12 Storytelling: Words Heeded

**PORTFOLIO UPDATE: https://sites.google.com/view/dawsonpleasant/words-heeded Vashi and Targo were brothers born to a great king. The king had kept their herd safe for years and years under his watchful eye. This world carried many dangers for their kind and if they weren’t careful, death would find them in the blink of an eye. When the cold winds started to fade away and the suns warmth once again covered the land, the king knew it was time. Their herd had a powerful desire for the crops that the humans grew each year. Inevitably, some of the foolish deer in their herd would wander into their fields and get caught by the traps that the humans set for them. After the king’s own brother was lost to the humans, he decided to enact a plan to save the lives of his herd. When the crops started to become ripe, the king would split the herd into thirds. Each herd would go far away from the human settlements and stay there until the humans had finished their work with their crop...
