Reading Notes: Mahabharata, Part B



Wife of the Five Pandavas: This was one of the few stories to catch my attention, mainly because I thought it was interesting how a woman had 5 husbands, when typically you only hear of men having more than one wife during those times. As I read it I thought to myself "how interesting/ terrible would it be to be a woman living with 5 guys?" Then I thought it would be fun to write a story from snow white's point of view when she was living with he 7 dwarfs, but in this case she would be living with 5! Just trying to keep the fairytale stories alive.

Arijuna and Ulupi : I really enjoyed reading this one too because it tied hand in hand with the first story I like from Part B. When reading about the "rules" the brothers had established, I thought it would be fun to combine these two stories and replace the "rules" with the "Bro code".  It would be a fun spin for the part of the code that is broken to be that no one falls for the girl roommate and then as punishment if they do, the 'bro' has to leave for 12 weeks to get over his crush.

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service!

I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Image
Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
