Mahabharata Reading Notes-Part B

 I found part B of the Mahabharata to be just as interesting and enjoyable to read as I did part A. However, for me it was somewhat difficult to follow along with all of the different characters. On the other hand I feel like it might be due to how much time I spend trying to pronounce the names correctly and not knowing if I am right or wrong. On the other hand, I think because I am using the Looney Tunes as the basis of my Project, that these stories may carry with them lot of ideas on how to incorporate a plethora of characters all at once. Throughout this Part B, I realized how the characters names are recited over and over again in order to help make them familiar in the reader's mind. It also helps to try and keep things right in the reader's mind by not using many pronouns such as he, she, his and her and instead used the individuals names.

On pg. 55 and pg. 66 the first game of dice and the second are both ones that I could see using the Looney Tunes in place of the original story's characters. This story could be used in the sense of an antagonist and protagonist like some of the others I have done or I could possibly use it as a feel good story. I could see a couple of the Looney Tunes characters also just having a fun day hanging out and playing games all day.

Introduction to Me:)

   This is me.... (Image Information: personal photo of me; photo from August 2020.) My name is Carlee and I am in my Senior year!! (Super exciting, scary and sad all at the same time) The past three years have flown by and I have no doubt that this one will be the same. Hopefully, it doesn't go too fast, as I am still in the process of figuring out what my life will look like after graduating. I had always been the student in college that took as many classes as possible to try and graduate early until I realized that there was no fun in that. Now I am trying to enjoy my last year, take it as it comes and live in the moment.  Unrelated to school, I enjoy doing a lot of different random things. Thanks to quarantine, I have gone from a place where I could be featured on America's Worst Chefs to an advanced novice (those two words don't really belong together but you get the point) in all things sushi and tacos. I also have a great appreciation for reading and even get made f

Week 5 Story: Gossip and the Swim Day

Image
 Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Porky Pig loved the time of year when the sun began to rise a little earlier, stay a little longer, and fall a little later. They all loved this time of year because they knew that Spring was arriving and summer would not be far behind.  Today was the first day that the water down at the spring would finally be warm enough to go for a swim. Everyone was thrilled and could not wait to get down to the spring and beat the rush of people who would join them in the afternoon.  As they began to prepare their day and pack their bags, Daffy Duck began to talk. He asked the group, "Have you guys heard what Sylvester was telling people last night at the movies?" The rest of the gang thought that Daffy Duck was just talking like he always does and wanted to start drama, but they all joined in and replied, "No, what did he say?" "Well, you are not going to believe me. But, he was telling us that you Porky Pig were being cruel to him and
