Week 13 Reading B: The Mahabharata Part 2

For today's reading, I watched the next part of The Mahabharata directed by Peter Brook.  I think the main part I will focus on for a story this week is in the beginning of this section when Draupadi and the Pandavas are speaking with Krishna.  Krishna tells them Yudhishthira is the king the Earth needs. but Yudhishthira doubts this.  I feel like I can easily do a crossover with Avatar here and include bits on Aang's doubts for being able to defeat the Fire Nation.  I'll need to do a bit of research to figure out which characters in Avatar really fit well with the Mahabharata characters.  Another option would be to use characters from the Avatar sequel, The Legend of Korra.  Some of these characters might be better reflections of the Mahabharata characters.

So, about my major...  I am fascinated by languages and everything about them.   If you are unfamiliar with linguistics, that’s totally fine.  Most people I encounter outside of my major don’t really know what it is either.  Linguistics is a sub-field of anthropology that focuses on language.  I really like the more technical aspects of my major. For example, I really love phonetics, a sub-field of linguistics.  This field foc...

The Banishment

As Prince Zuko entered the grand hall of the palace, the celebrations over took him.  He noticed the relics from the Earth Kingdom that were on display in the center of the room.  Speaking with his uncle, Prince Zuko marveled at the delicate decorations on these artifacts.  He discussed with his uncle how it is almost tragic to take such beautiful pieces of history away from their people, even if taking them was a symbol of his own nation's power.   Prince Zuko's sister, Princess Azula, overheard this conversation and immediately decided to tell their father about what Zuko had said.  Princess Azula has always been incredibly jealous of her brother for no reason other than he was the first born, so he would inherit the title.  Princess Azula knew Zuko's words would cause their father to be angry and outraged at his own son's words.   After telling Firelord Ozai, Azula and Zuko's father, Princess Azula tried very hard to hide a smile from cr...
