Well I finally finished the Mahabharata by Peter Brook! It
was fantastic! I did not write a story on it last week just because I was not
really sure what I wanted to do it over, and I was so busy last week. Just a
brief wrap up of the Mahabharata though that really stuck out to me were: both
Duryodhana and Yudhishthira thought they had the right to be king. Arjuna’s
son, Abhimanyu, killed Duryodhana’s son and defeated Duryodhana. He was great
in his fight but eventually was killed. This was so sad for
me! Abhimanyu was doing so great killing all these great warriors and
eventually dies in battle. For some reason Arjuna and Draupadi were my favorite
characters as you can tell. I have been writing about them for weeks now. When
Arjuna found out the death of his talented son, Abhimanyu, he was furious and
vowed to kill Jayadratha by the next day at sunset. Arjuna killed Jayadratha-
which was a good think honestly because if he did not fulfill his vow he was
going to have to kill himself. Poor Abhimanyu had a son! The sons name was
Parikshit. He was next in line to the throne after Yudhishthira. I am so sad
the Mahabharata is over, but I am excited to start something new. I need some
more interesting story ideas to add to my portfolio!
