Week 7 Reading Diary: The Adventures of Arjuna




I decided to read the Mahabharata by C.A. Kincaid. The reading is basically talking about the Pandava brothers as the heroes and they are basically considered as “Princes of Elephant City”. I just got done with reading part A and I thought it was very interesting. I really loved the story about the adventures of Prince Arjuna. I remember reading about him before and I thought he was interesting so I thought seeing how the author portrayed him in there stories would be interesting. I was caught up in this story they way the author characterized each character in the story. It introduces some familiar names but at the same time the author uses them differently in the stories. I like seeing how the author uses them because it shows me the author’s ideas to an extent. I also thought this story was cool because of the mood. The mood in my opinion is exciting. I got a sense of excitement while reading this and it also put a picture in my head. If anyone reads my comments or diaries, I have emphasized the idea of getting a picture in my head when I read a story. I think it is important because it makes me think about what I am reading and I am more of a visually reader. I like seeing pictures that come in my mind when the author introduces an event that is happening. In this story I saw pictures thought reading it and that is why it separates it from the others.
