I have noticed that there are a lot of fights that occur in
the Mahabharata. It seems as if this is one of the first things that comes into
every character’s head. It is almost like they think that if a conflict needs
to be resolved then fighting is the best way to do that. I could write a story
where there is a large fight scene. This would accurately display the level of
fighting in the Mahabharata. Conflict is resolved by fists.
For my storybook I am writing about Curses. I have found a
part of the Mahabharata that would be good to use for my storybook. It is the
chapter “Abhimanyu and Jayadratha”. I could also practice writing a story on a
curse this week.
“May the curse of a
father and the vengeance of a warrior smite the murderers of my boy!”
This quote is powerful. It shows the true emotion that a
father feels for his slain son. It seems as if Arjuna will dedicate his life to
avenge the death of his son. This is never a good thing for a character to do,
but it does mean there is a good story coming! I could write a story where a
family member is devastated by the death of another family member and the only
way that they can cope is to find the perpetrator and hurt them. This would
still be a story of love, but it would involve so much more. It is more of a
protective and long lasting love rather than an affectionate love. This would
allow me to have more experience writing different stories. It would contain
action and some gruesome details. I would probably make it modern day. It seems
as if nothing can break the bond and love that a parent has for a child.
