Week 10 Reading Diary A: A War is Coming

  • Since we had a week off of school, it took me a while to remember what was happening, and I had to refresh myself on the story so far.
  • I love that every time Duryodhana  tried yet again to make a fool of the Pandavas, only to have to be saved by them afterwards (pages 85-86).
  • Yudhistira had to go through the pain of seeing all of his brother dead on the ground from ignoring the cries od Yama, only to become the hero by answering all of his hard questions, that’s admirable (pages 87-92).
  • And then when talking of entering King Virata’s service, he says that he will play dice with him all day, oh, his brother did not like that statement! (Page 93)
  • Poor Draupadi, who was assaulted by the Queen’s brother. The plight with him, and his death only brought them to Duryodhana’s eye (pages 96-99).
  • Uh-oh, and Duryodhana wants to use the death to his advantage so that he may attack their kingdom (pages 99-102).
  • Wow, Uttara is such a fake. What must have been going through Arjuna’s mind while he drove the man’s chariot into battle? Especially when he ran away (pages 103-105). At least he came back.
  • Duryodhana is so cunning, tricking King Salya into enjoying his treats so that he wil lead his army, but Yudhistira is just as cunning to have him whisper discouragements to Karna in battle (pages 117-119).
  • Poor Dhritarashtra just never knows what to do when it comes to the war between his sons and nephews.
