I went ahead and finished the second half of the reading for today. I really enjoyed the stories associated with Krishna. I found that the stories of his origins and adventures were the most entertaining. I plan on writing about Krishna in my storytelling this week. I took notes over what I liked the most from the chapters.
- The battles with the demons are the most interesting to read
- The descriptions of the demon Naraka is very powerful
- It sets the tone for the chapter and highlights his strength
- I would like to emulate that form of writing
- I think it would help setup my stories a lot better if I used that much descriptive detail
- Krishna easily dismantles the fortifications of the demons
- I like how the story emphasizes how skilled and powerful Krishna is
- He then easily defeats the five headed demon hiding in the moat
- Krishna then proceeds to easily defeat the almighty Naraka
- He is very generous and frees the thousands of people being held captive
- He also gives away the wealth acquired from his victory
- The thousand arms of Bana were a cool feature
- I like how he was so devoted to what he believed
- This made him come across as a very fierce and tough demon
- His arrogance and overconfidence would prove to be his undoing
- This seems to be a common theme in a lot of these stories
- It was interesting to see Krishna show mercy on the demon king
- Bana repented for his wrong doings as soon as he realized how foolish he was
- This was definitely something that I did not expect to happen
