Reading Notes: Krishna- Sister Nivedita, Part B

I went ahead and finished the second part of the reading today. I looked for differences between the two versions of Krishna's adventures. I took notes over what I noticed and liked the most.

• The second portion of the reading contains different stories 
• I recognized a lot of what the stories were about from previous reading
• It talks of the Pandavas and other adventures
• It goes into depth about Duryodhana
• Krishna and the Pandava heroes and Krishna team together
• They end up being victorious in the struggle
• The battle for the kingdom was hard fought
• There was not an heir to rule the kingdom
• The throne was now under their control
• However, their homes were no longer occupied
• I think these events were definitely worth reading about
• I found it interesting that the two versions contained different stories
• I thought they would mirror each other in summary
• The first part of the reading remained fairly similair
• It was a bit different as I expected to see the same stories
• I did find that this version contains more detail and visual description
• It does a better job describing the emotions of the characters
• Overall, I have some good options for storytelling this week
