Reading Notes: Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution, Part C

-

For today's reading notes I wrote about Bhima Kills Bakaura. After the escaping the fire, the Pandavas seek refuge. They settle in the city of Ekachakra when a scholar offers them shelter. One day, Kunti hears the scholar scream. When she asks what is wrong, he tells her about Bakasura. Bakasura is an Asura who wrecks havoc in their town. To satisfy his hunger, Bakasura would go into town kill people and eat them. One day, the townspeople and Bakasura came to an agreement that one person in town would provide food for him once a week. However, when this agreement came into play Bakasura ended up eating the person who delivered the food. This week is was the scholar's turn to be the person to deliver the food. After hearing this, Kunti offered for her son Bhima to go in his place. Bhima obliged and went to Bakasura. When Bhima arrived, Bakasura saw that the cart was empty. Bakasura was big mad. They started fighting. No matter how Bakasura was he was not a match for Bhima. The city of Ekachakra celebrated. I really liked this story because I thought it was funny how Bhima ate the food that was meant for Bakasura. If I were to retell this story I would add dialogue.

Hello, my name is Joanna Yoon. I am a student of the University of Oklahoma. I am a junior majoring in biology pre-medicine. I am also minoring in chemistry and Spanish. I chose biology pre-medicine as my major for my dream job, a neonatal doctor. When I was in high school, I volunteered for two years in the neonatal intensive care unit at Integris Hospital. It was then I realized that I wanted to do more for these babies. At a young age, these babies were already facing complications, and I wanted to be the doctor who made them healthy. Currently, I volunteer at Norman Regional Hospital and a free clinic called Manos Juntas. Along with volunteering, I work two jobs. I work at Charlestons in Norman on weekends as a server and a lab technician at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation on weekdays. To take a break from all this work, I have a dog. He is an Australian Shepherd whose name is Rocky after my favorite rapper A$AP Rocky. I got him last summer, and it’s been quite a jour

Note: This story is now part of my  Porfolio  website. This website will have the more current version. In a swamp you could hear the hungry whines of a young crocodile. "Dad, I am so hungry! I think I might die if I don't eat soon. We haven't eaten in 2 days," said the young crocodile. "I know son, but there are no animals left for us to eat," said the crocodile. "I am so hungry I might even try to eat the fruits off of the trees,",said the young crocodile. "Well let me know when you can climb up a tree," said the crocodile chuckling. "Better yet, how about you bring that monkey so we can eat him," said the young crocodile with his eyes gleaming and his stomach growling. "Son, the monkey is my friend. I don't eat my friends," said the crocodile. However, as the days went on the crocodile became hungrier and his son's whining became louder. "Fine, I will convince the monkey that this is like any
