Week 11, Reading Diary B: The Banishment Days

The king sends the Pandavs away and Duryodhana decides to set fire to the house, but Pandav build a tunnel and manage to escape and live in another forest as Brahmins. BhÄ«ma defeats the demon that was asking for yearly human sacrifices. King Drupada wanted a son who can defeat Drona so he begged Shiv who told him to pour two cups of butter in fire, one for a son and another for a daughter. Vyasa takes the Pandavs to Draupadi’s swayamvar where Arjun wins the archery contest. All five marry Draupadi. The king is glad to find out that the Pandavs are alive so he gives them a piece of land and they build a city on it. Arjun goes to visit Krishna where he falls in love with his sister and he marries her. Duryodhana comes to visit the new palace where he gets confused and the brothers make fun of him so they are invited to gamble dice.

  1. I usually write in bullet points, but I like that you chose to write in paragraph form. I might have to try that next time. Your diary was short, sweet, and to the point. I like that it doesn’t get you bogged down and that it is a good refresher for what happened in the story. I think I might revisit your page if I need a refresher on what happened!
