This week I took a stab at the one week video. It was
fantastic. I think I prefer this way of learning the story. I loved the
imagery. I will speak out of order by the way that I found the most
interesting stories in order. I have been zoning out on the reading of the
story of Ekalavya. I find this story to be so powerful. Even as time has past,
I continue to the think about the injustices placed on Ekalavya by Drona. The
way this story grips me using injustice for the sake of nothing but ambition
and the pride of a spoiled child. I really cant stand Drona or Arjuna at this
point. In fact I am hoping something bad happens to them immediately. What a
great job by the story teller to raise this emotion up in a reader. We love to
hate people that having wronged others and then seem to thrive. I think for my
story, I will allow my villain to thrive in the face of complete and total
injustice served on another that did not deserve such treatment. The more
virtuous the better. I will make my readers hate the villain and then maybe
force them to see it from the villain perspective until they love the villain and
then maybe I will kill the villain to perpetuate the strong emotional response.
I also have picked up on using brief tid-bits of the story to make a great
point of highlighting the story only to keep moving quickly to the next topic. The
strange mass of flesh seemed weird and memorable. I could use oddities to
confuse and fascinate my readers. I caught myself thinking ahead, perhaps
because I know the story, that the mass of flesh is the 100 sons. Of course we
knew this was going to happen but still, the second time it was much more
powerful
