Notes Mahabharata Part A Reading Notes

A common character in both stories we have read so far is there being an archer that can beat anyone in their way. I am starting to think having a good skill of archery is something that is looked up on in ancient Indian culture. Bhishma is able to kill all the challengers from his car. I assume this isn't a literal car but maybe a sky chariot as the ancient Indians wouldn't have know what a car is.

Amba is going to meet Bhisma as a warrior later in the story. She gets rejected by noth kings and wants her revenge. She will become a warrior that will kill him. I think this would be a good story for my portfolio as it can show over coming something and maybe showing someone up.





Bhisma another divine archer fighting off the kings

The NFL is the superior football league compared to college. Many people enjoy college football mo...
