Alex Lagge's India Adventure

"What a lovely night", Grayson thought. He had just gotten married to his beautiful bride. Art Girl was the perfect woman she could paint better than anyone and she was a model. Grayson was absolutely in love with her and couldn't wait for the honeymoon. Since he had started his new job at Goldman Sachs he was living large. He got the best hotel in the most romantic destination for their retreat. Plus his best friend Sebastian had given them a great deal on the place. Sebastian was a successful rental property manager turned Hotel owner.  All of his friends said good bye and wished them well on the vacation. The flight to their destination felt like eternity for the newly weds. They were so excited to finally make it there that they were bursting with excitement. The hotel was magnificent. "Hey guys welcome to the hotel", Sebastian greeted. "I hope you enjoy the stay; I have given you guys the best room in the hotel". The couple ran to their room...

The House of Fire: Price Viruda is the smartest of his brothers but is not able to be the kind becasue his mom is a slave. He is kind and just and doesn't have hatred in him like his brothers. Yudhishthira is also on good terms with Viruda. Yudhishthira goes with his mom to a palace but quickly realize that there is a trap set for him and his mom to be killed. It is very obvious that the King is trying to have all of them killed. I mean come on there is oil all over the palace and the whole palace became highly flammable wood out of no where. The only thing that I am kinda confused about is why it took so long for the plan to be enacted. I mean Yudhishthira had enough time to have a miner dig out a whole tunnel and they still hadn't set fire to their palace. I'm just confused what the king was thinking because even if he didn't realize it right away he would have seen eventually all the signs for a fire. This was by far the worst premeditated murder attempt I have ever ...

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.
