Reading Notes: Mahabharata, Part B

I really enjoyed this reading, more than any of the others we have had this semester. The dice game was something that I was very intrigued by. I really like gambling and seeing it in an epic was kind of surprising but I liked the story. Shakuni playing dice at Duryodhana's place and Yudhishthira loses everything he owns. I think this story is something that could be altered in many different ways to write my story later this week. One thing I may change is the names of the characters because the originals are very confusing and hard to read. I am excited that that something I can relate to has been included in the epics and I think centering a story around this will be fun.
