Week 10 Reading Krishna: Part B

Part B starts with Krishna as a man who has obviously grown in power. I think that it is interesting that Indra came down to ask Krishna for help. This just shows to me that Krishna is powerful and wise and that he can be trusted to help when called upon. I like that the author of Krishna's story included this tale of Indra coming to him to ask for help. It is a clever way to show Krishna's power aside from all the heroic battle tales and mythical powers he possesses.
     When Krishna fights the demon Muru is probably one of my favorite parts of his tale. This demon reminds me of the Hydra from Greek mythology. I love Greek mythology so this story was right up my alley. It is interesting to me that Muru is gifted in fortification. I like that even though he is gifted in this area he is no match for Krishna. I think this is just another way that the author shows Krishna's power without directly saying it.
      I feel like Krishna did not want to ask for the Parijata tree but since Satyabhama wanted it he asked for it. I think that it was cruel of Satyabhama to ask for it. It was Krishna's deeds that won the prize and I think that he should have gotten something that he really wanted. I like how Krishna is always coming to the aid of those he respects or loves. Saving his grandson is yet another heroic act. I like Krishna's character and I am looking forward to coming up with a story for this week. He has so many qualities that make for a good main character and I really enjoyed reading the stories about him.

(Image Information: Personal Image Whitefield Family; Taken by Hannah Whitefield; Photo from May 2019)  Hi everyone! My name is Hannah Whitefield and I am from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. It's a really cool small town about 45 minutes south of here. There are some pretty cool things in Pauls Valley considering it's a small southern town. We have an action figure museum, water park, movie theater, and what I consider the best Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma. I enjoyed growing up in a small town, but I love living in Norman. There are so many more activities to do along with a faster pace which I have found suits my personality better. I work at Ted's Cafe Escondido part-time. I like working as a waitress, though sometimes being in customer service is trying. My co-workers are all very fun to be around which makes my job much better. I am a senior Psychology major which I absolutely love and think that everyone should study at some point. It's just so interesting! I lov

They did not bite him but wrapped around him and pulled him into very deep waters to drown him. The King of the snakes saw what they were doing and commanded them to let the poor human go. The little snakes obey his command and released the man. When Bheem woke up he looked around in awe of what he saw. He was in an underwater castle and was surrounded by snakes and he could breathe under the water. His memory came rushing back to him and he sprang to his feet. He knew that these snakes were a threat and did not plan to be caught by surprise again. "Calm down Bheem. I am Vasuki, King of the Snakes, and they have been commanded not to harm you." "Vasuki? King Vasuki I mean. Thank you so much for sparing my life!" The king threw a feast in honor of Bheem. He had a wonderful time at the feast and
