Reading Notes: Krishna Notes Part A

I want to focus on Kansa who I found a interesting character in the story of Krishna life. He is a very strong character that we learn about. He is known as a king who is very cruel. The people of the place he was ruling were not happy and wanted peace from him. Voice from the sky told him about how he would die and also how his sister’s son would be his slay. With this situation we saw his angry side where he tired to kill his own sister. He did love her but he still did not care about that in the beginning then the anger came out. His sister begged to leave them alive so Kansa listened. But he was so cruel that he threw both his sister and her husband in jail as punishment. He is also selfish and we see this with how he wanted to save himself and that is all he cared about. He was willing to kill anyone for himself. He was going to kill innocent babies to safe himself. Just because he was so cruel he killed all of Devaki’s children when he didn’t have to. He was only supposed to kill the eight child. He also seemed to be very cold hearted in his life. If someone can hurt anyone, especially a new born baby by smashing them to the wall then they have no heart. Someone so innocent and new to the world that does not know anything has done nothing to Kansa but Kansa still did such a harsh thing without any cringe. He constantly killed all of Devaki’s kids again and again. Everyone feared Kansa especially Vasudev. He was worried that the evil Kansa would take and kill his last son which is the fear that no one should have.

Introduction: A little about me

Hello everyone, my major is Psychology. I want to do my masters in Speech-Language Pathology. After I finish with college, I want to be a Speech Therapist. I also want to move to Texas in the future, I know what you are thinking, boo Texas, but I will still always be a Sooner. I am currently a senior, this will be my 4th year in the University of Oklahoma. My biggest accomplishment last year was figuring out what exactly I wanted to do after I graduate and what I am passionate about which had been a constant struggle for me. This summer I took a trip to Chicago with my sister, it was great exploring a new city. I really enjoy traveling and going to different places. My goal is to visit all 50 states one day, I am almost half way there which is exciting. My favorite  T.V.  show is Friends, just like every other person out there. I enjoy all types of movies but comedy would probably be my favorite. Bollywood movies are also my favorite, they are very different from American movi...

Week 9, Kunti's wishes

Image
There once was a little girl, Kunti, who was extremely sad. She was sad because she never got anything she wanted even after working so hard for it. She prayed and prayed each night hoping to get her wishes fulfilled but not with an honest heart. She was asking out of greed.  One night she is laying in bed next to her sister and just thinking about why she can’t get a job even after she had applied to so many places.  Kunti closes her eyes and prays “ God, why do you put me through so much even after I do good deeds?”  God replies, “ I am only teaching you things that will help you in your future. I am not punishing you my child. Just wait a little more time and your wishes will come true”  Kunti thought to herself “this gives me hope. I have been waiting so long for a job so I can life properly with my sister”  Kunti and her sister have been on there own for the past five years due to the loss of their parents in a car accident. At th...
