Mahabharata:
12. Pandavas and Kauravas
I like this story for its imagery and description. I could take whats already written and set it into a different time period or change the setting. Also, I like how the description of the sages portrays them so mystically. In my retelling, I could make them seem as ethereal and otherworldly as possible. Maybe I could take inspiration from my "favorite places" blog and set it in wyoming, and the sages live in the mountains?
17. The Contest
I have not yet done a retelling of a poetic episode.. so this could be a new challenge for me. When it says "drew the scene", I feel like this could be an opportunity for some heavy description. I wonder if these bows could draw any similarities to Rama's bow that killed Ravana?
