Out of the stories in the Part A section, this one stuck out to me
mainly because I had an idea for my own version of the story, but also because
I enjoyed the descriptions throughout it.
In my idea, I would shorten the story to mainly the part where it
involves Hidimba,Hidimbi, and Bhima. As I have done all semester, I would
relate this story to dogs to fit in with my portfolio by making Bhima be a dog
handing out in a country setting where two coyotes (Hidimba and Hidimbi) want
to come and eat the animals. I was thinking that instead of the Hidimbi (or the
coyote that represents her) transforming into another form like a woman, I
would have her try to get a hair cut and look nice like a dog in order to
approach Bhima and make them fall in love. I was thinking that I could have
Hidimba and Bhima still fight like they do in the original story, but instead
of Hidimba dying, I was thinking of a more peaceful ending like making some
kind of deal. I think this would allow for a more modern style of this story as
well as a better story fit for a younger audience which I have tried to reach
out to. I probably wouldn’t continue to story and involve the Baka though.

In terms of the details that I enjoyed in this story, I really
enjoyed the part where Hidimbi first sees Bhima and describes how handsome she
thinks he is. I felt that I could truly picture what he looked like and also
through the detail was able to understand the attraction level she had. I also
felt that I could imagine the action of Bhima killing Hidimba by throwing him
against the ground. These details made the story great and remind me how a
story can truly capture emotion by being descriptive and adding details.
