I was kind of confused on what the story meant. I couldn’t tell if it was because I wasn’t focused or what. I just understood that it was about people taking to each other but what they said was kind of confusing. Some parts of it made some sense but the rest just confused me. From what I read and tried to think about, the meaning probably was based off death of a person? I’m not sure if that makes sense or not.
ReplyDeleteI really was very confused what the author meant because I feel like it was sometimes difficult to understand what they were trying to say.
ReplyDeleteNachiketa asked Yama for 3 gifts or as the story states boons. His first gift that he wants is to grant his father's anger to be appeased so when he returns back home his father recognizes his and receives him with love. His second gift form Yama was instructions to the fire sacrifice that lead to heaven and sustains the world. the third gift that he wanted was for Yama to teach him the truth of what happens when people die. like when people die do they still exist or do they just disappear? Yama knew that the doubt haunted even the gods of old and for the secret of death was hard to explain and asked Nachiketa to ask for anything else but Naciketa told Yama that no boon equal to the answer of what happens after death in his opinion.
DeleteI didn’t really get it I was confused.
ReplyDeleteThe story was about a boy who’s dad tells him that he’ll be offered to death. That causes him to go to visit death when he gets there he gets 3 booms which are gifts. He asks for his grandfather to love him. His second boon was for him to learn how to do a fire sacrifice. His last boon was to know what happens when a person dies if they still exists or they they don’t no more
ReplyDeleteWhat I understood was the boys dad tells him to die and the boy says okay I will so then he goes to visit yama.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t understand that good but i think that the 3 booms are wishes and after he finshed wishing for 3 things he would die.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really understand the story that well but from what I gathered was that the boy was given 3 booms *wishes* after his wishes the dad told him he would die .
ReplyDeleteI can tell that Nachiketa felt lonely and felt not loved because who else would wish to be loved by there own father. Nachiketa was religious because he wanted to know how to get into heaven and learn the ritual. Nachiketa was also very curious because he really wanted to know what happen after death even after the king of death yama asked him to choose another boom.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t really understand the story at first but then kind of started catching on. From the few things I understood in the passage was that it was based on death which would happen after using all 3 booms that were given to him. I think he kept using using all his booms because he wanted to experience what would happen after he died.
ReplyDeleteI really don't get what its trying to say at some part i can relate and i get what they are saying. The only part i fully get is that his father was giving the bad cows that give no milk has a gift. And i think if u give something good u get something good. But if u give something bad do u get something bad?

ReplyDeleteWhat I understood from this story is that the dad tells the boy to go to death or die so he can see what happens next after death.
ReplyDeleteI got some parts but it really got confusing when it started talkimg about her husband changing into a creature
