Reading Week 13: Ramayana Part B

The opening part of this reading was very surprising, and I liked it! In my stories I have always tried to thrill the reading and take turns they were not expecting. When Dasharatha plans to make Rama his successor, I thought it was just going to play out normally and Rama would be the next King. But Kaikeyi uses two promises that Dasharatha owes and Rama doesn't only not become king, but he gets exiled! I thought this was a very good twist.

Reading Week 13: Ramayana Part A.

This week I read Buck Ramayana. It was weird seeing Sauti tell the story of the Mahabharata because we have already read that this semester! It was very cool seeing King Dasharatha in the story again, because I have included him in a story in my portfolio. In this story, he prepares a sacrifice to obtain sons. In my story, and went to fight the ten headed monster to get sons. I liked the reading this week, and am looking forward to reading B.
