Reading Notes: Ramayana, Section C

Hanuman being taken to Ravana. Source: Wikipedia

For my storytelling for this week, I want to recreate the moment where Ravana is persuading Sita to leave Rama for him, all while Hanuman is watching the whole moment. The thing I want to change is the perspective of the scene. I want to tell my story through the eyes of Sita and try to explain what she is feeling while Ravana is trying to pursue her. The section about this scene in the PDE Ramayana is quite short. However, I will lengthen it with Sita's thoughts and I will also add some dialogue between Sita and Ravana.

I would like to add the section where Sita and Hanuman meet and have a conversation. I want to portray through words that Sita is happy to see him and that this means Rama will be coming soon to save her. I will add dialogue between Hanuman and the people who capture him to bring him to the feet of Ravana and probably will change the setting where Hanuman and Ravana meet.

I try to make them enjoyable by relating them to concepts I will have to face in the future and how these classes will help me get there. My favorite and best class from last semester was Human Sexuality with Professor Dennison because I loved the way he taught the subject. He was funny and made the topics not embarrassing to talk about on a daily basis. I also learned some pretty useful things in the class that will help me in the future. My biggest accomplishments last semester were completing and submitting my application for Nursing a

Turtle graffiti. Source: Pixabay   Long, long ago, there was a castle in the foothills of the of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania, was an elegant castle fit for the king of kings. At this castle lived King Arjun and his 2 daughters, Eshani and Karishma. One day, on a warm autumn evening, the two girls went out to play in the valley, not far from the castle. After playing with the rocks and mud by the river, Eshani and Karishma came across a strange looking creature upon a hill that resembled a dragon and became fearful. "Should we go tell father?" asked Eshani. "Yes, let's go before it destroys the valley and heads for our home!" said a concerned Karishma. The girls quickly ran inside and screamed for their father. King Arjun was in the middle of polishing his armor when the girls interrupted him. "What is going on?" said King Arjun in a firm and slightly agitated manner. "There is a dragon in the river that runs through the valley
