Reading Notes: Ramayana, Section D

Vibhishana as a newly crowned king of Lanka. Source: Wikipedia

For my storytelling, I want to write about the battle scene between Rama and Ravana. I found this scene interesting and it kept me engaged in reading. When I do my retelling, I will make the scene more intense with exchanges of dialogue between the characters, especially Rama and Ravana. I will add a lot of dialogue because I feel that it is really important, especially in a scene like this. The readers need to know the thoughts and feelings of the characters through the conversations (or arguments) they have with each other.

Instead of Rama using Brahma's flaming weapon, I want Ravana to be killed by a lightning bolt created by Rama with the new found power he secretly was hiding from everyone. I believe this will throw an interesting twist to the story and make it more interesting.

I want the crowning of Vibhishana to be the most royal and elaborate ceremony where everyone is there to celebrate the joyous occasion. His proclamation as king is a monumental event in history.

I love school and I will try my best to make any class fun and I think of classes as a stepping stone to where I need to be. 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
