Reading Notes: Stories of Indian Gods and Heroes: Rama and Sita Part B

This week I chose to do the one-week reading over the Ramayana, specifically about Rama and Sita. I will be reading the part B section today and writing some notes over that.

During his banishment, Rama made the most of it exploring with his wife Sita
One day Lakshman spotted Bharat with his army coming to save Rama and tell him his exile was over
Lakshman was filled with anger
Rama wanted to abide by his promise to stay in exile and felt no reason to return
Rama was told that he should return and be the king
he was told about the death of his father and he had never felt so much sadness in his life
it was a though all the trees were cut off by axes.
he still did not want to return
they decided to hold a funeral for the spirit of his father in the forest
Rama continued to keep his promise even when speaking in private with his brother that he would not return and take the throne
A brahman came down to tell Rama that words said by the dead are no longer bounded once they pass
Rama still did not give in
10 years had passed and everything was going smoothly for Rama and Sita
Ravana was overwhelmed with all of his failures
he grabbed his sword and ran to the Ashoka grove
he screamed on and on about how Sita did all of these malicious things
He promised to kill her himself
Sita sat calmly and prepared for her death
She regretted not letting Hanuman take her away
she blamed herself
an honorable rakshasa named Suparshva restrained Ravana
He was told that Sita is not his enemy and his enemy is on the battlefield
So finally Ravana went to go challenge Rama himself

Introduction to the not so Fabulous Life of Luda

Hi first off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Luda....just like the rapper Ludacris. I am a biology pre-med major and I think the coolest thing about my major would have to be that hopefully one day I can not only potentially save lives, but at least make an impact in someone's life. Last semester the best class that I took would have to be biology 2 (yes ironic), but I really do enjoy learning about all different types of biology and learning about how the body functions from something as small as the firing of a neuron and I'm excited to dive deeper into those things this semester. Although I do love biology.... organic chemistry has got to be my biggest enemy. I have never experienced a harder class in my life and I truly cannot wait to be done with that! I would have to say for accomplishments my biggest one last semester was staying healthy and avoiding getting the Coronavirus all while living in my sorority house haha. Now aside from school, some hobbies that...

Story Lab: Advice to Writers

I used this same lab a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoyed the mini advice that was given. Therefore I decided to do this lab once again to look into more advice to not only help other writers but advance my writing skills as well. All Good Books Are Alike This title really took me by surprise and that is why I chose to write about this one. I feel like most people strive to write things no one has ever written in order to stay relevant or unique, but sometimes that is not the best approach. In this small excerpt, it's not necessary to make all stories identical but to make the reader feel exactly what you are feeling. If you can mimic those exact feelings then you are a good writer. The Picture Dictates the Arrangement I liked this one because I find this to be quite accurate. If you are writing a piece and you cannot illustrate and clear and vivid image, then you have failed to make a good arrangement and everything will be spotty and in bits and pieces. In doing this you ...
