Reading Notes - Divine Archer, Section B

Most of section B is about Sita's capture and rescue, which I have retold as well so I don't want to retell it in a different way. I could possibly retell the section about Sita's twins and the horse sacrifice, along with Rama and his sons being reunited. I really like that they're lost and don't know who their father is and then finally it's a big reveal. That could be very fun to recreate into a modern day thing where the dad didn't know about the sons and they go on a search to find out who their father is and they have a mentor who helps them along the way, that would be Valmiki.

Growth Mindset: Cats

Using the randomizer I found a couple of cats that I really liked either because they were cute, funny, relatable, or all of the above! The first one was adorable and very accurate. I've found the more I write the better I get at it, especially when it comes to my personal statements. The second meme made me laugh. I've always been a goal setter and while it can be sad to miss your goal it's good to even get close to reaching it because there is always next time! Cat Meme 1 Cat Meme 2

Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana, Section C

This section picks up where B left off, Sita being captured by Ravana. I like that he came to her disguised as a hermit, it reminded me of when the evil queen came to snow white to get her to eat the poisoned apple. I think it would be really fun to make this into a sort of fairytale story, since Ravana can transfigure himself into different creatures. I could have him transform into a dragon and have Rama slay the "dragon" in order to get Sita back. Surgiva could be his trusted ally after finding Sita's jewelry. It could turn into an epic adventure where they cross an ocean, among other things in order to finally get to Sita. I really like this idea of a fairytale retelling of Rama saving Sita.
