Reading Notes... Part A Ramayan
Ramayan: Part A
By:Valmiki
For this week's notes, I decided to focus on the setting. The author describes it with such detail. I was able to picture the setting since it included so many descriptors. "In the palace gardens there were numerous birds and flowers, shady groves of fruit trees, and lakes gemmed with bee-loved lotuses...", this phrase is at the beginning which helps the reader be able to envision the place that they are reading about. Usually, when I have done creative writing, I always focus on the characters and the plot and not so much about describing the setting. This helps shape the story and plot itself. This is important especially to this story because it speaks of royalty and their kingdoms so describing these beautiful places adds to the tone of the story. Continuing into the other sections, they describe animals that were there and that is also important because it helps with picturing the environment or surroundings in which the story was happening.

Hi Catalina! I am glad you liked the elaborate descriptions! If you did not get a chance to read all of Part A, make sure you finish before you go on to Part B; the plot of the epic is continuous, so you need to get through all of the drama in Part A (which ends with King Dasharatha's death) so that the events in Part B will make sense.
