Week 2 Reading Diary: Narayan's Ramayana

When I read a story, I am also very interested in how it starts off and it does a great job explaining what this story is going to be about and introducing new details to make the reader (me) interested enough to continue to read. I like how it goes into explain what Diwali is because it is the most important indian festival. This story is great because it introduces so many characters and the details about each one which makes it easy to know who everyone is. I like how their is basically a story within a story. Rama's story is very interesting and has great twist and turns in it. My favorite character is Rama and how he fights for his loved one even though later he has his doubts and lets her go but is so heartbroken he decides to join Sita is heaven. Throughout the years it seems like the Rama's story has different versions mostly because people have their own twists on the story and what they thought should of happened. As the story goes on one of my favorite parts is how the Ramayana has lessons in the presentation of motives, actions and reactions, applicable for all time and for all conditions of life. The Thataka's story is also great because it kept me involved with the storyline, which is important to get the full effect. The best story in my opinion was the last one, Ganga's story, it was a different type of story then any other story I have read. All of the stories were unique but Ganga's story was great because of the theme involved.
