Reading Notes: Ramayana Part B

Rama and Bharata
This story was interesting because everyone just seemed so stubborn! It was also nice that the two brothers were once again reunited.  I can see myself taking a more satirical spin on this story.  Both brothers are fighting about who gets to live in the jungle for 14 years!

Anasuya
I really liked this.  I liked the how it rhymed and how it was set up.  It was a very sweet story that I can respect.  Sita told of sorrow and happiness.  I loved how much Anasuya appreciated this story and I loved all the small details.

Viradha
This was definitely a different kind of story.  I thought it was very neat.  There for a while, I was scared that Rama might not be able to defeat the beast! But I enjoyed how the story somewhat ended nicely for everybody involved.  That does not usually happen in battles!
