Reading Notes: Ramayana Part D

The Bridge
In this story Nala, an artisan, constructed a bridge for Rama to cross over into Lanka.  This is obviously a really significant moment because without the bridge, Rama might not have been able to cross over.  I think I could recreate this in a different way, incorporating a new way in which the bridge came about.

Kumbhakarna 
In a way, I thought this story was kind of funny.  All Kumbhakarna wants to do is eat and sleep. I can definitely relate.  I think it would be fun to do a modern-day spin off this episode.  It seems like it could be a fun time!

Sita and Rama
I was very surprised by this episode.  I think anyone would guess that Rama and Sita's first meeting after such a long battle would be nothing short of amazing.  But, that is not exactly what happened.  I must say that I am not really pleased with how the meeting went.  I would have been so happy to finally see my significant other after such a challenging period of time.
