Since this week is free reading, I decided to revisit my favorite stories. The Ramayana contained my favorites, so I am reading a modern retelling this week. I look forward to creating more cool stories from the Ramayana as I take more notes. Since I have read the Ramayana before, I will focus my notes more on the writing style and things that I want to write about.
- My initial impression of this retelling was how easy it was to read
- The modern language makes it so much more relatable and easier to follow
- I also noticed the amount of detail that went into describing the mood of the scene
- Descriptive details were used constantly to paint a picture of how individual characters were feeling
- I also noticed the amount of meaningful dialogue that was used
- It really helped create a more realistic situation
- This is something that I definitely want to emulate with my writing
- I really enjoyed reading over the creation of Rama
- It was awesome to see the dialogue of Vishnu as he insists that he must be born as a human to defeat the demon Ravana.
- This is something that I do not remember from the previous versions
- I would like to create a more dialogue/detailed story in the future
- This kind of writing style was present throughout this retelling
- The events that take place are mostly the same
- However, the writing style is what stuck out to me
