Part B of this reading, to me at least, was a lot more entertaining than the first part. The reason that I say this is because we get to see Rama go on a question to find his love. Along the way he encounters a multitude of different types of characters who help him in achieving his goal. Also, there a part in the story where battling is taking place and I am a huge battle person so that is the most fascinating part of any story. What is also great about this story is that it shows the trials and tribulations that Rama faces in his later life. I don’t know what it is but I just generally. Love learned about myths that involve a main character in the latter part of his life. I feel like so much time is spent on his youth and young adult hood we never really get to experience the things he goes through as an adult. Beside that fact what is great about these stories in Part B is that it introduces us to other characters that are just as important to Indian folklore. This way it gives us a brief tease of what we can expect to read about when we come to these characters.
Unfortunately, with the battle phases they didn’t seem to cover much ground. I always find it weird that people never want to elaborate inn books about the brutality of war. Everyone knows how brutal it is because we see it on tv every day, so why not in books beside military ones. I feel like being more descriptive about everything that Rama and Sita are going through would have been more helpful because it would have allowed us to get a more visceral reaction if we had known what was going on with them. Even though there are some negatives with this section of the story I still feel like it outdid the first part I read, and I enjoyed it a lot.
