I chose
Option two, Public Domain Edition: Ramayana. This was Honestly kind of hard for
me to read, but as I keep looking over it hopefully I will be able to put the
story together better, and learn new things.
1.
King Dasharatha
-When I think of the two Kingdoms I most definitely would find myself in the capital of Koshala (Ayodhya). It sounds like great places to sight see and be one with nature. Maybe because the kingdom was so pretty that it needed beauty and royalty to run it instead of boys, and just maybe this is why Dasharatha had girls instead of boys.

Dasharatha’s Sons
-I found it cool that after the ceremony Dasharatha awarded gifts and treasure to the Brahmins, I believe that shows he was a kind man. He wanted sons so bad that he would do anything to get them, and he was soon promised that he would get 4!

Avatar of Vishnu
-I found it very cool that that Vishnu would divide himself into four parts for Dasharatha could get his sons. This story keeps showing good in these people.

Vishvamitra
-Another act to show that Dasharatha has a good heart is that he cast down his son because he was terrible, but Rama redeemed himself by becoming a man.

Thataka
-I find it interesting that whatever Rama needed it would just magically appear. Maybe this shows that he is great, and that he is meant to be a hero.

Bhagiratha and Ganga
-This story being told is almost just like what he have been reading. But the main difference this time is that sixty thousands sons were killed, yet they were still there in spirit.

7.
Ahalya
-Here we go, the story is starting to get a little messy. I think that I like the version better when Ahalya realizes she is sleeping with someone else besides her husband. I also find it interesting that Rama will end her curse.

Sita
-Love the way the princes were described in this story, with pearls and yellow coats. Also interested how each row had different theme of people. I like how this is an example of love at first sight for Sita and Rama.

King Janaka
-This story has now turned into any typical fairy tale, where the man must bend a strong weapon to be able to marry the daughter.

10. Rama
Wins Sita
-Of course Rama was able to bend the bow so easily, and he of course was then given the right to marry the daughter.

11. Parashurama
-Oh but we thought it was that easy, but here comes Parashurma. He came to see who has broken the bow because he was mad. But Rama came to the rescue and made it all alright again.

12. Rama
and Sita’s Wedding
-Their wedding was beautiful and I can just imagine Sita and all her beauty in a wedding dress. Also kind of strange that all the other brothers found wives from the Janaka family as well.

13. Rama
the Heir Apparent
-Ahh the time has come for Dasharatha to pick one of his sons to become the next king, I find it funny that he no sons, and now he has four to pick from!

14. Manthara
and Kaikeyi
-I find it funny that two boons were what was granted when Kaikeyi cured Dasharatha

15. Kaikeyi
and Dasharatha
-Boons has a different meaning to it that I thought. It was interesting to see that boons is meaning as in request. Also how cruel that one boon request was to banish Rama in a devotee clad.

16. Rama
is Banished
-This story has now become a little sad as Rama was banished, yet it shows that he still has respect for his father as he fulfilled his vow.

17. Ramayana
-As Rama decides to go into exile alone, his wife Sita and his brother insist on accompanying him, how great would that feeling be that people love you so much they are willing to follow him.

18. Crossing
the River
-Putting away all of their royalty they cross over into the forest to be in exile for fourteen years. Also love that Rama has the Jata hair style that is like dreadlocks.

19. Dasharatha’s
Karma
-I enjoyed that the hermit respected him enough that he built him a funeral for it was the kingdom of death.

20. Dasharatha’s
Death
-It was sad to me that the king who all he wanted was sons weren’t even able to attended his death, but maybe that was because of his own karma.
