Week 4 Reading Diary B:

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts from pages 58-104 of the Ramayana retold by William Buck.  


  • The story of Rama's exile is pretty much the same.  Except Kooni changed to Manthara???
  • Oh I hate when the townspeople raise a river and it blocks my path.  Happens all the time.  The only other time I can think of this happening is when the water created a path instead of blocking one.  (Moses)
  • So Kaikeyi didn't use one of her wishes on learning the language of animals?  What a waste.  
  • It's crazy how diction and description can completely retell these stories.  
  • This section was fairly similar to the other version of Rama that we read.  
  • It's weird reading "Perfect Rama" over again, he really loses himself towards the end of his life.  
  • The priests they meet while in exile do not have much barring on the rest of the epic…
