Reading Notes Sita Sings the Blues, Part A

Part A:
SitaSingstheBlues
I loved how this story is just like the story but it takes a modern twist and shows some humor. It also has a couple in the modern word alongside with this story It is just like Ramayan, but they argue some of the points of the myths and legends.  Rama is banished and Sita goes with him into the forest. His brother isn't mentioned in this story that he went with them. Sita fights all the battles and then Ravana wants Sita because of the ugly sister. He gets her and then Sita sends monkeys to find her. He finds her and kills Havana and almost rejects her but ends up taking her back in part A. I love how they included a couple from New York city that told a tale close to it to show a meaning.

It was a cool experience to see how these officers are being trained to do the best and think on their feet effectively.  Alongside with that, I took my capstone with her also and got to volunteer with the Youth and Family Center. This was my biggest accomplishment because I got to work with these kids and just have fun with them. It challenged me both spiritually and mentally, it made me look at the world a little differently. After the semester, the break began and my b

Susan: Welcome everyone I am Susan and thank you for taking my tour bus to the Great Burning of the Lac Palace. We will see many things along the way but our first stop is here.  Hey guys where is everyone from? Guy 1: I am from Canada Girl 1: I am from Mexico  Guy 2: I am from America Everyone was shouting out where they were from. There were over 30 people enjoying the tour bus today.  Susan: The Lac Palace is home of the Prince Duryodhana who was cousins of the Pandavas. They thought that Queen Kunti and the Pandavas had died in the fire because of the dead bodies out side of the Palace but they did not! They ran off into the woods to keep safe from the evil prince. Many people believed that Prince Duryodhana was so jealous that he wanted to burn his own family alive so that his people would love him more.  Guy 1: So how did the Pandavas and the Queen Kunit escape? Susan: They escaped because Prince Vidura knew that he was planning an evil plot to kill them. Vidura planne
