Reading Notes: The Divine Archer, Part B


In the second part of The Divine Archer, it concludes the epic love story between Rama and Sita. They have been through so much together. She has twin boys with Rama, but he does not know of them. Once the boys are all grown they go to him to recite stories and they learn of their connection to one another. Rama gets excited as he learns the feelings that Sita still has for him. He feels the same way. This part of the story reminds me of a lot of love stories that we see today. Two people fall in love but then become distant to eventually learn they want to still be together. I could take this idea that is in The Divine Archer and turn it a little more modern. Have the reason for the split up be different than in the actual story. This will create a twist but will resolve in the end. Rama and Sita long for each other and know that they need to be together.

Or, what if this idea of them destined to be together does not actually work out? I could write a story about how they feel a strong connection to a person, but they do not know who this person is. Rama and Sita both believe that it is one another, but this idea is squashed when they meet up with one another. But by them meeting up, they meet the people that they actually are suppose to end up with. This idea kind of follows some plots of television shows or novels that are written today. An example is the movie Enchanted. I could follow the same premise and have a similar outcome.

I also admire the figurative language that is in the second part. I noticed a specific line and it was “So people came as flies to the honey” (72). I can visualize exactly what the author is going for. I hope that in this upcoming writing I am able to add language that will make the reader be able to see the words rather than just read them.
