Ravana's Death
I had mixed feelings about this story, but it did give me the most
takeaways that I feel I can apply to my writing. The first thing that I like is
the idea of rhyming to tell events which is used at the end of this section. I
think since I am trying to tell a more modern set of stories for my project
that I intend a younger audience to read, that a rhyming story could be a good
way to end my project. I think that this is a great technique I could use
because rhyming tends to use a simpler vocabulary which is great for the
audience I am writing for. I also think that the rhyming allows for the story
to go by quicker in the sense that the plot is more direct rather than
described. Yet with the rhyming the descriptions are simple, the main ones that
are intended to be the focus get more elevation as I would like to say.
Another thing that I liked about this story was the use of senses
the author got involved. As a writer I think that one of the best way to
involve a reader with what is taking place is describing things by using
aspects of our senses. For example this story gets the reader thinking about
vision, smell, hearing, and touch involved. As I read the story I was imagining
things the way I have used my own senses, so I think that this would be a great
way for adding beauty if you will to a story.
In thinking about what I could use for this story, I like the idea
of a funeral of an animal for my project. Although they are normally grim, I
like the idea of having an animal have a beautiful funeral due to the respect
of the other animals around him. I’m not sure how I would make this modern or
simple though which is an issue for me.
