Rama and the Forest

I thought this story was really interesting, and almost like
a new chapter for Rama. I feel like their were a lot of elements in this
particular story that I would want to include in my own story like nature,
animals, and materialistic things like jewelry like in the original. I think
all these elements will create a lesson to be learned in my own story with Rama
still being the main character.
One of my friends came to visit one day, and asked me three
questions. One question was “What is your favorite color?” The next question
was “What is your favorite animal and why?” The last question was “What do you
think about nature, and how does it make you feel?” Little did I know, all
these questions had different meanings? For example, I said my favorite color
was red because it has multiple meanings like passion and anger and love. My
favorite animal is a polar bear because they’re big, caring, and warm. My last answer
was nature is calming and pretty. The meaning behind the first answer is how
you describe yourself to be. The meaning behind the second answer was what you
want to see in your significant other. Last but not the least, the meaning
behind the last question was how you feel about god.
These questions really got me thinking about nature in
particular, and how I want to be more adventurous, and be in touch with what
god created. I feel like these three questions can be included somewhere in my
story to add a twist of my own. I think it’ll be very fun to see how Rama
develops in my own story, and what his favorite color, favorite animal, and his
opinion about nature turn out to be. This is the perfect story to add these
elements, and make it my own.
