Lord Rama
Of all the books I have read the Ramayana influenced me most. This is my favourite book. I love it most.

The book has many charms of its own. It is more interesting than any other book. It is more philosophic than any other book on philosophy. It is a complete moral code. Hence, it has influenced me most.

It contains the life story of Rama who is thought to be an incarnation of God. Hence it is a religious book which helps us to make us good and pious.

The book is full of ideals. It presents every situation of life. From the examples given in the book, we learn how we should behave with our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, enemies, teachers, learned per�sons, strangers, husbands, wives, sons and even the low caste people.

It teaches us to be brave and cheerful in all circumstances. Thus we may call it the best book for character-building in the world.

Rama was the son of King Dashrath of Ayodhya. He was a won�derful man. He was preached by his Guru Vashistha.

Then Vishvamitraji sought his assistance to finish demons in the jungle and near his Ashram. Shri Ram was married to �Janaki� known as Sita� the princess of Mithila. To obey the orders of his father, he went into exile for 14 years.

His wife sita and brother Lakshmana went with him. Ravana the King of Lanka was stole away Sita. Lord Rama invaded Lanka and defeated Ravana.

It was a defeat of wrong by the right. It was a Dharam Yudh, which LordRama won. He got his wife back.

Rama protected Rishis and killed demons. Sita as an ideal wife was the follower of Rama in all his joys and sorrows. Rama�s father Dashratha, died of grief without Rama but kept his word.

Rama obeyed his father�s wish and his brother, Lakshmana went with him to serve him with heart and soul. Bharat too did not accept crown but ruled over Ayodhya as Rama�s steward. �

Rama loved the people of Ayodhya and the people respected him. He treated the low caste boatman as his own brother. In the forest of

    Books are precious pieces that improve one’s knowledge and help define one’s personality by relating themselves to characters within the text. As Vladimir Nabokov said in Good Readers and Good Writers “The reader should identify himself or herself with the hero or heroine.”(Nabokov, 973) I always believed that by reading a book you become one with yourself by somehow feeling all the problems of the characters and become completely absorbed in their world, therefore feeling like you have a purpose as you read.…

    One of the most prominent being the fact that this is a very philosophical book. Before each chapter are excerpts from ‘journals’ that make you think. They also correlate very closely with the content featured on each chapter. Another reason I enjoyed this read was because of the vivid descriptions. At one point the book describes a scene that was part of the first book, but then shows with excellent word choices the ways that the scene has changed over thousands of years. A third reason is how relatable the characters are. Throughout the book many events occur, and the book allows you to easily tell what each character’s reaction is. Also, the characters are not too perfect, or in other words their reactions are something we may experience ourselves.…

    Rama In Sundiata

    Rama behaves honorably in fulfilling his familial duties. Although Rama undergoes the ignominy of being exiled, he willingly accepts the circumstances and does not attempt to orchestrate events in his favor. King Dasaratha is forced by Kaikeyi to send Rama into exile and even though Rama’s family members and advisors try to convince him to stay, he refuses to do so. When his father attempts to break the promise he made to Kaikeyi and begs Rama to stay, the latter still chooses to go out of respect for his father’s initial words. In one case, Rama says to his mother that his father is “renowned for the steadfastness of his words” and he is “blessed...to carry out his father’s command, and to live in the forests” (Narayan, 46). By choosing to…

    Experiencing and comprehending what each book tells me leaves somewhat of a mark on who I am. Through every word I gain some knowledge or concept that will help further my academic or social sides. Reading a nonfiction book, usually a biography or historical reveals to me what it takes to become a great person, what I need to prepare for in the future, learning to avoid the same mistakes that countless others have already made, and just gives me more knowledge on the topic. These lessons were also learned from the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. Diving into the history of the Holocaust uncovered some questions that I had and in turn made me more interested in the event altogether. I already had delved into the Holocaust by watching movies and reading some books on it, but by reading a real experience of it, it made me put myself in his position and it seemed like I was seeing it through his eyes.…

    One of the things that I gave the most importance to were the messages that talked about relationships with other people. And the book made me see that we as human beings all act very similarly but we have that unconscious part that tells us we could be acting in some other way. This made me came up with my own phrase that would make me remember the whole book “treat every other how you want them to treat you and do what’s unusual to you” only remembering this phrase it’s going to make a difference in the rest of my life…

    Soorpanaka, the temptress in Ramayana had fallen in love with Rama. Referring to Soorpanaka, "In the course of her wanderings, she saw Rama and fell in love and decided to seduce him by every art in her power"(Ramayana 70). This quote suggests that this demon-like character is a temptress. After Soorpanaka frightened Sita, Rama felt that her visit was over, "Do nothing that will bring on retribution and suffering. Please be gone before my brother Lakshama notices you. He will be angry."(Ramayana 71) Indeed, when Lakshama noticed her stalking Sita, he punished her by chopping off her nose, ears and breasts with his sword. However, Sita is the opposite. When Rama was put into exile, Sita refused to not be by his side and came with him. Even after being kidnapped by Ravana, she did not lie with him because she was faithful and honest to Rama. However, Rama could not believe that she had been faithful, so Sita jumped into a fire and "From the heart of the flame rose the god of fire, bearing Sita, and presented her to Rama with words of blessing. Rama, now satisfied that he had established his wife's integrity..." (Ramayana 162) Unlike Soorpanaka, Sita was not deceitful and evil. In the end, the ideal wife had Rama, while the temptress ended up with a loss of limbs.…
