Reading Notes: Sita Sings the Blues: Part A

I like how modern it is. They explain it in a very easy to understand manner and the language is how they would talk today which makes everyone interested in it. This version doesn’t talk about Lakshmana. So they light up Hanuman’s tail in an effort to humiliate him instead he burns down lanka. It seemed like it was a lot easier to kill Ravana. They gave it a modern twist, which I like and I think I might do that too since it makes it a lot easier for people to get an interest in it. They also had outsiders in the story that go through the confusion that a lot of people have. They skimmed through a lot of the details that were in the other version of the Ramayana.
