One thought on “KRSNA

  1. Rema Lagoo,

    Your recreation of Krishna’s tales are very amusing and appealing to this generation, which is something that I noticed in the first couple pages of the book. There are several things that I really liked about your book such as the tone of the narrator Krishna, he seems very friendly and feels like he is next to you talking about his adventurous life story. I also enjoyed the way you implemented 21st century ideals and connected it to the way kids live today. It shows how privileged we are in life and how we can learn and grow if we learn to appreciate what we have in life. One of my favorite parts about your story is the message that you show when you wrote about Krishna’s story. When Krishna and his friends are venturing into the “cave”, it shows the values of friendship and trusting one another, when Krishna is able to defeat the demon and save his friends, it teaches you about being cautious and thinking about what you are going to do and asses the situation. I can appreciate this because in the modern day a lot of people are doing very dumb things like smoking or drinking and this puts them into very dangerous situations where they are not able to think about what they are about to do. Another message that I thought you really focused on is treating people with respect and kindness, one place that was written well, was when Krishna was left alone and looking at this lady trying to sell fruits, its shows Krishna’s innocence and deep down you can’t tell whether someone is poor or not the only thing you can is there character. The lady is very polite and does her best to barter with a crazy child. In the end her respect towards someone she didn’t know served her better as she was rewarded with jewels. This story also impacted me because in today’s world there is a lot of discrimination on skin color or religion, but people have to realize that were are all still people and common in that way, which is something that I think that you addressed very well in your story. Although I liked to read your book, there were a couple things that I thought were confusing or irrelevant to the story altogether. There were also a few minor things that I noticed that can be fixed very easily. For example there were a couple of technical issues that I saw multiple times, including grammar mistakes, I don’t know if that’s how they write in India, but some parts didn’t flow properly for me. One of the biggest flaws I found in your book, is your last section, where you are talking about the 2 siblings trying to gain each others land. This section felt very out of place and really had nothing to do with Krishna or how he progressed as a boy to an adult or god. This section to me felt like it was more like a filler to reach a certain number of pages. Although the content was there and was written just as well as the other sections, I found it that the better place to end the book was when Krishna killed Kamsa in the wrestling match. This seems like a more suitable ending because the whole story was based around Krishna being hidden from Kamsa because he was to be his slayer. I feel like you wanted the book to be mainly about Krishna’s coming of age, his adventures and how he developed into this beloved god that we think about today. Another weaker part about the story is also in that same place where you are talking about the rivalry between the Pandavas and the Kandus. This place was very confusing in the way it was written, if this book was intended to be read by young children to adolescents, then I believe that this section would be very hard to understand solely because of they way the characters were introduced, within a page you introduce all the characters and even after reading the pages 3 or 4 times I couldn’t understand whose brother was who and who the pandavas are. In conclusion I believe that your recreation of the Krishna story was very well done although there can be things that can be fixed and also re edited.
