Mother Earth

Mother Earth was very tired of Rama not believing that Sita
was still pure. She did not like her
son-in-law not trusting her precious daughter.
She believed that he did not deserve Sita. She hoped that one day her daughter would
realize she could do better. Mother
Earth Knew the truth. She was so upset
that the entire earth was flooded. When
she was unhappy, the rest of the world suffered as well. Everyone’s crops were flooded and houses were
damaged. People all around the world
knew something must be very very wrong.
Mother Earth prayed and prayed to be given the opportunity to take her
daughter away. She knew she could make
her daughter happy without Rama in her life.
Mother Earth fell asleep and dreamed of having her daughter back in her
arms. She was hoping that one day soon,
her daughter would come to her senses. When Sita came to her one afternoon, she
was absolutely thrilled. She had no idea
that the very next day would be the day.
Mother Earth was so happy that the Sun was out and it was the perfect
temperature of 75 degrees all around the world.
All of the people around the world rejoiced! They could now return to work and go on with
their lives. Sita asked her mother to
take her if she had been faithful to Rama.
Sita had sworn back and forth that she was innocent but still needed to
prove herself. Mother Earth emerged from
the ground and Sita was in awe from her beauty.
She was patient, fair, and darling.
She had all of the perfect characteristics. Mother Earth takes Sita and brings her
underground with her. After this, the
whole world froze. Everything was
completely peaceful. Everything in the
world felt whole and equal. Harmony was
restored. There was no more war,
stealing, or murder. Everyone on earth was
happy except for one person and that is Rama.
Rama knew this was bad. He knew he should have trusted his wife, but now
it is a little too late. He would now be
punished by being alone for the rest of this time on earth. He would now be lonely and have a very dull
life. He continued to rule and ruled for
a thousand more years. A thousand more
lonely years. He knew he would never see
his wife on land again.
Author's Note:
I chose this story because it was my favorite out of the reading this week. I put my own twist to it by adding emotions and details. I wanted to portray the thoughts of Mother Earth and how her emotions affects the entire world.

Hi Britney! It was great how creative your storytelling is! I really liked that you brought out the character of mother earth, which we only see for a short time in the reading but she totally changes the story and makes it bittersweet. The details you added were so vivid and great! I liked how her emotions affected the weather. Was the flood an allusion to the biblical one? Just curious. One suggestion-- be sure to keep verb tense consistent. I always have trouble with it, so I picked up on it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat story, Britney! I really like how you used Mother Earth to tell your story. I feel like it brought about a unique aspect that provided an omniscient tone to the story. This was great because it showed how powerful Mother Earth was and how she did not like what Rama was doing to Sita. I think you used great descriptive language in your story that really brought it to life. Keep up the good work throughout the semester!
ReplyDeleteHey, Britney! I really really like this post. My storybook is basically about how terrible it was that Rama did not believe Sita so I’m glad you picked up on that as well. I like how you showed how mother earth could impact so much and how you included that mother earth was Sita’s true mom. Great job- keep up the good work!
