Ravana is a very strong character. He feels invincible and
that no one could destroy him. I like how Hanuman played a mini trick on him
and let himself be captured. I could continue with the basketball story, and add
Ravana as one of the players that opposed to Rama. He could have the lead score
and his team could be winning. This can entitle the part where Ravana has Sita guarded
by his demons. Hanuman can come into the game being Rama’s guard. When he tries
to shoot, Hanuman can go and defend against Ravana. Rama can score a three
pointer, and Ravana’s couch (his brother Vibhishana ) can tell him to be
careful, not get too caught up with Rama, and watch for other players as well. The
game can start to get out of hand, and Ravana can cause random fouls to occur,
giving the other team free throw points. This can then anger his couch (
Vibishana) and cause him to take Ravana off the court. Since Ravana is a
stubburn character he will not listen. As from the story, Vibishana goes to
Rama and trys to settle the battle on his own. Since in the end, he ends up
helping Rama, and goes against his own brother, the couch therefor ends up
giving advice to Rama on how to score on Ravana.
I could change the story to a man battling in a fight to the
death battle with a demon animal. This is where Rama weakens Ravana out, but
will not kill him till Ravana is conscious again.
I found it very interesting that though Rama was in desperation
to find Sita, he found the need to test her before accepting her back as being
his wife. Although I created story lines for my reading prior to this part of
the story, I really want to write a story about Sita, and how she proved to be pure.
