I really enjoyed reading through the stories from section B of Ramayana. The stories where filled with adventure and many different interesting settings. In the story Rama and Bharata I liked how they met up in a jungle. I would want to incorporate this same setting into my own story only instead of a meeting place; the jungle will be an enchanted place full of magic and unexplainable events. Further, I really like how this original story had a lot of dialogue between the characters. I think when stories allow the character to talk and interact the reader can get a better handle on each characters personality as well as really become engulfed by the story. I plan to have a decent amount of dialogue between my characters as well as showing my readers the thoughts of the characters. I liked how the theme of good and evil or right and wrong was used in the Rama and Bharata story. I would want to continue this theme in my own story but present it in a different way. Perhaps, I could have my main character be a very evil man but according to his own beliefs he always does the right thing and then contrast him with a good hearted man who seems to always fall short and society see’s his actions of being wrong. Then at the end of the story the reader will have to decide what truly matters when it comes to good vs. evil.
