After reading the story on Vali’s Death, I was a little bit
taken aback by Rama’s actions. While I don’t doubt that he would have stepped
in when his help was needed, I found it slightly out of character for him to
kill Vali in a subtle and cowardly way. I also don’t really feel like this was
Rama’s fight to fight and could potentially write about if Rama had left the fighting to the brother’s and Vali was victorious.
I enjoyed reading the story about Hanuman’s past and how he
was able to defeat the rakshasi and cross over to the shore of Lanka. I think
there is a lot of room for creativity for how the interaction between Hanuman
and the rakshasi could have occurred. I think that would be something I could
write about. Maybe having them strike a deal together and the rakshasi take
Hanuman to Lanka or to have tricked him.
