Reading Notes: The Divine Archer, Part B

Notes: 

VII Bali and Sugriva Battle
Rama shoots Bali with an arrow while he is fighting his brother Sugriva.

The search for Siva begins after the rains.
Hanuman found out Siva was in Lanka over the sea so he must pass it.

I could write a story about Hanuman and his army getting caught in a cave that turned out to be a snakes mouth then how they got out of it.

Maybe do a play on Sita being in a garden and Hanuman eating a piece of fruit which got him caught.
Kind of reminds me of the Garden of Eden.

Hanuman lights Lanka on Fire
takes a token of Sita's back to Rama and they gather an army immediately.

Hanuman catches spies in camp sent from Lanka. --> I could write a story about the spies and their journey

Bridge Construction
I could write a story about Nala and Nila's construction of the bridge over the sea.

I could also write about the incident where Rama sent an arrow and knocked the crown off Ravan's head and the gold ring out of his wife's ear. I can write a story about the argument they had on whether to yield to Rama or no. 

The Battle Begins
I could write a story about how Lanka, son of Ravan, killed Lakshman in battle but was then brought back to life.
              -Elaborate on the fight though.
Rama kills Ravans brother, Kumbha- Kama.

Rama kills Ravan in battle.

Sita proves herself
sita escapes the flames because she has been true to Rama.

I could write a story about Rama, Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman journeying back to their home, Ayodhya.

After the Battle
I could write a story about Lava and Kusa, the sons of Sita and about their bringing up.
With the old hermit Valmiki telling the story.
