Hey Ms Johnston...I had to make a whole new blog and I am not sure if you ever got my old blog so I am going to put my Ramayana question on here as well

1) Compare the battle between Rama and Ravana with a struggle between good and evil in modern culture.

The battle between Rama and Ravana was a classic case of good versus evil. Ravana clearly represented the evil in this particular battle. Ravana's battle was very difficult for him. Ravana thought he was very powerful and could easily defeat Rama but found it suprising when the battle became difficult. Due to the rage and evil in Ravana he was not able to prevail over Rama. Rama, however, was a different case. Rama , the good in the battle, used the gods, wisdom, and strategies to win the battle. The good in Rama was attributed by help from the gods. From the very beginning of the story the gods saw the unfairness that Rama had in the battle so they equipped him with all that he would need. During the battle while Ravana fought with rage, Rama kept his cool and fought with strategies and the good in him. The good in Rama was also shown in the end after he defeated Ravana when he gave honor to Ravana and felt remorse for his family.
