Week 11 Storyplanning: Rama's sleepwalking

The story I am planning to write for Week 12 is Rama's sleepwalking problem. This week I read another story about Rama and Sita. I feel Rama and Sita are always good characters to write about because they can represent the normal wife and husband that we think of today, especially with the problems they face. Like they have in many of the stories we have read about them, they will find a way to overcome this obstacle. Sita will have to convince Rama that he does sleep walk. She will find out that Rama does crazy things in his sleep, and even becomes violent.

The style I am planning to write is going to be more vivid than what I am accustomed to writing. I may somehow give this story a bit of a dark twist. I'm hoping to be able to make a very crazy story out of the sleepwalking. I believe I can convey Rama's sleepwalking in a way that produces some very weird and crazy things.

There will be three characters in this story: Rama, Sita, and their dog Ravanese...

Rama: He will be in denial for a while and Sita is going to have to convince him that he actually sleepwalks. Once he finds out that he does actually sleepwalk, he will be terrified of himself.

Sita: The wife of Rama, first discovers Rama sleepwalking and doesn't think anything of it. Over time, crazy things begin to happen and she is scared of Rama.

Ravanese: Rama and Sita's dog. He may or may not become a victim to Rama's sleepwalking.

Week 11 Reading Notes: Indian Gods and Heroes: Rama and Sita, Part A

I initially chose this story to read because of the title. Rama and Sita have interested me greatly ever since reading the Ramayana.

Also, I had forgotten that I had written a story some weeks ago that involved Rama and Sita.It would be cool to see any similarities, if any, between Rama and Sita in this story and in mine,

iI'm noticing that I'm not remembering any of these names from the Ramayana beside Ravana, lord of the Rakshakas

I would much rather read the public domain Ramayana than this,  as the reading is a bit slow and more complex.

I would probably never do writing like this, as it reads like what I would consider the Bible.

I'm a big fan of how Rama was portrayed in this part of the reading. He was a very wise person in the story, much liek he was in the Ramayana.

One idea I could use for my next story is to include more descriptive language, but not so much that it becauses draggy and too complex.
