Journal-3

Rama is so inclined to sympathize with Sugreeva because he feels bad that his wife was taken him from him and he was turned on by his own family.  Rama I think feels similar to Sugreeva because they are going through similar problems. Rama was exiled for fourteen years and Sugreeva can't leave the mountain or his brother will kill him. Vali, Sugreeva's brother, took Sugreeva's wife and Ravanna took Ramas. Rama also sympathizes with Sugreeva because it's good karma to help him.

In Rama's and Vali's argument I think that both sides have good points but Vali overall realized that Rama was right and what he did was "justice". On page 108 Vali goes on talking about how Rama's sense of judgement is all out of whack because he has lots his wife which caused him to sympathize with Sugreeva. But then Rama, on page 109, tells Vali the story that Sugreeva told him. Vali is being told the truth about what happened between Sugreeva and him. And the argument really just goes back and forth for a while until Vali realizes that Rama was right in killing him and that he had been wrong this whole time. He dies with "pride" and blesses his brother and Rama.

The Brothers, Vali and Sugreevas, fight is a lot like wars. People find something out that could be wrong, or right, and start wars for no reason (in my opinion). Each side of the war gets alliances to help them out. Sugreeva got Rama to help him out. Then they all end in battle, like Vali's and Sugreeva's battle. Then the alliances help their alliances fight the enemy and that is what Rama does for Sugreeva.. He helps Sugreeva by killing Vali.
