-One of Rama's brother, Bharata, is gone during Rama's exile at his grandfathers in Ayodhya. People go to Ayodhya to get the return of Bharata without letting him know the reason. Kaikeyi, Bharata's mom, wants to make him king but then rules as regent in Nandigram and refuses to go to Ayodhya again without Rama's return.

-Rama meets a women named Kamavalli in the forest, but her real name is Shurpanaka, the sister of Ravana. She tells Rama she is in love with him and wants to marry him. Lakshmana captures her and cuts off her nose, ears, and breasts. 

-Most of the gods have been made into servants in Ravana's court, which is in Lanka. Vayu, the god of wind is in charge of sweeping. Agni, god of fire, has to light the lamps. Ravana falls madly in love with Sita based on a description from Shurpanka.

-Rama had already killed Maricha's mother, Thataka. Maricha is leading meditation and doesn't want to participate in Ravana's plot of all of these servants.

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance.

Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make.

My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M
