Sugriva's Story: The brothers, Sugriva and Vali, basically became enemies over a huge misunderstanding. Sugriva thought that Vali was dead and that was the reason that he went back to rule over Vali's followers. This angered Vali and he thought that his brother did it on purpose and so he stole his wife. I don't necessarily blame Vali. It doesn't look good that his brother closed up he hole and left him there and took over ruling his followers. It does sound quite suspicious. It is sad though that Vali took his revenge by stealing Sugriva's wife but I can understand why he would want to take revenge on his brother whom he thought betrayed him.
King Sugriva: This is the story right after Rama defeats Vali. What makes this story so interesting is that even though Vali and Sugriva fought, Sugriva still mourned for his dead brother. Even after his brother stole his wife, he still was upset at his death. This shows that even though the two shared quite a big hatred for each other, when it came down to Vali dying, Sugriva still felt sad over the death of his brother.
Sita and Ravana: Hanuman watches as Ravana threatens Sita. He knows its her by her fair and appearance and he watches her. In this story, I love how Sita refused Ravana no matter what he threatens her with. You can tell that she is still confident that Rama will save her and kill Ravana. The wives of Ravana also threaten her and although she is terrified, she does not give in. I think that Sita shows so much courage in this story. Even though she is scared, she is still able to stand her ground.
