    The key takeaways are that the story is about Rama and Sita and their adventures, with Ravana kidnapping Sita being a major conflict. It also teaches about performing one's dharma.

    The setting is ancient India and a major conflict arises when Rama must go into exile due to his father's wife's deception. Sita and Lakshmana accompany him.

    Examples include Rama refusing the throne despite his right to it in order to follow his father's command, and Bharata ruling justly as regent in Rama's place.

    Setting:

    The story took place in India many centuries ago.


    Characters:

    Dasartha- the king of Kosala

    Vasistha- the King's priest

    Sumitra, Kaikeyi and Kausalya- the King's three wives

    Rama, Lakshamana, Bharata, Satrughna- the king's four sons

    Sita- wife of Rama

    Vishvamitra- the sage or wise man

    Ravana- the ruler of the rakshasas or demons

    Indrajit- Ravana's son

    Vishnu- the protector of the universe

    Tataka- the she-demon in a forest

    King Janaka- from Mithila, father of Sita

    Manthara- a maid servant who doesn't want Rama to be the king

    Shurpanakha- the she-demon that wants Rama as her husband;Ravana's sister

    Vibhishana- Ravana's brother that tries to save Sita

    Khar and Dushan- brothers of Shurpanakha

    Mareech- the magician

    Jatayu- the great eagle that fought Ravana

    Sugriva- helped Rama find his wife

    Hanuman- devoted follower of Sugriva


    Exposition:
    Ravana, the ten-headed king of the evil demons, continually pursues the destruction of dharma or social
    and moral order in the world. The gods persuade Vishnu to reincarnate himself as a man to defeat
    Ravana. Vishnu is now born as Rama, son of Dasartha. The epic centers on the life and adventures
    of Ramaa and Sita, the daughter of goddess Earth, his wife.
    Conflict:
    When Ravana stole Sita and brought her to his place.
    Climax:
    When Rama fought against Ravana for two days where many were injured and some died.
    Resolution:
    They won the battle and was able to take Sita back. But then there are rumors pertaining to his wife's
    infidelity so she was exiled. One day, Rama met his sons, twins, and sent a messenger to find Sita and
    convince her to return. Sita returned the next day and revealed her innocence with the accusation. And
    from that moment, he would never see her wife again and Rama's life returned to Vishnu

    Setting and conflict of Ramayana story

    1. When Rama must endure banishment because of the deception of one of his father's wives, there is a
    conflict, and it is resolved by accepting what is seen as his duty.
    2. When Sita, Rama's wife, heard Rama was to be banished, she begged to accompany him to his forest
    retreat. "As shadow to substance, so wife to husband," she reminded Rama. "Is not the wife's dharma to
    be at her husband's side? Let me walk ahead of you so that I may smooth the path for your feet," she
    pleaded. Rama agreed, and Rama, Sita and his brother Lakshmana all went to the forest.
    3. When Bharata learned what his mother had done, he sought Rama in the forest. "The eldest must rule,"
    he reminded Rama. "Please come back and claim your rightful place as king." Rama refused to go against
    his father's command, so Bharata took his brother's sandals and said, "I shall place these sandals on the
    throne as symbols of your authority. I shall rule only as regent in your place, and each day I shall put my
    offerings at the feet of my Lord. When the fourteen years of banishment are over, I shall joyously return
    the kingdom to you." Rama was very impressed with Bharata's selflessness. As Bharata left, Rama said to
    him, "I should have known that you would renounce gladly what most men work lifetimes to learn to give
    up."
    4, Ravana, the evil King of Lanka, (what is probably present-day Sri Lanka) abducted Sita. Rama
    mustered the aid of a money army, built a causeway across to Lanka, released Sita and brought her safely
    back to Aydohya. In order to set a good example, however, Rama demanded that Sita prove her purity
    before he could take her back as his wife. Rama, Sita and Bharata are all examples of persons following
    their dharma.
    This lesson focuses on how the Ramayana teaches Indians to perform their dharma. Encourage students
    to pick out examples of characters in the epic who were faithful to their dharma and those who violated
    their dharma. Mahatma Gandhi dreamed that one day modern India would become a Ram-rajya.

    Subordinating conjunctions are parts of speech that join dependent clauses to independent clauses.
    Sometimes referred to as subordinators or subordinate conjunctions, these important words and phrases
    may also introduce adverb clauses. Subordinating conjunctions are essential parts of complex sentences
    with include at least two clauses, with one of the clauses being main (independent) and the other being
    subordinate (dependent).
    There is only one rule to remember about using subordinate conjunctions:
    A subordinate conjunction performs two functions within a sentence. First, it illustrates the importance of
    the independent clause. Second, it provides a transition between two ideas in the same sentence. The
    transition always indicates a place, time, or cause and effect relationship. For example: We looked in the
    metal canister, where Ginger often hides her candy.

    Examples of Subordinating Conjunctions


    In the following examples, the subordinating conjunctions are in bold for easy identification:

    1.

    As Sherri blew out the candles atop her birthday cake, she caught her hair on fire.

    2.

    Sara begins to sneeze whenever she opens the window to get a breath of fresh air.

    3.

    When the doorbell rang, my dog Skeeter barked loudly
