Story Planning: The Patil Sisters

• Harry Potter Themed 
• 4 Hogwarts Houses are named after the Rama and his brothers
• Lord Voldemort is now Lord Ravana 
• The Pandava Brothers (who are now ghosts) will help Harry, Ron and Hermione defeat Lord Ravana 
• They will also be assisted by the Patil Sister
• New Story 1
• For my story planning I really want to outline the different ways I can introduce the Patil Sisters into my storybook. I only have time to add two more stories to my storybook so I need to make sure I am quick to introduce the characters
• Idea Number 1
• If you've read my storybook then you know that my POV has been from McGonagall's perspective, one idea I have for my new story is just to start from the perspectives of the Patil Twins 
• This would be an easy way to introduce their characters more into the story. I am worried that by adding their POV into the story suddenly like that, that my readers might get confused. 
• Idea Number 2
• Is continue like normal with McGonagall's POV and then have it switch mid-story. Either way, I think in order to have the twins become the focal point we will need to switch over to their point of view
• New Story 2
• This week I also want to plan my last Storybook story. 
• In my last story I will need a resolution to the conflict between my main characters and my villain, Lord Ravana. 
• For this, one of my ideas is to have the ghosts of the castle (If you are unfamiliar with the Harry Potter series, the ghosts I'm referring to live in the Hogwarts castle, where the students go to school) aid the students in defeating Lord Ravana
• I have already set the scene with this in my earlier stories. I have introduced the Pandava brothers who could help fight Lord Ravana. 
• Within in this I would bring in the divine "magical" gifts that each of the brothers had. This would add an element of surprise to my existing story.

Reading Notes: Part A, Epic of the Bharatas

• The sons of Pandu (Pandavas) and the sons of Pandu's brother Dhritarashtra (Kauravas)
• Arjuna is a great archer, I think his ghost should have a big role in the defeat of my Lord Ravana character in my storybook. 
• Its cool that they ride elephants (tuskers) into the contest, this is definitely something I want to incorporate into my story
• Karna: is the oldest son of Kunti (she had him with the sun god) and is a brother to the pandava brothers 
• Surya the sun-god favors Karna (his son), while Indra the rain-god favors Arjuna (his son).
• Karna and Arjuna want to kill each other because they are jealous 
• This story, especially the scenes between Karna and the Pandavas puts an emphasis on birthright
• Even though the pandavas and Karna share the same mother (neither know it) There is a big deal placed on the fact that Karna's adoptive father is a chariot driver
• Duryodhana, son of Dhritarashtra (blind king), grants Karna a title just with the hopes that he can defeat the Pandavas. 
• I want to bring this emphasis of birthright into my story, especially with the original emphasis placed on muggle vs. pure blood in Harry Potter
• I have to admit that this story does not paint the Pandavas in the best light, or Draupadi who laughs at Karna for being the son of a chariot driver
