Week 5: Reading Diary B - Hanuman

In this part of the book it starts off with the kidnapping of Sita. In further detail, Maricha tried so hard to convince Ravana not to kidnap Sita. He tells time over and over that it is the wrong thing to do and Rama will come back to kill Ravana. Ravana acts like it is no big deal at all. He doesn't even take it as a threat. You can easily tell this because for most of the time he isn't even paying attention to Maricha.

Ravana came up with a plan to steal Sita. Maricha disguised  himself as a golden deer and went to lure Rama away from Sita. A key thing to note here is that Lakshmana foresaw the trick and warned him. He said that there were no such animal on earth (A GOLD DEER).

Sita is taken and while trying to escape she drops her jewelry down onto the earth so that maybe Rama can trace her steps. She specifically drops something toward 2 monkeys.

Rama is told about the story of the Monkey kingdom and how it came to be. Some things to note. Hanuman is the son of the Wind. He is a white monkey with a red face. His father told them that he will possess great strength and no one will be able to kill him.
Vali and Sugriva are brothers from the father of Indra and the Sun. Vali is the King of Kishkindhya, but he is becoming more and more corrupt.

The next part of the story is about how Vali became cursed by Matanga, and also Vali began to hate Sugriva. Since I already know well about this part of the story I will spare some time writing it down.
