Week 3 Reading Diary A
- After hearing Rama’s call for help, Sita is left
alone and then abducted by Ravana. Jatayu puts up a valiant fight but in the
end he is defeated and killed. Hanuman, a monkey, is introduced into the story.
- Sugriva finds some of Sita’s jewelry and gives
it to Rama and also agrees to help find Sita if Rama helps him defeat Vali, the
King of Kishkinda.
- Once Rama defeats Vali, Sugriva becomes King and
eventually sends out search parties looking for Sita.
- Rama gives Hanuman his ring to show Sita just in
case she is found.
- Hanuman and Angada get trapped in a tunnel while
heading south and find themselves in some sort of underground kingdom.
- There they find a nymph called Swayamprabha who
was a former goddess.
- They break out and release Swayamprabha but
still have no luck finding Sita.
- At the ocean’s edge, they meet Jatayu’s brother,
Sampathi. Sampathi had no wings because they had been burned. Upon hearing Rama’s
name, his wings miraculously grow back!
- Sampathi then says that he saw Ravana taking
Sita to a place called Lanka.
- To get to Lanka, Hanuman needs to cross the
ocean, which he does by growing to a gigantic size and stepping to the other
side.
