Reading Notes: Ramayana Part C

-
King Sugriva

  • "Tears of love the tender Tara on her slaughtered hero shed; E'en Sugriva's bosom melted when he saw his brother dead,"
  • "Hanuman of sun-like radiance, lofty as a hill of gold, clasped his hands in due obeisance, spake in accents calm and bold."
  • I really liked how the two lines above were worded.

Hanuman in Lanka
  • Hanuman promises Rama that he will find Sita. This is the first time he is searching for in Lanka
  • Hanuman finds Ravana sleeping but Sita was nowhere to be found
  • He wanders far and wide, and he still can't find Sita

The Ashoka Grove
  • After wandering to Ashoka Grove, Hanuman finally finds Sita

Sita and Ravana
  • Ravana finds Sita and asks for her hand in marriage
  • Sita rejects him, which shows her loyalty towards Rama

Hanuman and Sita
  • Hanuman approaches Sita when it is the right time and she assumed that Ravana was taking on another form to trick her. 
  • She got reassurance from the vanara spy who showed her Rama's ring
  • Hanuman offered to carry Sita away but she denied his offer because she does not want to be touch by any male even if she is getting saved due to the respect for Rama
  • This, in a way, shows her loyalty towards Rama

Hello everyone, my name is Tracy! My major is chemical bioscience with a minor in psychology and concentration in pre-PA. I know... it sounds tough and people are always shocked when I tell them, but it is honestly not that bad! Yes... there are times where I am drowning in the schoolwork, but overall, I like the classes I have to take for this major. Well, except Human Anatomy. That class has got to be the hardest class on campus. I believe it is harder than organic chemistry! Don't believe it? Take it and see for yourself. Just kidding, don't suffer like I did. Personal picture of this view in Baltimore; photo from May 2019. School is in session again and I am glad to be back, but at the same time, I am not. I'm missing summer a little extra this year because I had so much free time to travel and see people I couldn't see during the school year. This summer, I traveled to Baltimore for a convention with my sorority, took numerous trips to different parts of Tex

Gold Necklace. Source:  PxHere . Once upon a time, there were two girls, Linda and Louise, who were the best of friends. They grew up in the same streets, went to the same school, and did literally everything together until Linda moved away for college one day. Before Linda moved away, she gave Louise a golden necklace as a token of their friendship and told her to keep it safe until she come backs the next summer. Louise promised to take great care of the necklace. She kept necklace safe by wearing it around her neck; however, one day, the necklace broke and fell off her neck without her noticing it. Louise did not notice this until a few days later, but when she did, she did not bother to tell her best friend, Linda. The next summer rolls around... Linda knocked on Louise's door and said, "Bestie, I am back for the summer!" Louise came running to the door as soon as she heard Linda's voice.  "I am coming, Linda! I will be right there,"
