In this episode of reading, I really enjoyed the character Hanuman. I felt like throughout the rest of the book he was a big help to Rama, a long with the fellow animals (pgs.89-130). He had helped Rama battle with Vali and also Ravana for the abduction of Sita. I also enjoyed the character Sugriva. It is sad that he lost his wife but in the end Sugriva helped Rama in the lead of the search party. Sugriva became king after the battle with Vali. Also I admire the bravery of Hanuman, in one particular chapter on pg.118 Hanuman said, "Do not despair or give up. There is much we can still do. If we are to die let us die in a battle. Remember Jatayu, how he died nobly fighting Ravana to the last." There is so much bravery in Hanuman and he is so loyal. The mention of Jatayu encouraged them to fight. Hanuman was a very significant character in this story especially to Rama, without his help and others Rama may have never found Sita. They were the support system for Rama and most importantly Hanuman was glorified for his courage and knew that he was the only one who could carry the message of hope to Sita. His search for Sita continues as he shrinks himself into a smaller size towards the end of the book.

Poor Jatayu who tried to save Sita from Ravana. Although he failed, in his last dying breath he tried to tell Rama Lakshama where RAvana went but it was too late for he had passed away. Hanuman is loyal to Rama and that is what makes him so important in the story.
