Reading Notes: PDE Ramayana Part C

These notes are from:  Hanuman's Leap by Sister Nivedita from Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists

Plot: 

+Monkeys are hopeful, but then they get sad again :/
+They are not strong enough to make the leap
+Indra giving him the boon of choosing his death (interesting!)
+Hanuman is going to leap across the ocean!
+"thou dost surpass all things in movement and in vehemence"- ooo
+Yes! All he needed was a pep talk!
+dramatic running up the mountain
+feels like a Rocky moment
+This action scene is really cool:

"...sprang up so that the very trees were dragged upward by his impetus and fell back again behind him. He hurtled through the air like a mountain, his flashing eyes like forest fires, his lifted tail like Shakra's banner. So Hanuman held his way across the ocean."

+Wish there was more about the rakshasi that tries to eat him
     +There isn't much drama or struggle
+That's cool that he can transform back and forth!

Story Ideas:

+Make them like stunt men lol driving cars/motorcycles to leap over a gap 
+Maybe to get some money- I would make Hanuman a girl with a pink bike.
+What would be the dramatic struggle?
+Maybe just a rude man that tries to foil her leap? (it's always a man!)
+Like he tries to cut her brakes or something
