- It's interesting to me that Jatayu in the original story was called an eagle and in this story he is called a vulture
- It would be interesting to look into the Indian language and see If vulture has a negative context like it does in English
- Surasa is the water Goddess/demon tasked with stoping Hanuman from jumping to Lanka (Ravana's Kingdom)
- Vibhishana is Ravana's brother, but is loyal to Rama
- He would be a great ghost to add to my story, because he could present the characters with more information regarding his brother and their past
- Hunuman then tears up the grove where Sita is being kept after delivering her a message and Rama's ring
- This part of the story was very interesting and different from the original story
- Ravana decides to set Hanuman's tail on fire as punishment but Hanuman makes his tail grow and the fire it causes burns everything except for the house of Vibhishana and Sita's ashoka grove
- This burning event makes everyone in Lanka fear Rama
- Here is another part where the bow that Rama wields becomes a crucial element to the story
- When Rama and his army reach Lanka, Rama shoots a bow into the city and it knocks Ravana's Crown off
- During the battle the God Indra send weapons to help Rama
- From this he uses Indra's bow to slay Ravana
