Saturday Snapshot- Heights of UK

Happy weekend! I'm back with another mini-series on my blog. Hosted by westmetromommyreads.com , Saturday Snapshot is a meme that encourages bloggers to post pictures they've taken.
 This series will be about a family trip to the UK in 2009. Here are some of the "Heights of UK".







Have any of you ever visited the UK? Perhaps you live there? Let me know in the comments below, and have a good weekend!

  1. I've had two trips to the UK and London in particular (which I sporadically post about on my Four Seasons blog).

    I love London (except for the weather) and always enjoy seeing other peoples holiday pics :-)

    1. No- we visited London and Edinburgh. We did drive out to Oxford, but other than that we only drove through a few small towns. I can't recollect actually stopping further out.

    1. Exactly-blogging allows other people to live through you, just as reading allows you to live through characters!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
