IMWAYR- 29/08/2016

Hello everyone! I'm back with another IMWAYR post. This meme is hosted by unleashingreaders.com and teachmentortexts.com. I didn't blog about my reading week last week because I felt it was quite uneventful. However, this week I have a little more to share, so let's get right into the post.




 This week I finished reading The Tainted Throne by Alex Rutherford, which is the fourth book in the Empire of the Moghul series. I strongly recommend this historical novel to any of you who haven't tried it out yet, I promise you'll be surprised. The book was over 400 pages, and therefore counts for my Big Book Challenge. It's my 10th Big Book of the summer.
 I also finished reading "If you could see me now" by Cecilia Ahern. The book wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I found it to be a slow read with a plot line that I thought was too childish. It's a good book however, for anyone who's looking for a break from serious novels.
 56 I am currently reading "Dead Ends" by Erin Jade Lange. I have barely read a couple of pages, so I can't say much about the book. I'm looking forward to reading "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doeer sometime this week, as well as starting "The Serpent's tooth" by Alex Rutherford as well.

I didn't get in a lot of blog posts last week:

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.
