IMWAYR- 17/10/2016

Hey guys! I'm back with another IMWAYR* post!!! I chose not to upload posts in between because I was too busy to have any good reading progress- but I'm back on my feet.
*It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is co-hosted by unleashingreaders.com and teachmentortexts.com





I finished reading The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. This is an Adult or Young Adult novel that talks of love for children, family life and monumental pain. I'd recommend everyone who's interested in the novel to read the review I'll be posting this month for a more detailed understanding of the book.
   I also finished reading Requiem, the last book in the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. It's a post-apocalyptic series about a futuristic society, similar to the Divergent and Hunger Games trilogies in basic idea, although the plot is quite different. I can't say that I loved the trilogy, but if you'd like to check out a review of the first book, you can find it here.
 I am currently reading Night Road, by Kristin Hannah. It's quite a tragic tale of friendship and loss- and I'm enjoying it so far.

Happy Reading to everyone!

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'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

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.
