IMWAYR- 31/10/2016

Hey Guys! It's time for another reading update! This week wasn't a very busy week, but I somehow managed to neglect my reading. I was really looking forward to a book that refused to cooperate with me.
 I wanted to read the Survivor's Guide To Family Hapiness by . This isn't a self-help book, but a fiction novel about a broken family. For some reason though, it just refused to download on the Kindle!
 I'm currently reading Life Without Summer by Lynne Griffin, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I don't think this classifies as Young Adult, so I'm going to categorize it as Adult Fiction. It's about a mother who loses a child and her therapist- but also about so much more.

I didn't finish any other books, but I dedicated my week to getting two reviews out, which I'm happy about, and working on some tweaks for the blog.

Happy Reading to all of you!!

    Technology can be ever so frustrating at times. I think especially when we need it most!

    Whenever somebody walks up to the information desk holding an e-reader, my heart sinks. I'm the least techie person imaginable, and I find ereaders just too intimidating....and I'm theoretically a "millenial", too! ;)

    I gave up on my Kindle - I figured I am really more a physical book kind of girl. :)

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.
