IMWAYR- 14/11/2016

Hello everyone! I'm back with another IMWAYR* post- or a reading update.
* This meme is hosted by unleashingreaders.com and teachmentortexts.com

I finished reading "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown this week. I'd started the series backwards, and I finally borrowed this book from a friend to complete the series. The series is about a Harvard symbology professor who uses his talent to solve mysteries. You could wait for my review of this book, or check out my review of Inferno here.
 I also finished reading "Pretty Little Liars" by Sara Shepard. It's not a book that I wanted to read, but I was in a reading slump, and wanted a quick light read. The book was okay, but I wouldn't recommend it to any of you.

I am currently reading "This Adventure Ends" by Emma Miller. It's about a young girl who forms strong bonds with a popular girl and her twin. I'm liking it so far, but I'm not sure if I'll love it at the end.

What have you read this week? Anything interesting- maybe you could recommend it to me?

    My students loved the Dan Brown books. I only read the first one, but enjoyed it! I have The Light Between Oceans, & still need to read it! Lots of great books, wishing for more time!

    Never made it past Da Vinci Code myself. I saw the ad for the latest movie and had no idea that there had been additional books in the series. Whoops! I'm currently reading Jason Reynold's As Brave As You, which I think is going to turn out to be quite powerful.

      I think you'll like the next two. I'm a bit torn between the lat two books.
      On my way to check out "as brave as you" now!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I haven't actually read any Dan Brown, but I have seen two of the films! :-)

      I think you'll like the books much more than the movies- Of course, that's my standard response!

    I think I've only read The Da Vinci Code by Brown. Actually, it was a book I listened to while on a road trip somewhere. I don't remember where we were on our way to, but I do remember the book!

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.

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'.

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.
