Saturday Snapshot- Santiago

Hey everyone, and welcome to the last Saturday Snapshot of the year!!! I'm going to start a new mini-series on my blog within Saturday Snapshot. This time, I'll be sharing pictures from a family trip to Chile way back in 2008. All credits for the pictures go to my dad for these pictures!

Today I'll be showing you some pictures of Santiago and the towns of Patagonia. Next week, I'll share pictures of the wildlife we encountered in Patagonia.

The hotel we stayed in in Patagonia was within a workshop, and had been designed to replicate a factory

    1. I don't remember much of the trip- I was only five, so browsing through the pictures jogged my memory. I'm glad I got to do it!

      Happy New Year Melinda!

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.
