Saturday Snapshot- Pompeii

I'm afraid we've run into a slight problem (with an easy solution)! This will be my fifth post about my trip to Italy in 2012. Since it's a much larger "mini-series" than any of my other ones, I am now officially calling this a series.

So.... today, in continuation of last week's post, I'll be posting about a trip to the Roman city of Pompeii.

    1. I encouraged my parents to take a detour to Pompeii on our trip to Italy, after studying about it in art and history!

    1. It really was- and being the imaginative kid that I was at the time- I found it really easy to imagine it in all its grandeur!

  7. I visited Pompeii when I was 14 years old and loved it. I had planned to return when I went to Italy on my honeymoon, but we decided to spend an extra day in Rome instead.

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.
