Saturday Snapshot- Heights of UK

Happy weekend! I'm back with another mini-series on my blog. Hosted by westmetromommyreads.com , Saturday Snapshot is a meme that encourages bloggers to post pictures they've taken.
 This series will be about a family trip to the UK in 2009. Here are some of the "Heights of UK".







Have any of you ever visited the UK? Perhaps you live there? Let me know in the comments below, and have a good weekend!

    I've had two trips to the UK and London in particular (which I sporadically post about on my Four Seasons blog).

    I love London (except for the weather) and always enjoy seeing other peoples holiday pics :-)

      I love seeing holiday pictures as well. It's the main reason I'm drawn to travel blogs. I spend so much of my free time browsing them!

      No- we visited London and Edinburgh. We did drive out to Oxford, but other than that we only drove through a few small towns. I can't recollect actually stopping further out.

      Exactly-blogging allows other people to live through you, just as reading allows you to live through characters!

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.
