Summer 2017 Comment Challenge

Some of you may remember that in March of this year, I participated in the Winter 2017 Comment Challenge, hosted by Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense and Lonna @ FLYLeF. This July, I'll be participating in the summer version of the challenge (hosted by the same bloggers)!




For any of you who don't remember, the comment challenge is a way to encourage bloggers to get to know one another and in many cases introduce bloggers to one another. The point is to comment on your assigned partner's blog either 5+ or 10+ times in a month, and hopefully continue to do so after the challenge ends.

Last time I participated, my partner was Lisa @ Lisa Loves Literature. We've continued to frequent each other's blogs, and I encourage you all to check out her blog! I'm unsure of who my partner is this time, but all of us will get to know our partners come July 1st.

If any of you want to participate in this challenge, you'll soon be able to sign up for the month of August, by clicking on either of the two links I mentioned in the first paragraph. I really enjoyed visiting (what was to me) a new blog and making new connections in the blogosphere!

    It's a good idea but I bet I'd get a blogger who was all about contemporary and romance books, make up, fashion, Big Brother and the Kardashians! I wouldn't be able to find a lot to say! Good luck!

      The hosts take time to go through your blog and you have to answer a survey. They usually pair up people with similar interests.

      If by some chance you get something you've never heard of- you learned something new!

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.

A chameleon by Anton Cekhov

Hello everyone! Today I'm introducing a new series to my blog, called World Wednesday. I am not planning on posting these every week, but when I do, I will post about any piece of literature I’ve read that is set in a different culture, religion, country, state, continent, etc. It will be a window for people to share their opinions on literature that is outside of their comfort zones, and hopefully inspire them to read and learn more about other cultures. In a world that is so interconnected, it is important for us to know about other people's lives.   For this first post, I will be writing about "A Chameleon" by Anton Chekhov, a short satire set in Russia.

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'.
