Saturday Snapshot- Valle de Bravo

Hey guys! Last week, I finished my series about my trip to the UK in 2009. This week, as I usually do in between series, I'll be sharing a post about a short trip. This was a trip we took to Valle de Bravo (Mexico) also in 2009, when we were living in Mexico City. Here are some pictures of the Monarch Butterflies we saw there:

  1. How lovely (and sad, because they are dead). I've visited Mexico once, but would love to go again. Both sides of my family have relatives there that I would love to meet someday.

    1. Unfortunately, a lot of the butterflies were dead- most of the ground was full of broken wings and resting butterflies. It was hard to tell which ones were dead and which ones were alive!

      I hope you get to visit Mexico sometime soon!

  4. I've been to Tulum in Mexico, and Cancun, but that is it. We talk about the monarch butterflies here because of their migration through the states to Mexico, so your post was very neat to see! Beautiful pictures as usual!

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.
