IMWAYR-07/08/2017

This week has been quite busy- but I'm happy to say I still managed to get in a decent amount of reading. I'm linking up with Kathryn @ Book Date to update you all on my reading week.

I finished reading a review book by Michael Currinder, called "Running Full Tilt". I absolutely loved the book and its unique take on sports.


I also finished reading "Everything, Everything" by Nicola Yoon. I've been meaning to read this for a very long time- and I must say it was worth the wait! This has been my first non-review book in a while.

I'm currently reading "Neighborhood Girls" by Jessie Anne Foley, another review book I received through Edelweiss.

    Ah, nice to read a non review book, it sure takes the pressure off, even though most of the review books I read I really enjoy as well.

      That's true- reading a book just because you want to feels great! I only ask for review books I think I'm going to enjoy anyway, but I still feel compelled to finish them quickly.

    I might be the only person who still hasn't read Everything Everything. Guess I need to make a plan here... Happy reading!

      I thought I was the only person who hadn't read it yet! Have you read "The Sun is Also a Star"? If you have, then you should definitely pick up Everything, Everything- although you should do that even if you haven't read Yoon's other book!

    I met the author and bought Everything, Everything but didn't read it before I donated it to my school library. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

      I'm really happy I got around to reading it! It's a different type of romance- there's so much more to the story than just teenage love.

      Thanks for stopping by 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'.

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.
