IMWAYR- 13/08/2017

Hey guys! I've had a busy few days. My sister just left for college for the first time- so naturally our house was a mess! I'm linking up with Kathryn @ Book Date to update you all on my reading.

I finished reading a review book "Neighborhood Girls" by Jessie Ann Foley. I absolutely loved it- the review will be coming out sometime in early September.

I didn't finish anything else this week, but I did start reading another review book."Blood and Ink" by Stephen Davies is a story of teen radicalization. 
I began reading a light, non-review book "Heist Society" by Ally Carter. It seems like just the quick read I need now!

Hope you guys all had great reading weeks too! Let me know all about your week in the comments below.

      I'm enjoying Blood and Ink so far. It has the tone typical of a book set in India or the Arab world, but I like the characterization.

    I liked The Heist Society when I read it. Nothing like spies and thieves for a good time! Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    I am always happy to slot in a non review book, it is reading with no pressure!

    Heist Society's been on my wishlist for about as long as it's been in print. Come see what I'm reading.

      It's the same thing for me! I feel like I only get around to reading these books when I'm swamped with school work or review books.

    I always thought the Heist Society books looked fun. Neighborhood Girls does look good too.

    sorry if this is a duplicate. I think my PC glitched :(

    I hear you! I'm having a hard time keeping up with my blogging in the summer. I heard Neighborhood Girls is good so I can't wait for your review. Hope you enjoy it :)

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.
