IMWAYR- 17/10/2016

Hey guys! I'm back with another IMWAYR* post!!! I chose not to upload posts in between because I was too busy to have any good reading progress- but I'm back on my feet.
*It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is co-hosted by unleashingreaders.com and teachmentortexts.com





I finished reading The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. This is an Adult or Young Adult novel that talks of love for children, family life and monumental pain. I'd recommend everyone who's interested in the novel to read the review I'll be posting this month for a more detailed understanding of the book.
   I also finished reading Requiem, the last book in the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. It's a post-apocalyptic series about a futuristic society, similar to the Divergent and Hunger Games trilogies in basic idea, although the plot is quite different. I can't say that I loved the trilogy, but if you'd like to check out a review of the first book, you can find it here.
 I am currently reading Night Road, by Kristin Hannah. It's quite a tragic tale of friendship and loss- and I'm enjoying it so far.

Happy Reading to everyone!

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.
