IMWAYR- 14/11/2016

Hello everyone! I'm back with another IMWAYR* post- or a reading update.
* This meme is hosted by unleashingreaders.com and teachmentortexts.com

I finished reading "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown this week. I'd started the series backwards, and I finally borrowed this book from a friend to complete the series. The series is about a Harvard symbology professor who uses his talent to solve mysteries. You could wait for my review of this book, or check out my review of Inferno here.
 I also finished reading "Pretty Little Liars" by Sara Shepard. It's not a book that I wanted to read, but I was in a reading slump, and wanted a quick light read. The book was okay, but I wouldn't recommend it to any of you.

I am currently reading "This Adventure Ends" by Emma Miller. It's about a young girl who forms strong bonds with a popular girl and her twin. I'm liking it so far, but I'm not sure if I'll love it at the end.

What have you read this week? Anything interesting- maybe you could recommend it to me?

    My students loved the Dan Brown books. I only read the first one, but enjoyed it! I have The Light Between Oceans, & still need to read it! Lots of great books, wishing for more time!

    Never made it past Da Vinci Code myself. I saw the ad for the latest movie and had no idea that there had been additional books in the series. Whoops! I'm currently reading Jason Reynold's As Brave As You, which I think is going to turn out to be quite powerful.

      I think you'll like the next two. I'm a bit torn between the lat two books.
      On my way to check out "as brave as you" now!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I haven't actually read any Dan Brown, but I have seen two of the films! :-)

      I think you'll like the books much more than the movies- Of course, that's my standard response!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I think I've only read The Da Vinci Code by Brown. Actually, it was a book I listened to while on a road trip somewhere. I don't remember where we were on our way to, but I do remember the book!

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.
