My Favorite Character

Whether you read the book or watch the movie it is very enjoyable. It teaches you life lessons of friendships. It is very intriguing and I recommend this book to

However, these chapters contain opposed views--specifically in regards to Maha--and these cause the reader to question whether or not Maha is a credible source due to his negative portrayal of her. Faqir fills the first chapter of the book with the Storyteller’s biased opinions of Maha. An example is found in his introduction of her: “that Maha was a shrew who used to chew the shredded flesh of mortals from sun birth to sun death” (Faqir 2). This is before the struggles of Maha’s life have been presented, leaving the reader with a preconceived notion that Maha possesses a demonic quality. Faqir uses words such as “shredded” and “shrew” to give Maha a personality that would be considered frail, yet dangerous. This leads to the reader questioning who Maha really is and it makes her struggles seem as if they are her fault. The way that quote is worded makes the reader think Maha is not even human, and this causes readers to remove filters and look at Maha as if she is an animal. He continues through eight more chapters, where he provides his opinion on Maha’s vainful existence. Pages 137-138 cover the birth of Maha’s child Mubarak, following the death of Harb. In the Maha chapters, Maha is forced to raise a child by herself amid the loneliness and constant oppression. However, the Storyteller leaves out that scene and comments on how “her black hair ran loose on her shoulders

I chose this book because it was recommended from people. I read the book of the book, and it seemed interesting and dramatic. I like dramatic books because it makes events more interesting and it would motivate me to keep reading the book.

Mahadeviyakka was the first women to leave her husband, this act was unheard of at this time and held the consequence of banishment or even death. During this time, women were treated like property instead of human beings, while men held all the power. Marriage was a deal made by two men trading value for value. Whether it be property, crops, money, etc these deals were made prior to a marriage for the sole purpose of a business agreement.

The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to

A brighter reality emerged once a broader perception was taken on Aanakwad and the sister. “Some get away, like my brother and sister, married now and living quietly down the road. And me, to some degree, though I prefer to live alone. And even my father, who recently found a woman.” Releasing the shawl was a process of cleansing that allowed the

My favorite reading was, Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler hands down. I believe the connection that was made with real life situations such as the Berlin wall of the Cold War or the 1992 Los Angeles Rebellion in which was a very interesting and knowledegable aspect to adhere upon.

I found this book to be well written and researched, the downside of it was it felt more like an essay. The background stories and information was repeated several times, repetition can be good but to much just makes it seem like you ran out of things

When Aanakwad brought the new baby out of the trees that autumn, the older girl was like a second mother, even waking in the night to clean the baby and nudge it to her mother's breast. Aanakwad slept through its cries, hardly woke. It wasn't that she didn't love her baby; no, it was the opposite—she loved it too much, the way she loved its father, and not her husband. This passion ate away at her, and her feelings were unbearable. If she could have thrown off that wronghearted love, she would have, but the thought of the other man, who lived across the lake, was with her always. She became a gray sky, stared monotonously at the walls, sometimes wept into her hands for hours at a time. Soon, she couldn't rise to cook or keep the cabin neat, and it was too much for the girl, who curled up each night exhausted in her red-and-brown plaid shawl, and slept and slept, until

The Novel was a compelling story to me and had a lot of valve in the book that i never knew a book could do. There was plenty of action plus the book never got boring and it was entertaining. This book made powerful characters that i never expected to have an impact on me, it was almost like a movie in my head when i was reading it. I will say that this book is a lesson for me because it teaches me that anything could happen so you can't predict but enjoy life as long as you

I have read numerous delightful books by a variety of amazing authors. These books span from the genres of Action and Adventure, Mystery, Romance, and Comedy, some of the titles include: Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, The Help, Bridge to Terabithia, Beloved, The Color Purple, and To Kill a Mockingbird. In my opinion these books all have their great qualities which make them a great read, although I must say if I were to recommend one book out of the group, I would definitely say read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

I like "To Build the Fire" best, because of not only my interest adventure but also the breathtaking scenery and psychological description. Reading English story is not very easy to me but I couldn't stop reading this one.

Although she endures pain, discomfort, and humiliation, she realizes that it is essential to have hope in order survive. Before Lakshmi goes to the city, her quiet life with her family is all she knows. They struggle every day to put food on the table and to acquire other basic necessities. Without money, her baby brother will starve and most likely die, and her mother will become frail and helpless. Prioritizing the well-being of her family over her own life, she reluctantly

I prefer this book of many because it is inspiring and consists of a real-life problem that can happen anytime, anywhere. Like, at the scene where Layla’s mother is at the hospital and even if it was midnight, Sydney still drives across town to the hospital to be a true friend to Layla. Yet, although there are the interesting scenes of the story, there are some unnecessarily boring events in the novel as well. Additionally, there are also the scenes of the story where Sydney “stalls” and talks about her learning center visits. An example of an unnecessary moment as the moment where Sydney explains her sleepover with Layla in precise detail. But otherwise, from that, I’d recommend this novel for anyone to

There is no hint of displeasure on her face as she diligently carries out her duty as an ‘ideal wife’. Also why should she have any objection for ‘as long as she lives, a woman’s God and master is her husband’. This scene emphasises the nature of a traditional marital relationship in Indian culture and the presumed duties of a woman as a wife. The text of the Ramayana is considered to be sacred and is followed religiously by people. If it happens to call a woman’s husband her master and God, its influence on the psyche of the people, especially the women, is self
