He was conscious about the importance of his health from his young age. I have to maintain my body in a healthy way, so that I can carry on my mission.” He was, however, concerned not only with his own health but also with that of many of his colleagues and friends, and also with that of the masses. Sarojini Naidu, a close associate of Gandhi and a leader of the freedom struggle, once said to him, “How costly it is to keep you simple.” Gandhi, after a pause, said, in a contemplative mood, “Yes, God will forgive me. He also experimented for many years with healthcare, nutrition and hygiene, and if we examine deeply all the various aspects of his work and experimentation, we find that they are all interconnected and even to some extent interdependent. That matchless non-violent kind of struggle based on Truth and Love brought people all over the world close to Gandhi. Some of his experiences and experiments led him to discover the unique and unparalleled approach to political struggle called ‘Satyagraha’. The subtitle (’My Experiments with Truth’) of Gandhi's autobiography indicates that he was a man of scientific temper and wanted to experiment and experience before accepting anything as Truth.

Like the climb to the top of a track, Recursion is a story of building momentum. Exhilarating, panic-inducing, “OMG did I tell my mom I loved her this morning” madness.Īllow me to backpedal. Scratch that the ride contains fewer bumps and more of the type of sudden drops experienced on a roller-coaster that has no business allowing four-foot-tall children to experience it. That’s the advice I would give to anyone about to read Blake Crouch’s newest novel, Recursion. Strap in and get comfortable-it’s going to be a bumpy ride. A not-so-book-review book review aimed to inform the world of the glorious ride that is Recursion (and its future with *our Lord and savior* Netflix). If that article was to have matured, wrinkled and become the middle-aged version of its relatively naïve self, it would be this article. I wrote an article earlier this year about how Netflix was adapting Blake Crouch’s yet-to-be-released novel Recursion my only familiarity with Blake Crouch at that time was his Wayward Pines Trilogy and his novel, Dark Matter-the cake-hole blowing, mind-bender about a man desperately navigating the multiverse in order to return home to his family. Probably because it’s the heart-palpitating summer read you’ve (or at least I’ve) been waiting for. Indeed, even in the modern day, there is a lack of literature regarding the psychological and emotional perspectives of American slaves and freed slaves. She suggests that no matter how civilized, polite, or devoted a slave seemed to be, white people still believed that a wild, untamed, and barbaric jungle lurked underneath a slave’s skin. Here, Morrison uses a metaphor to explain how white people in the antebellum South viewed the psychological, mental, and emotional sides of slaves. “Whitepeople believed that whatever the manners, under every dark skin was a jungle” (pg. This leads the reader to believe that Sethe’s back is bumpy, lumpy, and filled with unhealed wounds from past beatings. When Amy sees the scars on Sethe’s back, she compares them to a chokecherry tree: a slim tree that flowers and produces round, hard berries called bitter berries. Sethe was no stranger to this treatment and received a severe beating from the schoolteacher's nephew before she fled Sweet Home. The severe corporal punishment that slave masters meted out to their slaves is one of slavery’s defining characteristics. “I don't see nothing growing on your back." But it’s important for us (not-so-young) adults to remember and reflect on that time period in our lives, so that we understand and acknowledge that there are teens going through this today, and teens that will go through this tomorrow. I’m sure that for some of us, it’ll bring back painful memories of high school that we don’t care to relive again. It delves deeply into important coming-of-age issues such as love, religion, family, friendship, depression, bullying, and discrimination. Her Name in the Sky is the perfect illustration of truth in fiction. As with any review, I can only draw from my own personal reading experience and hope that my words won’t diminish its value. It’s difficult for me to write a review that does this literary work any justice because it’s extraordinary. this book did come highly recommended, so I decided to give it a shot. My past experience with religion was an unpleasant one, and I steered clear of most literature that made any reference to Catholicism/Christianity. I was initially very hesitant to read this novel. There's more menace than violence, but there are scenes where a baby is threatened with being dropped from a tower and a boy is struck across the face. Periodic gusts of wicked humor from narrator Snicket, allow readers to start breathing again.
