My weekend

The weekend was a nice one, starting with gruelling tuition sessions on Saturday, it was a full working day for me as I struggled to keep myself awake due to the exteme boredness of the sessions. Science, English and Maths, these three subjects can be fun and equally tiring. Sunday was more relaxing as I did tennis in the morning and the afternoon, adding to some heavy work load from tuition.

VBTS review

We were studying a book by the name of Village By The Sea by Anita Desai. It was about how the protagonist, Hari and his family lived through the hardships of life. There were mainly thirteen chapters in the book and we also did a play on chapter 10.
There were five main themes in the book and they were, Rural and Urban india, Family, Benefactors, Change and Adaptation and Poverty and Wealth.
There were twenty main characters in the book, some were Hari and Lila's benefactors while others were the ones who threatened them.
The book described and showed the true face of how the poor have to survive, through the book, we can see many things that we are not able to go through during our everyday lives.

The book that inpsired my parents

There wasn't really a book that inspired them but I remember my mother telling me about a fascinating book she read, it was called Animal Farm, a book we were about to discuss later in the year.
She told me that Animal Farm was indeed an interesting book and she was studying it when she was a student. She said that the school had used the book as an literature piece and they were supposed to study it.
Later, the teacher would then test them on the things in the book, it is similar to what we are doing now.
