“The Diary of a young girl” – Anne frank – Book Review

“The Diary of a young girl" diary written by Anne Frank during the Second World War. She wrote this diary from 14 June 1942- 1 August 1944. She died in a concentration camp in Germany, when she was fifteen.

Anne Frank was a Jew. When Germany invaded Holland, Anne and her family moved to a secret hiding place, where she recorded the happenings in this diary. Though there was tuff time around, she found some hope around.

In 1944, all the members were caught and died in the hand of Nazis. Only his father was alive, who found this diary.

This diary can also be called a historical document of how Jewish people suffered.

The story of Anne is very touching. As an adult we may be live at one place if we are forced, but not for a long time. Anne being a teenager hides at a one place. It must be so hard.

Some of the dialogues of this book are very inspirational.

“Despite everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart”

This shows humanity of a teenage girl.

It won’t take much long to read this book. A good autobiographical book. The Pdf of this book is also available on internet.

"RIP"; Rest in Peace those who are Alive....

Hello Friends, After a long time I am writing here. Hope you all are fine. This time I have come up with a different interpretation of the phrase “RIP”. Mostly this phrase “RIP”; Rest in Peace is used for the people who are no more. We use this phrase to give sympathy towards the departed soul. The soul may get peace wherever it travels. No one exactly knows where the soul travels. Sometimes this phrase is used out of care and sometimes just for show off on social media. While sitting alone near a cemetery, a thought struck in my mind. Why do we use RIP only for dead people????? We can also use it for those who are alive. Many time people use RIP when a person is dead. The same people might have harassed the dead person when he is alive. So what’s the point of “RIP”? Suppose in the day time you behave very badly with someone. Is he/she going to get sound and peaceful sleep at night? The dead person will never come back so we just say “RIP”. Of course ever...

" The Winged Word"- David Green

In my Graduation syllabus, I had a book named “ The Winged word”. This anthology is edited by David Green. It is anthology of poems compiled for the students of English literature in the B.A courses of Indian Universities. The chronological order, in which the poets are arranged in this book, helps the students to note the development of English poetry from one age to another. Referring to this book after a long time span, gives me a immense joy. There are many poems in this book. We were given some selected poems to study during three years of graduation. The poems which were in my syllabus are as follow:- 1.) I Find No Peace – Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) 2.) My Friend, the Things That Do Attain –Henry Howard (1517- 47) 3.)

“The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” - Sir Walter Raleigh.

Hello friends, I would like to share a poem “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” by Sir Walter Raleigh. I studied this poem during my graduation. Sir Walter Raleigh was an English landed gentleman, writer, poet, soldier, politician, courtier, spy and explorer. Raleigh was one of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era. Before knowing something about this poem, it is necessary to read the poem “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote this poem as a reply to Christopher Marlowe's poem, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” . Let us see both the poems together. In Marlowe's poem, the shepherd flatters his love by making promises of an ideal life and all sorts of material things and advantages. In this poem the nymph replies the shepherd. This reply is somewhat harsh that the shepherd doesn’t want to hear. According to her love is not permanent. She doesn’t trust him...
