Book review on Anita Desai's Village By the Sea

Hi everyone, I have just finished reading village by the sea by Anita Desai and I am going to say somethings about the story.I am going to introduce some characters, The protagonist of this story are Hari and Lila,their mother is sick almost throughout the whole story and their father is permanently drunken.They have two small sisters, Bela and Kamal,who are still schooling.Hari and Lila,have quit schooling ,to make ends meet in the family.They have to asume the roles of their parents as they have a dysfunctional family.
The main themes in this book are Poverty and wealth, Benefactors,Change and adaptation,rural and urban India,family relationships.I like this book a lot because it creates tension, like in some parts,when Hari is desperate and thinking what he should do to save his family from poverty.Its a very good book and i recommend everyone to read it. dont forget to visit my electronic bookshelf at My we read bookshelf

Refection on starting and maintaning a blog

It looks like Ive kind of succeeded in maintaining a blog. Before i even started a blog i felt very negative about blogs as I had no knowledge about blog templates and other stuff so I felt inferior as I thought that my classmates were all blogging experts .Luckily,only a few were experts.
Likes and dislikes-Blogging is quite an interesting precess for me as no paper is needed ,plus widgets and gadgets can be added to make it look better.As you all can see,I love the picture of the bat-dog I have uploaded using blogger.Thats the difference between blogger and a black and white diary.What I dislike about blogging ,is the trouble of booting up the computer,as my computer does not have a Random Access Memory as quick as the schools' and plus, recently, I'm facing some DNS server glitch, going to the internet is a little problem.The whole process I think is quite efiicient already, Im not sure how it can be improved.Well, remember guys, if any of you wants to see my electronic bookshelf , please visitmy bookshelf

My reading habbits

My reading habits not really confined to a certain author or selection.Because I dont select much before making up my mind what to read.A few really good books for kids about Primary 3 to 4 are Roalhd Dahl's Matilda,The witches and almost all of his works.

Usually ,when I step into a library,be it school library or not, the first book ill pick up will be the book that has a nice cover design.I discovered that when in a library, i pick up books that are not related to education.On one occasion, I picked up All 44 presidents and their wives and achievements.When in a bookstore, I usually pick up story books to read at home.So i end up treading more reference books and storybooks

"why Did I do it", from the diary of Philip Malloy

Why did i do it?I so shouldnt have stirred up so much trouble!Its all thanks to dad,who keeps telling me to know my rights!I shouldnt have...done so many things! Like suggesting a change of school, telling people what Ms.Narwin had done to me "unjustly" .Why couldnt I shut my mouth ??????Now that im famous in Washington academy for singing the national anthem!All the kids are like going "hey!isnt he the one........." Well at least im getting along with some of my good mates.I so should not have.....What have I done?

As projects day is drawing nearer , the school organised a pro^{3 venture} for us freshmen the first session was a personality test ,which i found the results pretty accurate

unbelievable luck.I got my first choice for my EP3> .-Water Polo! boo yeah.
At the start of school i had no idea i could actually meet the coaches expectations!
First day of training was pretty O.K. we did 40 laps of the width of the pool then went on to passing .The procedure was 5 mins passing then 20 situps.........on and on
