The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher - A Book Review

The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
Potter Beatrix The Tale of Jeremy Fisher
The story is about Mr. Jeremy Fisher, the frog who went for fishing wearing Macintosh and a pair of shiny goloshes. What a sight!  He dreamt of having a dish of minnows for dinner.  Jeremy  not only lost the fish he caught, but also was swallowed by a large trout. Fortunately, he escaped from its mouth and somehow reached home before his friends showed up. They had brought food with them and Jeremy did not have to starve.

An illustration from the book:

This simple tale tells us about sharing and making good out of the given situation. Mr. Jeremy Fisher decided to call his friends for dinner, only ‘if’ he could catch more than five fishes. Later he ended up with nothing and had to be content with whatever his friends brought with them. The true spirit of sharing lies not in sharing when you are rich, but in sharing when you have a little. Kids, don't we share our lunch with friends? It is fun, right?

To Kill a Mocking Bird - A Book Review

To Kill a Mocking Bird   by Harper Lee To Kill a Mocking Bird- Harper Lee To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee is one of the best classics of modern American literature. Published in 1960, it rounds up an event happened when the author was 10. She brings to light the culture, tradition and the lifestyle of her family and the neighbourhood in her hometown in Alabama during 1936.   The narrative by Harper Lee explains in languid manner the childhood events of Jean Louise and her brother Jeremy. It starts off explaining how her brother got a crooked arm and went on like any simple childhood story with friends and summer time adventures including peeking into a strange and lonely house where the inhabitant never left the house for years. By the flow of the story one would assume that the story is about the characters getting acquainted with an odd character Arthur, whom they have only heard about but not met. Slowly the author takes a turn connecting serious aspec...
