Extension/Parallel Activity/Reinforcement:
Write a paragraph about your favourite ‘BOOK’.
(Points: Name of the book, its author, its theme, characters in it, what you like, what didn’t like)
Ans:
“The God of Small Things”
One of my favorite Indian books is “The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy. It’s a captivating story set in Kerala, India, about a family and their struggles with love and society. The main characters are twins, Estha and Rahel, whose lives are deeply affected by a tragic event. I love how beautifully the author describes the landscapes and culture of Kerala. The way she tells the story by jumping between the past and present adds a nostalgic feeling. However, sometimes it’s a bit hard to follow the non-linear storytelling, especially at the beginning. Still, the touching and unforgettable tale makes “The God of Small Things” a truly exceptional literary masterpiece.
