Hello
People,
I have been
so buzy lately with my class assignments and activities. Barely get some
personal time for myself. Damn I miss those days when I get to spend time more leisurely.
Well today I’m
just going to write my review on one of my favorite book in collection, which
is The White Tiger by the prominent writer Arvind Adiga. Here is the secret I wanna
share with you all. I downloaded this book online(e-book) and started to read
it during my internship period. What’s so secret about it? Well I literally
read it during my working hours,hahah yeah, seriously. My boss would leave me
with some homework to do, which I have had done already, so I will be left with
some free time. So what I always do is that, I will download some e-books and start
to read it.
p/s: That’s
a tip on how to survive internship , hehehe
So I happen
to find this book online, and as I scroll down the search result page, I saw
multiple good reviews about this book. So I tell myself, why not give it a
read. So I started to read and you know what, once you started to read this
book you would be completely submerged into the nuances and the scrutinized details
of such epic story line, where the author incorporated self-reflection, the
problems his society is facing currently and also on how he ended up doing
something he initially have no idea at all.
This book
also discusses on betrayal of a worker toward his boss. This pretty much
reflect on the society. The writer innocently chose a valid character and made
this character to symbolize the slum and the dirt of a society and how hard these
people are trying to change their fate. Having a primary ideology that this
rich people who are the landlords, businessmen and the leaders of the social
hierarchy have slowly taken away the opportunity, money and all the prosperity the
poor once had by playing tricks and gimmicks leaving the younger generation to
strive for their living ended up being in the slum, life gave them a colossal failure.
The rich get richer while the poor get children and these children get more
poor children and so the cycle continues, and so the society is classified.
But this
one whole major cycle of poor plague have had reformed nothing but ample of
white tigers.
So Aravind,
had written this story with a scope that covering mostly all the white tigers
of the society by manifesting all the criteria into one sole protagonist of
this story who is also the antagonist. White Tiger, which seems to be pure,
calm, blissful and harmless indeed yet all ultimately opposite of all the
mirage traits. Tiger by its name, it hunts for flesh and blood to get satiated.
This society, which wildly consists of numerous white tigers, does hunts for
the same thing but in a different way. They hunt for money, splendorous
lifestyle, pride and fame. How do they get all this? By hunting humans, hunting
for their prey and by killing one in above the social hierarchy automatically
will be replaced by the killer. Because, when you kill you get a survival pass.
Cavemen theory works the same way I presume.
(slum in one of the leading country)
Anyhow this
is just a lil' glimpse on one portion of this book from such an A-class writer’ who is simply amazing. Perhaps would you
guys want to give it a good read, by all means please do so.
Thanks for
the read fellas, have a great week ahead!
