Discovering the Beauty of English Literature: A Late but Worthwhile Realization

 Glad to say that I’m finally done with my English preparation for today. Surprisingly, I actually found something interesting about studying English!

For someone like me—who barely touched an English book all year—reading these stories now feels overwhelming yet fascinating. Some are beautifully written with deep, thought-provoking themes, while others are simply masterpieces of storytelling. And because I'm into writing myself, I could truly appreciate the writer’s perspective in a way I never did before.

Take "Deep Water" by William Douglas, for example. The line "Death is peaceful, it’s the fear of death that’s terrorizing" literally gave me goosebumps. Then there’s "The Rattrap" by Selma Lagerlöf—a brilliant mix of humor and deeper meaning.

Some poems, like "My Mother at Sixty-Six" by Kamala Das, hit differently. I won’t lie—I was almost in tears. Then came "Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda, and I finally understood why he’s called a great poet. That poem wasn’t just good—it was profound.

And let’s not forget "The Enemy" by Pearl S. Buck—a deeply moving story that teaches a valuable lesson on humanity. Finally, "On the Face of It" by Susan Hill got me emotional too, but I managed to hold back my tears. Come on, I’m not a crybaby!

Anyway, that’s all I wanted to share—I actually enjoyed studying English, and I didn’t expect that! But now, I’m missing out on my match, and I need to go support India before it’s too late! 👀

Signing off—until next time!
