‘Amba Yahaluwo’ Best true to life story on friendship

Amba Yahaluwo (Best Friends) is a great, heart-warming story by popular novelist T.B. Ilangaratne, a great author of Sri Lanka. It is about two kids, Sunil and Nimal, who have a very strong friendship, but are kept apart because of their places and castes in the society. Sunil comes from a family of people in a higher caste, thus is kept away from Nimal, whose father is a daily wage earner. But no matter how hard their elders try to keep them away, they’ll always find a way to see each other every day. And their fates also seem to collide a lot, too. For example, Nimal is Sunil’s classmate, and when Sunil moved to another province, Sunil’s heartless grandma brought Nimal as a slave. At least they got to be with each other.

But, as in any work of humans, there’s a spot or two that could do with improvement, I believe. In this paragraph, I’ll point out some of them, and I’ll write a bit of an alternative. So the first part I think could be some change in the part where Sunil and Nimal run away. They make their escape from the bungalow, where Sunil’s family lies, because Nimal – as the worker there – is often mistreated. Nimal jumps onto a train, and because of their friendship, so does Sunil. They get away until they reach Colombo, but before they could leave the train someone notices their guilty looks, and hands them over to the police. But I think it would have been better if they got out of the train, had a little hike around Colombo city, got into trouble (such as being robbed of their money by a hooligan) and handed themselves over to the police, crying to go home. However, that really depends on the reader; but still, getting caught before getting out of the train is a bit dull. The next bit is here Sunil’s family goes poor. I think the author should have added an inside view of their life.

Amba Yahaluwo

This is a very popular novel in Sri Lanka, often read in schools. It tells the story of two friends of different social class in rural Sri Lanka. As a background, the book describes life in the Srilankan country side in the 1950s.

The novel is sad at times, but the loyalty of both friends gets its reward with the time.

The novel contains good moral examples. Virtues are rewarded, and inmoral behavior, though it may bring some benefit in the short term, eventually is punished.

The original is written in Sinhala, and the only translation to English available, does not seem of very good quality.

Would you like to have another adventure in the Enchanted Wood? The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton continues the story of Joe, Beth and Frannie. In this novel, their cousin Rick comes to stay with them. It's a magical world on top of the Faraway Tree! All the children are amazed by the magic they witness in lands such as the Land of Toys, the Land of Spells, the Land of Dreams, the Land of Topsy-Turvy and the Land of Presents.

The most exciting adventure the children have is in the Land of Toys. They meet talking toys who they never thought could talk! They also see beautiful dolls’ houses, toy shops and toy stations. Teddy bears, dolls, stuffed animals and clockwork toys are running and walking about, talking and laughing. Joe, Beth and Frannie give their mother a surprise when they bring Moon-Face and Saucepan-Man down from the Faraway Tree to visit. Their peculiar adventures continue as Rick grows very tall after drinking a magic potion by mistake, and he has to bend down so that his head doesn't touch the roof. The novel takes the reader on a trip to many magical lands where interesting people live. The novel ends on a happy note with the children taking home beautiful presents for their parents.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is written by J.K Rowling, and it is the eighth book in the series. Harry is now a grown up, and a husband and has three children. One of them, Albus is hardly living up to his father's reputation. Albus and his friend Scorpius go on a hunt to change the past and make the future. But as Albus messes up their plans, Scorpius is trapped in the past. Harry Potter and Scorpius's father try to find the boys. But when they finally find them, Scorpius has already found the Time-Turner and turned everything back to normal. This story is very exciting and thrilling and it continues. The Dark Lord Voldemort's daughter Delphi tries to contact her father, believing that he is not dead. Harry disguises himself as Voldemort and goes to meet her. But Delphi recognises him and escapes. Harry Potter and his family go back home, and Harry teaches Albus a lesson. Never try to change the past and let it be as it is.

Amba Yahaluwo is my favourite book. It is a novel written by the well known writer T.B. Ilangarathna. Amba Yahaluwo is a very interesting story. This book has been translated into English. The main characters in the story are two boys. They are Sunil and Nimal. Sunil is a rich boy and Nimal is a poor boy. But they are close friends. We can learn many good qualities of Sunil and Nimal through this novel. It is an enjoyable story about children like us.

Essay on My Favourite Book for Students and Children

500+ Words Essay on My Favourite Book

Essay on My Favourite Book: Books are friends who never leave your side. I find this saying to be very true as books have always been there for me. I enjoy reading books . They have the power to help us travel through worlds without moving from our places. In addition, books also enhance our imagination. Growing up, my parents and teachers always encouraged me to read. They taught me the importance of reading. Subsequently, I have read several books. However, one boom that will always be my favourite is Harry Potter. It is one of the most intriguing reads of my life. I have read all the books of this series, yet I read them again as I never get bored of it.

Harry Potter Series

Harry Potter was a series of books authored by one of the most eminent writers of our generation, J.K. Rowling. These books showcase the wizarding world and its workings. J.K. Rowling has been so successful at weaving a picture of this world, that it feels real. Although the series contains seven books, I have a particular favourite. My favourite book from the series is The Goblet of fire.

When I started reading the book, it caught my attention instantly. Even though I had read all the previous parts, none of the books caught my attention as this one did. It gave a larger perspective into the wizarding world. One of the things which excite me the most about this book is the introduction of the other wizard schools. The concept of the Tri-wizard tournament is one of the most brilliant pieces I have come across in the Harry Potter series.

In addition, this book also contains some of my favourite characters. The moment I read about Victor Krum’s entry, I was star struck. The aura and personality of that character described by Rowling are simply brilliant. Further, it made me become a greater fan of the series.

Even though the books are about the world of wizards and magic, the Harry Potter series contains a lot of lessons for young people to learn. Firstly, it teaches us the importance of friendship. I have read many books but never come across a friendship like that of Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. These three musketeers stuck together throughout the books and never gave up. It taught me the value of a good friend.

Further, the series of Harry Potter taught me that no one is perfect. Everyone has good and evil inside them. We are the ones who choose what we wish to be. This helped me in making better choices and becoming a better human being. We see how the most flawed characters like Snape had goodness inside them. Similarly, how the nicest ones like Dumbledore had some bad traits. This changed my perspective towards people and made me more considerate.

Finally, these books gave me hope. They taught me the meaning of hope and how there is light at the end of the tunnel. It gave me the strength to cling on to hope in the most desperate times just like Harry did all his life. These are some of the most essential things I learned from Harry Potter.

In conclusion, while there were many movies made in the books. Nothing beats the essence and originality of the books. The details and inclusiveness of books cannot be replaced by any form of media. Therefore, the Goblet of Fire remains to be my favourite book.

100 Words Essay on My Favourite Book

Introduction.

My favourite book is “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White. It’s a heartwarming tale that tells us about friendship, love, and sacrifice.

The story revolves around a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte. They form an unlikely friendship, with Charlotte helping Wilbur escape his fate at the butcher’s knife.

250 Words Essay on My Favourite Book

Every book has its unique charm, but the one that has captivated my heart the most is George Orwell’s “1984”. This dystopian novel, published in 1949, is a profound exploration of totalitarianism and its effects on society.

Plot and Themes

“1984” is set in a future where society is under the control of the Party, led by Big Brother. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a low-ranking member of the Party who begins questioning the regime’s oppressive rules. The book’s themes of surveillance, manipulation, and the eradication of individuality are as thought-provoking as they are chilling.

Impact and Relevance

Orwell’s “1984” is not just a book, but a mirror reflecting the potential consequences of absolute power. The concept of “Newspeak”, the language created by the Party to limit free thought, resonates with the manipulation of information in today’s digital age. The omnipresent surveillance reminds us of the growing concerns about privacy in our interconnected world.

Personal Reflection

“1984” is my favourite book because it challenges me to think critically about society and the power dynamics within it. It’s a stark reminder of the importance of freedom, truth, and individuality. Every time I read it, I find new layers of meaning, making it a timeless piece of literature.

In conclusion, “1984” is a powerful book that leaves a lasting impression. Its relevance in today’s world makes it an essential read, and its thought-provoking themes make it my favourite book. It’s a testament to Orwell’s genius that his work continues to inspire and provoke thought, even after seven decades of its publication.

500 Words Essay on My Favourite Book

Books are the repositories of knowledge, wisdom and a source of joy. They are our best companions that open up new dimensions of understanding, and among the multitude of books, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee holds a special place in my heart.

Unveiling the Narrative

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is a masterpiece that elegantly intertwines the themes of innocence, morality, and racial inequality. Set in the backdrop of a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression, the narrative is a profound exploration of human behavior and the complexity of social norms.

Characters and Plot

The story is narrated by Scout Finch, a young girl living with her older brother Jem and their widowed father Atticus, a highly moral and principled lawyer. The plot thickens when Atticus is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. The trial and its aftermath expose the children to the harsh realities of prejudice and moral hypocrisy.

Symbolism and Themes

The title of the book itself is a metaphorical symbol. Atticus advises his children that it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird as they do nothing but make music for us to enjoy. This can be seen as an allegory for the unjust treatment of innocent individuals in society.

A Lesson in Empathy

One of the most impactful lessons from the book is Atticus’s advice to Scout about understanding others: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This message of empathy, understanding, and tolerance resonates deeply, making it not just a book, but a guide for life.

Impact and Influence

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has left an indelible mark on me. It taught me that standing up for what is right, even when the majority is against you, is the true mark of integrity. The courage and righteousness of Atticus Finch have greatly influenced my personal values and ethics.

In conclusion, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is a timeless classic that delves into the depths of human nature, exploring themes of innocence, morality, and racial prejudice. Its profound impact and the lessons it imparts make it my favorite book. Reading it is not merely an act of leisure, but a journey into the complexities of society and the human mind. It has shaped my perspective towards life and continues to inspire me to stand against injustice and uphold morality, even in the face of adversity.

That’s it! I hope the essay helped you.

My Favourite Book

Books are friends who will never abandon you. This saying rings true for me because books have always been there for me. I like to read books. They have the ability to transport us through worlds without requiring us to leave our current location.  Books have the power to transport people all over the world without them having to leave their homes. My parents and teachers always encouraged me to read when I was younger.  Harry Potter, on the other hand, will always be my favourite book.

J.K. Rowling, one of our generation's most eminent writers, wrote the Harry Potter series. These books depict the wizarding world and its operations. J.K. Rowling has done such a good job of painting a picture of this world that it feels real. Despite the fact that the series consists of seven books, I have a personal favourite.  When I first started reading the book, it immediately piqued my interest. Despite having read all of the previous parts, none of the books piqued my interest as much as this one did. 

The introduction of the other wizard schools is one of the things about this book that most excites me. The Triwizard Tournament concept is one of the most brilliant ideas I've seen in the Harry Potter series. In addition, some of my favourite characters appear in this book. Rowling's description of that character's aura and personality is simply brilliant. Furthermore, it made me a bigger fan of the series.Despite the fact that the books are set in the world of wizards and magic, the Harry Potter series contains many lessons for young people to learn.

For starters, it teaches us the value of friendship. I've read a lot of books, but I've never come across a friendship like Harry, Hermoine, and Ron's. Throughout the books, these three musketeers stayed together and never gave up. It taught me the importance of having a good friend.Furthermore, the Harry Potter series taught me that no one is perfect. Everyone carries both good and evil within them. This aided me in making better decisions and becoming a better person. We see how even the most flawed characters, such as Snape, had goodness within them. Similarly, even the nicest characters, such as Dumbledore, had flaws. This altered my attitude toward people and made me more considerate.

Finally, these books provided me with hope. They taught me what hope is and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It gave me the courage to hold on to hope even in the darkest of times, just as Harry had done his entire life. These are some of the most important lessons I took away from Harry Potter.In conclusion, while many films have been made based on the books. Nothing beats the essence and uniqueness of the books. The details and inclusiveness of books cannot be replaced by any other form of media. As a result, The Goblet of Fire is still my favourite book.

Essay on My Favourite Book 200 words – Essay 1

‘my favourite book – palace of illusions’.

I have read several books. However, none has captivated my interest as the Palace of Illusions. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni writes the book. Born in 1956, Chitra is a well-known Indian American author and poet. An alumnus of the University of Calcutta and the Wright State University, United States, Chitra received a Ph.D. in English from California.

Her book, The Palace of Illusions, narrates the story of Panchali from the epic story of Mahabharat. Chitra has given a feminist interpretation of this epic saga through her narrator, Panchali. The novel focuses on the life of Panchali. It covers those aspects of her life that were missed in the other adaptations of Mahabharat. It gives a detailed account of Panchaali’s life from when she was born. Her birth was no less than a miracle. She was born magically in the fire.

Panchali was the daughter of a wealthy king. She went on to marry the five Pandavas. After her marriage, her hardships have been written at length in the novel. The challenges of living in exile, her relationship with her husband and mother-in-law, and her equation with Lord Krishna have all been covered in the novel.

Panchali is a charismatic and daring character. I loved reading about her. Chitra has portrayed the character and also depicted the events very well.

I love reading romance novels and one of the best I have read so far is 2 states by Chetan Bhagat. I love the central characters of this novel and how love evolves between them. The novel is said to be partly autobiographical. Bhagat’s own love story inspired him to write this book. The book was loved by the masses so much that it was even adapted into a movie.

My Favourite Book Paragraph For Students

Essay on My Favourite Book 400 words – Essay 3

‘my favourite book – a suitable boy.

One of my all-time favourite books is Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Boy. The story is lengthy but doesn’t get boring at any point. It is one of the longest Indian novels ever published in the English language in a single volume. It contains as many as 1349 pages. I love the theme as well as the characters of this story. It took me almost two months to finish reading this novel.

The Interesting Storyline

The story is set in India, which recently attained independence from British Rule. It narrates the story of four families. The story set in the fictional town of Brahmpur focuses on the character of Mrs. Rupa Mehra, who is eagerly looking for a match for her younger daughter, Lata. As I began reading the book, it reminded me of Pride and also Prejudice.

The character of Mrs. Rupa Mehra resembled that of Elizabeth’s mother in the novel. The central theme seemed similar too. However, I like A Suitable Boy more as it is set in India and is more relatable. Seth shares that this work has largely been inspired by the Chinese novel, The Story of the Stone, authored by Cao Xuegin.

I particularly loved Lata’s character. She is a young girl who is daring and likes to make her decisions on her own. She does not conform to the rules set by her mother and the opinion of her brother. The difficulties she faces in due course of the story and the way she tries to overcome them are interesting. Her character inspires me to stand for what I feel is right.

The caste and class tension and the post-partition politics form the novel’s backdrop, making it more interesting.

About the Author – Vikram Seth

Vikram Seth, born in Calcutta in 1952, is an Indian author and poet. He belongs to a well-educated and respectable Indian family. His mother, Leila Seth, became the first Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court. Seth has written several exciting novels and poems.

His writings have been immensely appreciated. He has won some prestigious awards for his work. These include the Padma Shri, WH Smith Literary Award, Sahitya Academy Award, Crossword Book Award, and also the Pravasi Bhartiya Samman.

I love Seth’s portrayal of the changing family values and relationships in independent India. Therefore the social and political issues that the country was gripped with post-independence have been interwoven appropriately to set the novel’s tone.

I loved the character of Rusty. His journey took me through a roller coaster of emotions. I felt bad about his condition as a kid. The way Mr. Harrison treats him is heart-wrenching.

Essay on My Favourite Book 600 words – Essay 5

‘my favourite book – the god of small things.

The God of Small Things is one of the best books written by an Indian author. This was the first novel of Arundhati Roy. It won her the Booker Prize for Fiction in the year 1997. It also happens to be one of my favourite books. I love its plot, characters, and theme.

About the Author – Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy was born in Shillong, Meghalaya. Rajib Roy’s father was a tea plantation manager, and her mother, Mary Roy, was a women’s rights activist. Her parents divorced when she was two years old. She lived with her mother. They settled in Kerala, which was her mother’s hometown. She has studied architecture. She rose to fame with the release of her debut novel, The God of Small Things which became a best seller. It won her many accolades.

Roy is also a political activist. She has been working on environmental and also human rights issues.

The God of Small Things

The God of Small Things narrates the story of a family living in Kerela in the 1960s. It covers several issues, including the evil caste system and also communism. Is the story of Esthappen and Rahel. It shares the joys and sorrows they experienced during their childhood and how the turn of events during their early life evolved them as individuals.

The story moves to and fro, depicting the events occurring in the life of the twins when they were seven years old and as they turned 31. The story is about a dysfunctional family. The relationship between the characters is quite complicated. It is something that passed from generation to generation. Pappachi, the grandfather of Rahel and also Estha, could not do well professionally, and he takes out all his anger and frustration on his wife. He beats her throughout his life. The life of their kids, Ammu and Chako, also screwed up.

Chacko’s wife Margaret betrays him. She falls for another man and leaves Chacko for him. However, soon after, her lover dies. Chacko and Margaret have a daughter named Sophie, who dies a tragic death. Ammu marries a man named Baba, an incompetent and abusive person. Their marriage also falls apart soon. The two have twins, Rahel and Estha.

The main part of the story begins when Sophie, Rahel, and Estha meet. The twins are seven years old at that time. The plot gets interesting with several twists and turns. Ammu’s affair with a low caste man, Velutha, Sophie’s tragic death, Chacko’s hatred for Ammu, and also all that follows keep the readers hooked. It is sad to read how Estha and Rahel have to part ways. The twins who were so close to each other raised in different places and never get to see others for years. At last, they meet and realize how much they love and need each other.

The communist tension, the stress within the family, social issues, and the complicated relationships all written precisely and in a way that the interest is kept alive until the end.

I love the portrayal of the characters. They are all different from each other and have an interesting stories of their own. I especially love the twins. My heart goes out to them. They had a traumatic childhood because of their abusive father and frustrated mother. Their lives didn’t turn out to be great even as they grew up. Therefore only solace they found was in each other’s company which they realized as they reunited after years.

The novel touched my heart. It made me wonder how the rules made by society almost ruin people’s life. I experienced several feelings such as anger, disgust, joy, and love as I went through this book.
