Finally, we are done with the book. Overall, I believe this book
was fascinating and well composed. At first, I really didn’t enjoy reading
however as I went further into the novel I enjoyed every moment of it. Michael
Ondaatje has done a fabulous job in constructing its theme love all throughout
the novel. From Hana’s love for Almasy, Almasy’s love for Katherine and Hana’s
love for Kip they all shared the same concept of love however in different
forms. I believe in our society sometimes we should step back and see what we
are missing and passing away from. Time never comes back, its precious thus we
have to use it wisely. Being a kind-hearted person inside and out will foremost
make you feel better and worthy. It’s not about what you do for other it’s the
time and effort you spend in caring for them, that’s important. We can never
lie to our souls, guilt is my most fear and personally I can’t live a day with
somebody being upset or mad at me. Moreover, I try my very best to be the best
I possibly can yet I know perfect is hard to reach. This novel has taught me
that love can be seen everywhere and among everyone. The feeling after you help
somebody out can never be compared to anything in this world, its precious and it’s
hard to put a price tag on. Thus, I will try to show pride and honour all throughout
my life.
