The White Tiger

I think that the best part of this movie is the fact that I can relate to the book. A lot of the descriptions of the Indian villages and the things that were said in the book I can relate to. He is also really descriptive in his book.

This is just one example in which the author, Aravind Adiga, was really descriptive. His elaborate description adds to the clarity of the book. It helps the reader visualize what the author is trying to convey. These picture above is an example of how electricity poles look like in some of the less developed villages. Everyone is trying to steal electricity, the pole is filled with wire and is about to fall down. The whole scene is just chaotic. That is the the same thing that Aravind Adiga explained.

As said before I can really relate to the book because I lived in India before. I think that the most important part of reading a book is to connect to it and put yourself in the characters shoes. Along with the advantage comes a disadvantage. Since most people who read the book aren't Indian it would be harder for them to visualize the descriptions, as someone who lived there.

Instead of getting to the point he started from his childhood, and how India looks right now. He describes his village, but he doesn't get to the point. I feel like he stretched the first part of the book too much. Elaboration is only good to an extent, but after that the book becomes too stretched out. The most important thing that is pre
