Cargando... The Closet Ghostspor Uma Krishnaswami
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() I liked this book because it gave insight into another culture and religion that many people, both children and adults, do not know about. This is the story of Anu who prays to the monkey god Hanuman to get rid of the ghosts in her closet. The story tells of friendship and fear and also belief in a power greater than yourself. This belief allowed Anu to overcome her fears. I liked this book, because it provided insight into another culture's religious beliefs to offer protection and help. I did not know much about Hinduism and their gods of a polytheistic religion. I also liked how the author used key elements of a text to help readers understand what was going on in the text. At certain pages of the text, for example, when she was talking about addressing the monkey god for protection to eliminate the ghosts from her house, in order for her to address him; she had to add -ji to the end of his name to show respect and to welcome him to her home. It was cool to see that this could be a folktale for another culture, rather than other nursery rhymes that American's love. The overall message of this story would be to stick to your beliefs, because in the end they will help you overcome your own fears. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
