Response to Literature
Why did people fast when they were jail? Well in this Non-Fiction book Hunger by Sharman Russell it talks about Hunger and its importance in history and one of its topics is in the time when women did not have right’s so when they protested and went to jail they fasted (starved themselves) for days until they were released for fear of them dieing. In a sense women became powerful until they got fed up and started either force feeding them or letting them die until the rights were declared. A man named Mahatma Gandhi fasted for piece for two cities that were in battle because he was a very well respected and worshiped man by the two cities, which both made a piece treated so he wouldn’t die because of there wars. The theme of this book is that hunger plays an important part of history and is in history everyday.
In this book all the narration shows fasting one way or another either in science testing people for results, Religion, Self Image, or people just wanting to cleanse there body of toxins. These actions develop the theme because some people who have fasted changed history like for the rights for women, and with Mahatma Gandhi and the two cities.
I myself agree with the theme because hunger is apart of every day living because people around the world are starving to death because of lack of food and some people are fasting for themselves or other things but fasting is apart of history was then, is now. On discovery channel I watched a documentary on Africa and the people were dieing of starvation and mal nutrition. In the Holocaust one of the things people died from other than beatings or killing was starvation and lack of nutrition that’s also why when they were freed they died from eating because there stomach could not process all the new food that was suddenly given to them because of all the chemicals that needed to be digested. These two pieces that you have just read shows that hunger is a great part of history and how it’s not just in one place but is in every continent around the world.
The Author did a great job of providing info but he did a poor job of entertaining. This book did not get my interest but some others may find it very interesting but it was persuading on how much people fasted to improve their body or just for them, but this book is very dull in stuff that would keep you on your seat waiting for the next page to come, it just wasn’t that exiting. All the characters in this book he did portray realistically for one because they are real, and two he put you threw what they went threw while they fasted, all the emotions and symptoms and how they behaved. One thing that is in the book that gives a good example of what fasting can do, here is a quote “this man is angry because he just wants food”. The theme is believable because people around the world are starving and people did fast for rights and piece. Here is an example from the text on how women did hunger strikes for there rights. The women’s name is Sylvia Pankhurst who is one who did the hunger strikes. She was arrested for graffiti and she demanded to be treated as a political prisoner and declared that she would not eat until so. After ninety hours she was finally released and this kept on happening until the rights were declared although some women did die. Through out the book Hunger by Sharman Russell the theme is hunger has played an important part of history and it still does everyday.
