Ruth Author and Title The book is named for its main character‚ Ruth‚ a Moabite widow who married the Bethlehemite Boaz. She became an ancestor of King David (4:17‚ 22) and thus an ancestor of the Messiah (Matt. 1:1‚ 5–6). The author of Ruth is never named in the Bible. According to rabbinic tradition (Babylonian Talmud‚ Baba Bathra 14a–15b)‚ Samuel is the author. This is unlikely‚ however‚ since Samuel died before David actually became king‚ and Ruth 4:17–22 implies that David’s kingship was an

BOOK REVIEW ON: Daniyal Mueenuddin’s “IN OTHER ROOMS‚ OTHER WONDERS” By Nayan Das Much like “tambola”‚ there are only a few happy winners from the hundreds that compete in Pakistan’s social lottery‚ and that is aptly brought forward in Daniyal Mueenuddin’s “In Other Rooms‚ Other Wonders.” Very unlike the Pakistan we have accustomed ourselves with‚ goaded by gloriously buttered food and hard-hitting Pathans‚ the book shows us how life is in Mueenuddin’s country for both the supremely rich and harshly

Kyuem book report The book I choose was a story entitled‚ ‘Star Trap’ by Simon Brett. IT was published in 1982. I choose this book because I like detective novels. The storyline is very mysterious.

As I keep on reading the story‚ more and more questions keep on rehearsing my mind as I try to solve the case as well

The word “love” has become an overused word that people use for everything. What I find discomforting is the

Kipling’s story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi from his novel The Jungle Book has become a major hit ever since it was published. When Chuck Jones’ cartoon film Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was released‚ it became even more popular than the book.

The book retained its entertainment value because people still read old books and consider them to be classics. People who read the book will be bitterly disappointed by the movie as
