Review of The Vine
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Vine" by Adria L. Dunn.]
Rating: 4/5
The Vine: Messages of Hope from Around the World is a collection of letters from 47 prominent people from all over the world, sharing their thoughts on hope in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is divided into four sections: "Roots," "Trunk," "Branches," and "Fruit." Each section focuses on a different aspect of hope, such as its origins, its strength, its spread, and its potential to bear fruit.
The letters in "The Vine" are all beautifully written and thought-provoking. The authors come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and their perspectives on hope are refreshingly diverse.
I particularly enjoyed the letters from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Dr. Jane Goodall. The Dalai Lama's letter was full of wisdom and compassion, while Dr. Goodall's letter was inspiring and hopeful.
Overall, I thought "The Vine" was a beautiful and inspiring book. It is a reminder that hope is a universal and powerful force, and that it can be found even in the darkest of times. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a message of hope.
Although this book requires professional proofreading, I loved the raw essence of the thoughts expressed by honorable contributors. It is understandable having so many errors for someone to translate possibly multiple languages as not all may be in English. However, if the typos are corrected, this book may become one of the most famous books of all time.
The best part was experiencing how each one of us has lived so differently, yet our purpose is interconnected. Hence, I believe it is a gentle reminder to all of us, whatever happens in life goes on and we better make the most out of it.
TYPOS:
1. PAGE 2, para 1, line 4, sentence 2 People brought up this way lack the emotional tools necessary to tackle their destructive emotions and, consequently, they have a limited idea of how to deal with many of the problems they face.
2. PAGE 2, para 1, line 5, sentence 3 Just as we bring up children with an appreciation of physical hygiene, we need to introduce them to an equivalent emotional hygiene.
3. PAGE 2, para 1, line 10, sentence 5 Ignorance, another factor clouding the mind, can be dispelled by learning.
4. PAGE 2, para 2, line 3, sentence 2 This is what is required if we are to fulfil the goal of a genuinely peaceful world.
5. PAGE 2, para 4, line 6, sentence 5 Our opponent has not been our enemy from birth, neither has our friend been someone we’ve been attached to for all that time.
6. PAGE 2, para 4, line 8, sentence 6 Becoming a friend or an adversary is dependent on circumstances.
7. PAGE 3, para 1, line 1, sentence 1 I believe that if we use our intelligence, we can overcome many of the problems we face.
8. PAGE 3, para 2, line 1, sentence 2 Climate change, for example, has no respect for national boundaries, and because it is such a serious threat, we need to address it with a strong sense of community, recognizing how in being human we are all the same.
9. PAGE 3, para 5, line 1, sentence 2 As human beings we must be realistic and use our intelligence to look at things from different angles to see a more complete picture.
10. PAGE 4, para 5, line 5, sentence 4 After the second world war, European leaders founded what has become the European Union.
