Talking About "Midnight’s Children" by Salman Rushdie
Jaegyum: Wow, that story "Midnight's Children" sounds super interesting, right, Jaeyi? All those kids born right when India became independent!
Jaeyi: Yeah! And they all have special powers because of it. Like Saleem Sinai, he can hear everyone's thoughts! That's so cool! The summary said it's like they're all connected in their minds.
Jaegyum: Remember how the summary talked about the clock tower striking midnight? It said all the babies born then were special. It's like the whole country's history got mixed up with their lives.
Jaeyi: And Shiva, Saleem's rival, he's a really good fighter, the summary said. It's like they're two sides of the same coin, almost like they need each other in the story.
Jaegyum: It also mentioned something about a "magic" in their blood. Being born at that exact moment gave them something extra. Imagine being able to talk to so many people just with your mind!
Jaeyi: But it also sounded a bit complicated, all those different families and how their lives got tangled together because of when they were born. The summary made it seem like their stories are India's story too.
Jaegyum: Exactly! It's like they are Midnight's Children because they were born at such an important time, and their lives show what happened in India after that. Pretty neat, huh?
Jaeyi: Definitely! I wish we could read the whole book. Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad!
