Review
I firmly believe this book will hold significance one day. Despite not being a collection of quotes or a self-improvement guide, it offers profound lines worth remembering.
One particular favorite of mine reads: “Someday, I’ll vow, ye’ll be sumbuddy, Mark my word!”
Looking beyond its superficial technical flaws, I found myself drawn to the deeper significance of its words, letters, and punctuation. In life, we often judge and are judged based on initial impressions and socially-conditioned standards, leading to criticism, discrimination, or worse.
Should these trends persist? History suggests destructive behaviors should cease, yet achieving this goal isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, there are too many variables to consider for a universal solution.
Returning to this book, should we assess it by conventional standards? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. For me, there’s much more beneath the surface, reminiscent of an iceberg, not necessarily the antagonist of the Titanic but rather a symbol of hidden depth and potential.
In short, I appreciated the imperfections and ironies within this piece, prompting deeper reflection and offering glimpses of hope when needed most.
There’s a profound statement from a nameless merchant in the book that resonated with me deeply—an utterance fitting for the essence of “RAT.”
