ANTHEM

Assalamualaikum

Hye guys ! So , how was the previous sharing about Hlovate’s book ? If you like , we are feel free to know your comment. Okay, since I am the hardest fan of Hlovate, I wanna share something new and something latest to all of you. I am very super duper sure that you will be like this one. ANTHEM !  Let’s at the lil synopsis.
Silam:
Westernized.
Memang bukan budak perempuan biasa. Nur Dania Dashrin. Bukan dipanggil Nur, bukan dipanggil Dania. Hatta bukan dipanggil Dashrin pun. Jika ditanya tentang asal-usulnya dan rumahnya di mana, jawapannya mungkin Belgium, Romania, Austria, Perancis, Amerika atau India.


Selepas Silam:
Dulu, ‘segalanya’ yang mahu ditinggalkan tu ialah dunia canggung yang serba menyesakkan dan melemaskan. Dunia di mana pertembungan kepercayaan, prinsip, budaya, definisi dan erti langsung buat dia rasa dirinya salah sentiasa dan tak ada harga. 
Sekarang, ‘segalanya’ yang bertanda gelap itu kini mahu dia ubahkan warnanya. 


Kini:
Kedegilan Dash untuk membuktikan bahawa dia berhak
untuk menjadi dirinya sendiri
tanpa mengikut acuan tipikal masyarakat keliling, membawa kepada satu perjalanan panjang yang merentas benua dari Malaysia, ke India, ke Scotland, dan tanah antara ketiga-tiganya.
Pheww. Sound cool aite ? So, what I can share with all of you after finishing this amazing novel is, you MUST read this novel. But why ? Doesn’t it makes sense ? Yeah. All the content makes us feel great with our life. It also tell us how to change to be a better person.  

The story start  when :


Hi, I’m Dania Dashrin. Call me Dash. I lived in (isi tempat kosong dengan nama tempat yang last ayah kena stationed) prior. I love music, and having a good time’.

Nur Dania ‘Dash’ Dashrin; a third-culture kid caught in a limbo between home-country Malaysia and the world she knew. Sent back to Malaysia for her Upper Form Secondary education from Delhi, hell broke loose as she was adjusting with the life and expectation living in a boarding school, especially not being made easy by those who would never understand. The clashes of beliefes,culture, principals, definitions of identity and a struggle to prove that she was her own person, was a long battle.

And she learnt; that everybody sure do have a past, but currently giving their all to live the present, and sure as rain deserves a future.


The most interesting quotes in Anthem are :

·         We are all born with heaven's key . Either we retain it or we lose it . 
·         Between living well or living hell , we've made our choices and we've made through it 
·         Better late than never.
·         Allah tengok usaha bukan natijah .
·         Don't be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn't do what you do , or think as you think or as fast . There was a time when you didn't know what you know today .
