Continuous Writing Exercise After reading this book I... Felt inspired and re energised. After years of feeling like I had fallen off the protest wagon it was really good to read a book that makes me feel like I want to jump straight back on it again. The way the book is written and the information in there was super interesting, it gave really indepth insight into a lot of positive movements but also gave their context in history which really illustrated how long some of these movements have been going for and who influenced other movements around the world. The way that Solnit talks about hope is really inspiring. She talks about it in such an open and varied way it really made me think about my own perceptions of hope, what it means to me and helped me get out of the “gratuitous despair� that she talks about in the book. I’m really pleased that this is the book that I was assigned, I feel like I really needed it.
