13. Comment
Content: The Three Mistakes of my
Life is a story well told. Book has
many interesting settings and
situation.
Language: This book is written simply
and has the quality that makes one
want to read the book cover to
cover in one sitting.
14. Other: None of reason for saving Ali
are based on the fact that he's a
Muslim, or they save Ali out of any
moral obligation apart from the
fact that he is a potential
cricketing great. Chetan's notions
of nationalism and patriotism are
just too immature and simplistic.
15. Conclusion
Many times our dreams crash into
pieces by unexpected events but
with support from people around, we
can get back on track, focus and
rebuild our dreams.
Life will have many setbacks. People
close to you will hurt you. But you
dont break it off. You dont hurt
them more. You try to heal it.
