Gandhi In the first chapter of the Gandhi Reader, entitled Critique of Modern Civilization, the views of Gandhi are portrayed in an interview style between a reader and an editor. I feel that this style of writing is effective but confusing. I was pretty much reading an entire conversation between two people, and because of the style, I became very confused and disoriented about the text I was reading. The drawn out question answer session became boring and hard to follow. It almost seems that the editor and the reader were going at each other, and even though conflict grabs peoples attention, it drew me away from the what the important facts were. The main focus, as the title suggests, was the critique of modern civilization. The editor seems to me, to be pretty much complaining about everything going on.

Swaraj is a good principle, but I feel that one country, alone, being independent, is not gandhi, editor, just, feel, women, views, reading, make, civilization, violence, something, should, reader, people, one, in, whole, someone, really, point, part, much, england, chapter, believer, believe, because, am, about, wrong, work, view, talks, take, style
