Produktbeschreibung
In Snapshots 3, Maraj carries the reader into the recesses of his mind in his search for identity. Trapped between two worlds, both physically (Canada and Trinidad) and ideologically (Hinduism and Catholicism), Maraj attempts to reconcile the conflicts. Not only is Snapshots 3 an excellent read, but it could also be a philosophical teaching "textbook" for teachers. It reminds teachers how important words and attitudes are-teachers can speak life into students and inspire them, or they can destroy them with one small slip of the tongue. In Snapshots 3, we see Frank Maraj, the professional teacher, from the first days of his teaching career to the last days. His anecdotes highlight the joys and trials of teaching with reflective insights that challenge the philosophical underpinnings of the educational system.

Autorenporträt
Maraj was born to Bissondaye and Boodram Maharaj of Trinidad in 1940, the fourth of ten children. Before completing elementary school, Maraj was apprenticed to a local mechanic, crushing his secret dream of attending high school. After overcoming many obstacles, he eventually achieved that dream. Upon graduating, he was offered a teaching position with a salary of $15 per month. Following the death of his father, Frank joined the Civil Service briefly, went to England to pursue his studies, but had to return home shortly thereafter. He taught high school in Trinidad and in 1967 came to Canada to attend University. While there, he met and married his wife of 49 years, Diana. Maraj dedicated 33 years of his life to teaching in the Rainy River District. After retiring in 2005, he continues to share his stories with family, students and friends in Trinidad, the United States, and Canada.
