This blog is part of My ELT P : 1  in this blog I will talk about the role of English in India. If we talk about English in India we see that it's a foreign language. But in our country we don't see English as foreign language but we rather see it as second language. The reason of see English as second language is may be that we accepted this language as the working language. Here I am answering some questions which are related to role of English in particularly in my life.  1.     What is English Language for you? As I have mentioned that English is considered as second language in India, so when I started studying this language it is also for me second language. But as soon as I started learning this language more I came to about it's importance. I come to know about how at individual level it is language of development. On National level it is link language. Now a days we see that technology is also developing though we found so many language to use this

As we all have basic defination  of  Literature is that Literature is mirror of society. So We see that in every culture there is something which is common. So, we see the  Hindi movie "Kya Kehna" in the context of  The novel " The scarlet letter." Though this novel is written in  1850's  and the movie is release in year of 2000 We see that there is same concept.  The major difference between this both is ending.  1. What are the name the protagonist in both the works ?  The scarlet letter :        Hester pryne                         Arthur Dimmesdale     Roger chilligworth.  Kya Kehna :     Priye      Rahul     Ajay 2. Write there story in brief. The scarlet letter :     When the novel began we see that Hester is taken to give punishment. Because she has given birth to baby whose father is unknown. Now as a part of punishment she has to ware the letter A on her chest. We see that Arthur Dimmesdale was the father

The scarlet letter is a novel written by  Nathaniel Hawthorn. As We know that there is always a movie on literary text. And watching movie on any text gave us better understanding of the text. So we also whatch movie based on that text. The movie we saw was a Version 1995. It was  directed by  Roland Joffé  and stars  Demi Moore ,  Gary Oldman , and  Robert Duvall . This version was "freely adapted" from Hawthorne and  deviated from the original story.   When we talk about movie and symbol in it we see very first that when she say that she will live in her own house all people on table are shocked as if she has committed some sin. We see that it something unnatural for them that a woman lives alone or she has her own house. When we talk about woman we see that  there are two things remarkable about them. First we see that hair is symbol of beauty so all the woman in movie always cover their hair. Second thing in movie is all the woman looks alike Nun.  There

The waste Land is a long poem written by the T. S. Eliot.  This blog is part of my class room thinking activity. In which there are three question which I have answered according to my understanding. Q : 1.  What are your views on the following image after reading "The waste land"? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzsche's views? or has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise? Here we find main thing is of conflict between two thinking proses.  Eliot was believe in supernatural power where as Nietzsche was believe in atheist. But we see that they are right in there own way. We see that in waste Land  Eliot was talking about the supernatural power, Mythology and various culture. But for Nietzsche   for him The God is dead and he says that man can survive and make better future himself.  Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzsche's view because Eliot connect  thinks from

Modern Times  is a 1936 American comedy film written and directed by  Charlie Chaplin  in which his iconic  Little Tramp  character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world.  The movie is social satire on life of people in modern Times.  The movie is set in the years of great depression. The clock in background shows that how life if people is being so busy that they don't even found time for them. In one seen we saw that there was a metaphor of sheeple mentality. That seen suggest that how people of the time has become. It shows that now people don't think and they just work in manner the first person works. The philosophical idea of  victimization of innocent people   are shown in a comical way that how time and again the tramp is taken away to jail by the cops and later he finds comfort in the jail itself. He wants to stay a little more in jail as he could easily satisfy his basic necessities as it was the years of the Great Depression and to sur

The great dictator is 1940s American political satire and comedy drama. The movie was written, directed   and produced by Charlie Chaplin. Before this he was only Making the silent films well into the period of sounds films, this was his first true sound films. In 1997, movie was selected by the library of Congress for preservation in United States National film Registry for being cutlery, historically or aesthetically significant. This note about the co-incidence is it self making fun of things. In the movie we see the look of Barber is same as look of Hynkal and that create confusion in last and that confusion gave us the famous speech. In this movie we that the slogan of "Hay Hynkal " is as same slogan of the Hitler. It shows that the note about the co-incidence is not like that. The sculpture in the movie is also symbol. There was a sculpture of great thinker but that was with the greeting of Hynkal that shows that the thinking process of thinker is also und

This blog is part of my online discussion.  In which we have to talk about the oneness of Literature. This thing we also see in the Northrop Fry's essay on Archetypal criticism. He discuss things based on this idea. What is Archetypal criticism and how it's works. You can see my blog on that by click here.   In this We see that all Literature is somehow connected with each other. Ex : 1. And when we were children, staying at the Archduke's  My cousin's , he took me out on a sled, And I was frightened. He said Marie, Marie , hold on tight. And down we went. In mountains, there you feel free.  This line is from T.S. Eliot's waste Land. This lines refers to intense sexual excitement. We see in this line that girls Marie feel Nostalgic. During this time we see that her cousin tell her to hold tight.  Also it shows that the girl is not free because of her fear. When they go down she feels  fearless and ultimately she feeling free. So without her cousin s

To understand modernist poem first we must understand what is modern and how this thing we found in  Literature. The word modern means something new which is not contemporary. Modernism was the period ( approximate) between 1890 and 1950.  The main two events of the period was the two world war.  This two world war has cast influence on the Literature of the period. Characteristics of modernist Literature :  When we talk about modernist Literature there are few characteristics of that Literature. 1. The radical disruption of liner flow of narrative. 2. They explore individual consciousness rather than narrative. 3. They make language central to artistic exploration. 4. There was a focused on individual and his alienation and confusion. 5. Modernist have interest in rhythm and fragments of everyday language. 6. In this Literature we found heavy use of symbolism and setting. As this blog is part of my thinking activity Here I look some modernist  poem and try to find

Today We watched the movie Article 15.  Our Head of the department Dr. Dilip Barad took all of us to watch the movie in Cinema. Our tickets were sponsor by Tanishq. The title of movie it self has significance. Because it is connected with Indian constitution. The article 15 in Indian constitution talks about the equality.   The very first thing I see in the movie is a Power conflict. That can be see in different ways that can be seen in the relationship between government employee and normal civilian as well as it can be also seen in  between upper cast and lower cast.  The other thing is about Hypocrisy.  That leader who is from upper cast come in the family of dalit and eats food with them. But letter on character from movie reveal that he bring food with him. Here We see hypocrisy of leader and We also see that the things which come to us by media is not full truth. Here we see the post truth in media.  One beautiful thing i found in the movie is use of dialog
