Pre task : Edgar Allan poe's short stories.

This blog is part of my pre task on Edgar Allan poe's story. He was famous for his short story.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.  



In this blog I try to answer the question asked by Dr. Jay Mehta. Who will going teach us this story of Poe.

1. Read the first Gujarati story and listen to the audio recitation of the second story. Observe how the two wordsmiths work wonders through words! 

In this task sir has gave us two story first is માનસંધ ( Mansang ) by Dr. Jaynt khatri.  And second story is for listing; પાનકોર ડોશી ( pankor doshi ) by zaverchand Meghani. 

In the both The story we found that form The very bugging we see that the both the story starts with the night.  In the first story author clearly say that it is very dark night. In the second story poetry talks about the night which is very dark as well as he also say that for the village all night in last ten years are same.  Even in the second story he uses line where he say " એ ગામ પર બિહામણી રાત જમ 
જમ અંધારું વરસાવતી ‌‌‌‌હતી."‌ using of this type of sentences gives more tention or we can say horror feeling.  

In this way both the writer has try to create the horror with the use of words. 

2. List out various adjectives that contribute the most in creating the "pre-established design" or effect that the author intended to create.

When we talk about adjective it is something which add to discription to word which help to create the diffrent effect. In the first story માનસંધ he use word like અંધારી for night even he explained that the night was too dark that he won't  able to see the other people. Further he explains about the crying of dog. Which in Indian Myth use for something bad. So we see by using simple adjective he is successful to create horror atmosphere.

In the second story author also use same thing about the crying of dog and for night he use adjective like બીહામણિ. And also discribe the dog's eating of donkey that is very scery. 

So We found that in both the story by using simply adjective and little bit of discription author pre established the design of horror. 

3. Which are the phrases you find frightening? How are they placed in the text?

When we read the first story માનસંઘ  we see that when they were talk about the કરમસી  at that time  જીવરામ  use the phrases like "‌ થવા કાળ હતું તે થયું.' this indicat that something bad has happened. And after this  they tell the story of karmshi that eveyone in his family has died after working there. 

4. Can you find out any other lexical varieties such as figures of speech like simile, metaphor, personification etc? Briefly explain their significance in the story.

Yes in both the story we see that author has used the figure of speech. In the first story author compare the voice of person with the voice of water. "પાણી‌‌ ભરેલી ગાગર ઢલવીએને અવાજ થાય એવો નિરસ, જાડો, ખોખરો અવાજ" then he also compare the tears with the tide of sea. "  આંસુના દરિયાની કંઇક ભરતી હતી જાણે " 
So we found the author use this thing in the story.

In the second story also we found same kind of things. In this author compare hair with the feathers. " શાહુડીનાં પીંછા પેઢે વાળ ઊભા."

Like this we found that in both the story author use different kind of figures of speech.

5. What is the impact of listening  to the stories on your mind? Which Rasas/emotions erupt in you during and after the reading/listening sessions?

When I read the first story I feel horror and also feel astonishment when the truth of માનસંગ  reveal. That by look how we judge the people and what actually there is truth about the person. 

When the second story bignan at that time I feel scremy. And then I when the story of pankor began at that time I feel horror but when the whole story of her complete at that time I feel sympathy for her.

પ્રેમ કે આદત

Payar hua ikrar hua hai Pyar sai fir kyu darta hai Kahta hai dil rasta mushkil Malum nahi kaha hai manzil. આ ગીત મે ઍટલે નથી લખ્યું કે મને પ્રેમ થયો છે. સાચે કવ તો મને પ્રેમ થય જ ના શકે. પણ આજ આ ગીત સભડ્યું એટલે અમુક વિચાર આવ્યા એટલે લખ્યું. આમતો આ સોંગ જ એક ટ્રેડ માર્ક છે. જ્યારે કોઈ પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળે એટલે જો એને પ્રેમ થયો હોય તો એના પ્રેમી કે પ્રેમિકા ની યાદ આવી જ જાય. પણ હું જ્યારે પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળું ત્યારે મને સવાલ થાય કે શું પ્રેમ કરવો અને પછી એનો એકરાર કરવો સરળ હોતો હશે ?  અને જો ખબર જ છે કે આ બધી વસ્તુઓ ખુબ અઘરી છે તો લોકો આમાં ફસાતા કેમ હસે ? પછી આગળ સોંગ માં એવું કે છે, કે જો પ્રિય પાત્રો નો સાથ છૂટી જશે તો ચાંદ નહિ ચમકે. એવું થોડી હોય કોઈ એક વ્યક્તિ ના આપડા જીવન માંથી જતા રેહવાથી કઈ આટલો બધો ફરક  થોડી પડતો હશે. મારા મતે જોવા જાવ તો આ બધી એક આદત ની વાત છે. તમને કોઈ ના હસવાની, કોઈના બોલવાની, કોઈની ચિંતા કરવાની આદત પડી ગઈ હોય અને અમુક કિસ્સામાં કોઈના ઝગાડવાની પણ આદત પડી જતી હોય છે. બસ આટલું જ હોય. સમય ની સાથે આપડે આપના રૂટીન માં ગોઢવાત જઈએ અને બધું ભૂલાઈ જાય. એ
