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.

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.
