 This blog is part of the academic activity done in the class.   1)    How can you explain that 'what' Virginia Woolf wanted to say (for example, the complexity of human relationship, the everyday battles that people are at in their relationship with near and dear ones, the struggle of a female artist against the values of middle/upper class society etc) can only be said in the way she has said? (Key: The 'How' of the narrative technique is to be discussed along with features of Stream of Consciousness technique which helps Woolf to put in effective manner what she experienced in abstractions.)           Virginia Woolf, tries to disclose the human retaliations and situation women in male dominated society and especially in upper-middle class. For example Mrs.Ramsay is  ideal from the[respective of male dominated society  on the other hand from the perspective of Lily Brisco she is in golden cage ,she don’t have her individual identity.

Review of the movie:Akira

               Review of the movie:Akira Director : AR Muruhadoss Story by : Santha Kumar Starring : sonakshi Sinha                  Konkona sen sharma                  Anurag Kashyap    Akira released on 2nd September 2016,is remake of Tamil filmis kind of bollywood film which can called "Hatke". From the feminist perspective this film get full marks from my side. The two female characters of the film Shonakshi Sinha and Konkana Sen Sharma both are strong.       This film shows the journey of a girl from 'Chota shaher' to 'Mayanagari Mumbai'. In Sanskrit Akira means graceful Strand. But is it big city had problems also become big. In her city she fights against the acid attack and in Mumbai she have to fight against whole system.   In the beginning of the movie directed very nicely shows that how a girl chooses karate instead of Katthak.    The other significant scene  is when Whole college is on strike she is the only one who is in class for stud

             This blog is a part of classroom activities (1)  We can not compare Eliot and Nietzche because they are right on their place.                 Nietzche is not beliving in God and any Supernatural power. He believe on man’s power like superman. He like an  atheist. According to Nietzche traditional value are like ‘ Slave morality’. The Ubermensch’.                   Where as Eliot tries to find out the solution in past like traditional values can be evoke the Waste lander .  He uses many mythical   reference from difficult culture.           Nietzche ‘s cocept is very good but we cannot refuse Eliot’s  concept because old philosophical idea which recalled by Eliot was bring a change in society once a time.

Teaching English as a second language in India

Teaching English as a second language in India.                                         kapil kapoor          In this research paper Kapil Kapoor argues that the concept of English as a second language is not purely pedagogic construct and has to be properly understood in a larger social and education context.        Second language can understood in two different ways (1)  English is a second language of that one or more in the languages (2) school education the second language is what is into news is after the primary stage.         It can understand in the latitude and in the storico perspective English in India is the symbol of linguistics centralism and other Indian languages  represent liguistic regionalism.After withdrawal of the  British from India the question is about the status of English and other regional languages.

My view about Deconstruction.

1) Deconstruction :method of critical analysis of philosophical and literary language which emphasizes the internal workings of language and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in forms of expression.     In simple language we can say that Deconstruction  is to break some idea ,myth  or any kind of belief.  Deconstruction in short  is to see anything in a topst-turvy way. 2) "Tare hameln par" is one of the best example of Deconstruction. In this movie a very common  or popular education System is challange by the creator. The other example  of it is few year back Gujrat government  think about open book exam which is also type of Deconstruction. 

Love story as a structure

In  literary criticism structuralism has their own place ,because every work of art has their own structure. Their are many critics like Ferdinand Saussure,genett,Roland Barthes etc.          For example:         If we take Romeo-juliate as structure of love story. We find many love stories are as similar. In many filmes like Ishaqzade,veer-zara, Devdas, and resently released Bajirav-Mastani. All this movies have same stucture of love story. And one other comman thing about it is that this all are ends with tragedy and death of main characters. In all this movie issue is of religion and caste as well.               In Ishaqzade issue is of religion, in Veer-Zara issue is about religion as well rival countries , in Bajirav-Mastani religion and caste is comes out as problem, in Devdas caste as well class issue is there.            So as we see that in all this movies verious structure are  found like: Religion love Revenge Countries Class
