Ozymandias by P.B.Shelley:-

Ozymandias,a short poem has been composed by Shelly that focuses on some universal themes like love, liberty,time,nature etc...
This poem highlights the King's ruling.the statue remains forever not with some damage by time with the king of kings Ozymandias has to pass away.
In Ozymandias,Shelly narrates a story of an ancient king of Egypt Ozymandias.the poet says that he met to a traveler who tell a story of statue that is in the desert for many centuries. This is a kind of satire also on egoistic king who believe that they were forever but time defeat them & they becomes statue.

Shelley preferred Democratic nation & did not like monarchy that he intentionally but indirectly mentioned here.

How sleep the brave is an example of the soldier's love & sacrifice for his nation. It shows that a soldier only rest after his death.
It expresses the feelings of nationality.the poet has paid homage to the soldiers who have sacrificed for their motherland. It's a fine & highlighting the glory of the dead soldier.

The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri:-

The Namesake is a heart wrenching story,portraying the strife involved in family,growing up the circle of life & one's identity. The novel opens with the birth Gogal,the protagonist.the reader is given background information pertaining to the lives of Gogol's parents & each character's story is presented from his or her own perspectives. Ashima & Ashoke grew up in Calcutta. They came to America as young adults right after they tide the wedlock which was also right after they met.Ashima in particular had a trying time adjusting to American society.this background information makes the readers more intimate to each of the characters individually. It also assists the reader to better understand the choices each makes throughout the novel & to better comprehend each of their identities.
When one steps into a new land one has a sense of wonder & adventure of the sight & feel of a landscape so distinct from what one has been attuned to,there is also a sense of isolation & fright. It's the poignant anguish of diasporic identity & the sense of alienation that Lahiri harps on in her novel.this feeling of inbetweenness is germinated from the cultural dichotomies faced by the immigrants. This is the one of the chief thematic concerns of The Namesake.
The novel is marked for it's lucid narrative & picturesque descriptions. The flow of language is perfectly in tune with the pace of the storytelling.
One of the most remarkable traits of the novel under discussion is it's craft of convincing characterization. Ashima as a typical, girl-next-door grkm Calcutta. Ashoke as a mature,settled NRI,Gogal as an American born confused Desi,Moushumi as an infield Lady etc.
However an excess of Bengali cultural connotations may baffle non Bengali readers & may consequently mark the charm of reading the novel.

Thank You.

The Heart Of Darkness by Marlowe:-

The novella is above all an exploration of hypocrisy, ambiguity & moral confusion. It explodes the idea of the proverbial choices between the lesser of two evils.
As the idealistic Marlowe is forced to align himself with either the hypocritical & malicious colonial bureaucracy or the openly malevolent, rule defying Kurtz. It becomes increasingly clear that to try to judge either alternative is an act of folly.
How can moral standard or social values be relevant in judging evil..?
Is there such thing as insanity in a world that has already gone insane..?
The number of ridiculous situations Marlowe witnesses act as reflections of the larger issue-
At one station,for instance, he sees a man trying to carry water in a bucket with a larger hole in it.
At the outer station, he watches native laborers blast away at a hill side with no particular goal in mind.
The absurd involves both insignificant silliness & life or death issues often simultaneously.
That the serious & the mundane are treated similarly suggests a profound moral confusion & a tremendous hypocrisy.it is terrifying that Kurtz's homicidal megalomania & a leaky bucket provoke essentially the same reaction from Marlowe.

Thank You.

The Heathen by Jack London:-

The Heathen is a short story which introduces us the life of sailors through Jack London's eyes.it takes readers into a different world of sea,ships,sailors,buyers of pearls & different territories.
It introduced Jack's racist ideas with his experiences.as a sailor,to make a truly humanist tale of two macho sailors who maintains an unbreakable 17 years bond. The story highlights the dangerous at the Pacific ocean very closely.
The story is narrated by first person singular. The narrator comes as a Pearl buyer.on the middle way,the ship faces many hurdles like small pox,a deadly disease which claims many lives in the ship.then a terrible Strom damaged the ship very badly.
The narrator luckily survives himself & with the heathen,Otoo visits other parts of the sea. Otoo becomes like a brother.he makes money in certain business too.on the way, the narrator about to be swallowed by a shark,but Otoo comes in between & saved him.unfortunately he lost his life himself.
In short,the story leads into the world of sea life. It also shows the bond of him with Otoo & lay man's sacrifice for him.

Thank You.

Each & All by R.W.Emerson:-

Each & All is a fine philosophical lyric by Emerson.he comments in the poem that everything surrounding us has a stronger attachment with us.we can't be happy without them.
The speaker doesn't care what his religious based society & government think about him.he doesn't like his strict goal & he doesn't believe anyone around him but they are all two scared to say anything about it. He soon starts to realise it doesn't matter,what matter is the beauty & nature around him.he realises that we can't have just one individual piece of beauty to each is to all.we lose the beauty in ourselves when we got older as long as we appreciate the beauty in our life.we will always happy & satisfied no matter what kind of government we are unsatisfied with or what person issue we have.
As a whole,it was not that individual components had lost their beauty.they were just more beautiful where viewed together as whole.
For example the sparrow is in his nest & sings the song but it doesn't look pleasant because he did not bring home the river & sky.it is separated from surroundings & loses the joy of life.
In short it's an appealing poem.it highlights the bondage between man & nature as well as nature.

Thank You.
