Response on The Sense Of Ending:-

For Sarah it means because of Tony she got handsome young boy who in love with her and that’s why she sent money to him which is blood money for Veronica. She may felt guilty of Adrian’s suicide and she wants to blame Tony or wants to regret for that and so she sent him.  Veronica thinks that because of Tony Adrian would have relation with her mother. If Tony had not sent letter to Adrian or informed him that if you are not believe in me than ask her own mother who will inform you. And Adrian may go to ask her and since there their relation would have started and she became pregnant and that’s why intellectual Adrian had suicide. It means Tony played feelings of people and which lead to the destruction of some character’s life like Veronica, Sarah, baby, Adrian so it is blood money.

Earlier Adrian had good relation with Veronica. But once time he wrote letter to Tony about their (Veronica and Adrian) relationship. It is the wish of Veronica that he should writes letter to Tony. But it is the fault of them. Tony feels jealous of their relation wrote one letter to Adrian about Mrs. Sarah Ford. It is the loose stone of this novel and because of this Adrian meets Sarah and then all things started. But then Adrian feels shame because it is not the healthy relationship and he commits suicide.

Tony is unreliable narrator but it doesn’t mean the story is fake or without intellectuality. He explain the thing at the age 60 than how can possible for an old man to remember or recall his younger days as usual. He tries to connect the dot with his new ideas which he has experienced. I think Tony is classified as Unreliable Narrator because he remembers such things which had happen with him and at the end that all cleared by himself so.

Thank You.

How Literature Shapes Me...?

What Is Literature..?
Why We Studying It..?
What Is The Purpose Behind Studying It..?
Such & many more like these questions always raises in our mind & especially when we are from the same field then it will matters more. To define Literature we should have that much type of understanding & depth then even we can just be able to get the glimpse of that which itself can't be enough to understand the significance of it.
Literature according to me,
From my Graduation if i tries to observe Literature then to be frank i would say that there is no deep or serious concern in my mind releted to Literature as i was not more deep in it. Apart from general concept i never during my Graduation tried to go beyond where contextual reading or resources are necessary along with that & after that when I joined my Master Degree & the change i feels is matters for me in real sense where actual means of Literature comes before me.
As a student of Literature & specially when I am interesting to practice of writing Poetry,i become too glad & surprise to see the importance of Literature in comparison to my understanding of that before joined Master Degree.
Literature Can Creates New Things.it signs that it can give us scope to be creative. Reading Text & judging it should not be our aim of dealing with this but to think from that only & makes something new for us is remain fruitful. Literature gives directions to open up our horizon & build something on that base to make ourselves developed & personally i would say that i only can starts my journey of practicing poetry when i starts to think with some significance for that.
Multiple ways of looking towards particular thing is in the center here which itself suggests to see & observe any thing with different sights.if we try to see with the concerns of language learning through this then also we can say that development of vocabulary, grip on grammar items & increasing the level of exact pronunciations can be possible here.it breaks our narrowness in general sense even which points out the factor of reality based Literature reading & provides us the knowledge of actual world & situations related to this.
In short, i would say by my personal experience that Literature has power to make men creative or at least think something on that direction & such creativity leads to critical thinking that actually Literature conduct to serve.

Read Literature, Think Literature & Create Literature.

Thank You.

Interpretation on Harry Potter:-

Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling has various interpretations to discuss.being a novel of children literature as well as having elements of magical power along with imaginative descriptions it has scope to judge & illustrate with different angels.here i am sharing some of them in brief:-

1)As a Children Novel:-
Though it has serious tone in center to highlight the fight between Harry & Voldemort yet it has at some point light narration of magical elements. Through these aspects Rowling can depicted the image of children world along with the central attention of struggle of Harry. It's imaginative concerns shows that how Rowling can presents two sided images together intentionally to give touch of relief to reader as well.

2)Feminist reading of the novel:-
Along with the fight of Harry & Voldemort Rowling very well gives space to the female identity. Harry's mother who sacrificed her life to give safety to the life of her son, Harry & on the other side Harry's female friend's support to be with him throughout the struggle & by using her genius mind she can be there as a true partner to solve the queries against Voldemort.here we can see the significance of female personalities in between the central part narrative technique.

3)Power & politics in Harry Potter:-
Voldemort's reaction for the Others can support my argument to show the element of power & politics. His treat for the Hogwarts school's children & harsh reaction towards kind pupils itself shows it well. The condition that they have to face is a sign of cruel mindset or mean mentality of Voldemort to be immortal or powerful by intention.in short it shows the suppressed condition of poor, powerless people who remains unworthy before such power politics.

Thank You.

Differentiate Truth & Post Truth

Respected Sir,
Here is my response of above mentioned task:-
First i would start with differentiate Truth & Post Truth:-Truth stands for facts & reality while Post Truth stands for incredible yet accepted truth.
Mainly post truth works in political parties where such artificial truths are uses to deal with each other.no doubt except that also there are some fields or in our rutine also we practices it but mostly it's can see in politics.sometimes values or rules are applied forcefully on us or sometimes it's depend upon us too to follow but it's ultimately has no life to move furthur with some good impacts & actully it's decrese the charm or significance of real truth.
Truth is general while post truth deals accordingly.for example:-In politics we can see that how one party behaves with another & how it's all come into existance that matters behind all.now a days except BJP there are no such significance of another political leaders that shows that how our ways of thinking,post truth works there.our mindset that constructs accordingly that except this no any party give us bright future & though present one has also weaknesses yet it's hide behind our thinking on others & today remaining parties are also becomes less active & conscious about us & ruling one can easily gets benefits of that.it's only happen due to our prejudice or constructed mindset towards that & under such artificial truths we have to come across some hardships too because after all it's against truth.
Thank You.

Post-truth: The Word of the Year 2016

Intercultural Communication by Claire Kramsch

Hello Everyone,
Here is my interpretation on the research work by Claire Kramsch on Intercultural Communication:-
Introduction:-
Intercultural or Cross cultural communication is an interdisciplinary field of research that studies how people understand each other across group boundaries of various sorts.
Background:-
The term intercultural communication became prominent in TESOL only in 1980s,as the necessary supplement to communicative language teaching that first developed in Europe in the early 1970s.
Hall gave rise to simulation games,studies of critical incidents where miscommunication occurred.the field of intercultural communication grew out of the practical, competitive needs of the post second World War.in Europe it was a direct outcome of the social & political upheavals created by the large scale immigration into the industrialized countries.
The major facets of human interaction that intercultural communication has helped to define are:-
The situation of communication itself
The stereotypes they entertain of each other
Their non verbal & para verbal behaviour
The way they save their own & each other's face
The way they structure their discourse to meet their communicative goals
The attitudes,values & beliefs they share with others
The way their language reflects deeper discourses
The way members of various group realise different speech acts
Research:-
There was major concerns in it to help FSI(foreign services institutions) officers to interact with people in the foreign countries to which they were dispatched.
Hall's concept of High context communication was there.
Many intercultural researchers were influenced by work in cross cultural psychology. (Segall:1979)
Linguistics entered the field with Kaplan's (1966) contrastive study of the various rhetorical patterns found in the writing of ESL learners.
The Scollon focus on the professional discourse between Americans & East Asian.
Intercultural communication moves into a critical examination systems of thought.
Practice:-
English teachers aware of the cultural dimension of language as social interaction.
One has to know how to say,what to,whom to,at the right time in the right place along with grammar.
Teaching intercultural communication in a TESOL class has been pretty much a one way street.
Current & future trends & directions:-
Intercultural communication in the US has traditionally been a relatively apolitical field of research, grounded primarily in psychology & the behavioral sciences.
The rise of cultural studies & critical pedagogy has brought issues of conflict, power & control within the scope of intercultural communication as a field of reason.
Intercultural communication will have to deal with shifting identities & cross cultural nnetworks rather than with autonomous individuals located in the stable & homogeneous national cultures.
For the English teacher, new directions include looking at the social & historical conditions of teaching intercultural communication through English.
Thank You.

Existentialism: Video Resources

Respected Sir,
Here below is my interpretation on above mentioned videos & my preference on one out of all & also something about some special benefits that I gain after practicing Flipped Learning:-
Video 1:-
Existentialism:-It mainly popular among young generation where some emotions are easily & highly comes in light. Basically it concerns with individual than community.Our choices makes us individual. Our belief & desires gives us identity as individual.
Video 2:-
The myth of Sisyphus:-Our thinking is the base of every situation from where Absurdity started in life.It talks on lack of profound or prolific reason of living & it turns to an individual act may be Suicide. Reference from movie Stay also has such same ideas.(An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art.)
Video 3:-
Philosophical Suicide:-Absurdity is not in man nor in the world but it's in the both's presence.if there is no Human Being then there is no desire then there is no satisfaction & ultimately then there is no philosophical Suicide. Before facing any problems one should know possible challenge as well as solution instead of facing it directly.Religion believes that there is some reason beyond all but in actual sense there is nothing reasons are useless.
Video 4:-
Dadaism & Existentialism:-It focus on becoming free from everything. A quest for change matters here.it's not content any values & if any then it will definitely against of existed values itself. One should not follow the values that exists by other. Question values rather than create it. Being an odd movement it concerns with making own rules as well.
Video 5:-
Existentialism & Gloomy Philosophy:-Our notions like anxity,despair & absurdity forces to argue on solution of life.Believing in God or truth that is true to us or being absurd has the support of our own judgement. After all we as a human being judge every values & meaning of life.individual doesn't mean you are divert yourself. Existentialism responds emptiness of absurdity & despair.after world war life filled with despair & it becomes meaningless there Die or think on who you are is remains question.
Video 6:-
Existentialism & Nihilism:-These both are differ from each other.it's against that leads far us from living life fashionably & appreciated.against actually from Christianity.the notion of a beyond is the death of life itself. Existentialism is opposed to Nihilism. After existentialism's thinking Nihilism comes. Path of seeing may be the same but way of thinking differs.
Video 7:-
Existentialism:-Gabriel Marcel started to work on it. We individual are responsible for creating meaning in our life.ultimately we all are living in chaotic & meaningless universe. Father of existentialism Kierkegaard talks on the crises of human existence.our desires can filled by chance & faith & believing in existentialism emphasis on it.
Video 8:-
Introduction to Existentialism:-What existentialism is not..? It's not a philosophical system.it best viewed as a movement.it concerns with life that Human beings are living.it rejects the system which proposes to have definitive answers to the question of meaning & purpose in life.it's not purely divine perspective for human but it's a perspective of human being.
Existence proceeds Essence:-Like Aristotle every substance or things has as essence.acting in full accordance with reason has essence of human nature.those who see humans as being designed by a God also hold that our essence proceeds existence.
Existentialism vs Nihilism:-In existentialism one can create their own personal or subjective meaning while in Nihilism there is no personal or subjective meaning.overcoming Nihilism does not depict on individual but to create meaning, values & purpose for one's self.
Video 9:-
Existentialism & Friedrich Nietzsche:-We can make our own rules.making of rules is basically highlighted here.Ubermenschen Superhero of Nietzsche serves our wills & desires.individual is remains in the center.
After watching all videos i would like to give my preference to two videos out of them.
Very first video gives brief but yet helpful ideas of Existentialism.as it has no value except our wills.life has no meaning until it can't lived. Feedbacks of lived once signifies here.
Choice-Freedom-Responsibilty=Individual.
Existentialism comes as Optimistic.
Video 4 has also according to me some glimpse that can clear the ideas between two term such as Dadaism & Existentialism.Existentialism emerged after world war 2 & it can be compared with Dadaism movement.itmainly question the exists values & does not follow it.instead of following values of others one should think to make their own.
At last i would say something about the way of learning through such impressive as well as suggestive teaching process.Flipped Learning is an experimental key to learn.To organize & present content may be simple but it will be more prominent that can inspire to focus on particular content deeply. Flipped Learning is the best specimen to practice here.instead of traditional teaching here something new is attempting that's call Flipped Learning.
Through group discussion & interaction we may not be attentive while learning but individually if we try to learn it will be beneficial to us as it has creativity in subject matters.if i talk about present task then i would say that after practicing such flipped learning i can be enough clear for the concept of Existentialism & how some particular terms can also be compared with it.with some more clarification & easy way i can unfederated the concept after being a part of Flipped Classroom Learning.
Thank You.

'Waiting For Godot':-

Respected Sir,Here is my interpretation on the movie screening of 'Waiting For Godot':-
1)A country road, Tree & Evening (Setting):-Samuel Blackett's the present play 'Waiting for Godot' intentionally focus on the setting part where country road,tree & evening are symbolizes well.painting 'Longing' has such significance to present here something. With some slight changes it can pounder on the past incidents too where World War 2 is images deliberately or indirectly can see through garbage or unconstructed things.evening falls by rising of moon even signifies the hope of Godot's coming & tree has equal significance to depicts something there.
2)Importance of Tree:-With the two sides of perspective it can be pointed out. First positive side, where barren tree of very initial act become growing in the second one that may shows the sign of Godot's coming, it may be the sign of hope.another side if we try to see then it has no such connection at all.as it's can considered natural rule of the nature & it has nothing beyond there too.another interpretation of some newly growing leaves can be as the sign of better condition of human beings after time passes though they are victimized from War.
3)Coming of night & moon:-Here fall of evening & rise of moon clearly signs towards the darkness of life.in both the act this scene is depicted & it pointed out somehow the end of both the character.after meaningless waiting they ultimately goes nearer to the end. Sunset itself shows the ending of light & beginning of darkness.
4)Debris in the setting:-Unconstructed properties that we can find spreads there is a sign of World War 2 where such damage was happen & from there may be it can try to connect with the barrenness of Vladimir & Estragon that they have in their life & to be free from that may be they are in wait for the Godot.
5)'Nothing to be done':-Nothingness is the central idea of the play where characters are immensely waiting for Godot but in actual sense it's quite worthless.no means of their end(purpose),it's endless as well as hopeless.throughout the play,they communicate & act with some pause but it's all seems meaningless at the end where we come to know that ultimate waiting is worthless.it has nothing to filled & they still waiting is the sign of nothingness itself.
6)'Waiting for Godot' as a positive play:-Life goes on,no matter what we are gaining or losing.same here,in this play we can see that nothing happens,nobody comes,nobody seen yet Vladimir & Estragon have some hope for Godot that one day Godot will come.even with some Bibical refrence of 'One Day' shows the positive side of the play where hope remains till the end & they continuos it through waiting only.even suicide they don't do & by "Let's Go" the play ends that shows the desire to fight till the end by waiting for Godot.
7)Props(Hat & Boots):-Beginning of the play by this two props shows the connection between the intention of the writer & message that it passes.Hat on the head shows the intelactuality of the person & Boots shows the physical power that they have yet it at some point question the mentality as well as physical strength when they react uncertainly & changing Hat may signs it well,another is when pain on the leg they feel it shows the suffer of life.
8)Lucky's irritating behaviour:-Sometimes we can get chance to be free from some constructions yet we can't grab the opportunities bacause we are habituated with that construction of mind already,it can't permit us to think beyond.Lucky knows well that his master has no power to see anything yet he don't go away from him & serving him as before that question the real meaning of freedom which such character misinterpretes that by serving masters they get enjoynment & do not think for self even.this can call stupidity than loyalty that question why they can't think to get rid of & it matters here.
9)Who is Godot..?:-Godot as God:-Ending of suffer can connect it,that can be possible by God only.no significance of human being remains or matters there.Godot as Desire,Ambition or Goal:-Waiting till the end shows the crave to reach towards the final destination that is goal to see & meet Godot,to be free from problems & having good life many desired there it in a means of Godot.Godot as Death:-It shows the ultimate journey of the life where waiting may end & itself turns with the sign of death.Moon supports this idea well in it.
10)Waiting as the subject of the play instead of Godot:-Changing hat,wearing boots,doing exersice,glimpse on nature,tries to hang out & such other uncertain & at some point funny activities repeatedly doing by the character that is all about waiting,passing the time to see & meet the Godot.no doubt they waiting for godot but their waiting itself lasts till the end & even may continuos & it shows the attraction as well as crave for Godot ultimately that is the person who is completely unknown to them yet immense wait of their matters a lot here.from there it can highlighted there the ultimate destination of them for Godot.direction matters than the destination.
11)Can such plays can be read than viewed:-Definately,it can be read better than viewed.such plays have some limitations in the matter of dialogues & setting where being a audience we wants or requires some space to think deeply at a time or some connection with the space we wants to get actually accordingly.but with some drawbacks of such plays in the sense of audio visuality we can see that how much misinterpretation or irritation we may suffer there.so it can't fill the requirements of us & that's why seems something absence there to connect exactly.
12)Sequence of the play that i likes the most:-Vladimir-Estragon killing time in question & conversation while waiting:-It mainly focus on the actuality of life where communication matters a lot to continue as well as moves the life ahead & conversation between they both has such significance to display where how we are looking actually in the form of them & whatever they acts is also similar to us that we regularly feels throughout the life. Though they are waiting meaninglessly can represents us.by their talk & walk towards the path of Godot by killing time how we purchases moments can also read here yet we are used to.
13)Meaninglessness of human existence in the irrational & indifference universe:-If we come to know that whatever we suffer,whatever we struggle turns to meaningless act then what happens to us..?can't we think to modify it..?no,may be it's not in our hand to control. That's why repentance of both the character can shows there.delay of Godot they considered & connect with the punishment of God & it ultimately shows the meaninglessness of their waiting similarly we are also have thinking to possess. Instead of enjoining the movements we mostly waste it by doing & passing time in stupid things that has no actual life ever to carry further so present has such significant role than the ultimate destination.
14)Idea of Hanging:Hanging may be the way of solution to get rid from suffer & problems but it's never can give justice to us & same way Vladimir & Estragon think on it & they postponed the idea of hanging themselves & it's shows the hidden fear of God.rather praying or serving why we fearing from the God that may question here.afraid from the God instead of loving him.yet it shows the challenge to be live not die.
15)Political reading of the play:-Master-Slave relationship & selection of names can be read with the political angle. When Irishman make fun of Englishman by pronouncing the word 'Clam' may also pointed here with the same context. Yet to convey history & relate further community with it one should have wider vision to carry but Pozzo's blindness may drop it at some point. I think on the other hand Vladimir & Estragon many a time in between tries to pounder on the past that shows it diffrently.(Scene of saving Estragon by Vladimir during the incident of falling into the river.)
16)Beckett meant Pozzo to be Englishman & Lucky to be Irishman:-Being a writer one can use his personal refrences & reaction through the work to pointed something new & same here Samuel Beckett also tries to depict the idea of Irishman & Englishman.it can be read as the mentality of the writer towards such community.where one suffer under the rules of powerman & it brings through Pozzo & Lucky.fun on Englishman & satire through some scene can be read with the intension of the writer here.


Thank You.
