What I think about 'Sense of an Ending'



What I think about 'Sense of an Ending'


The novel ‘Sense of an Ending’ by Julian Barn, it is psychological thriller novel. There is use of the word “Blood Money” is used by Veronica for the money given by Sarah Ford to Tony Webster. Tony was not able to understand why Sarah has given money to him so he asked Veronica. Veronica gives reply “Blood Money”. For Veronica it is blood money. Indirectly she says that you have given money for doing something wrong. Because Tony, in letter suggest Adrian to asked Veronica’s mother. Adrian goes and meets her mother. Sarah Ford gives money to Tony for saying thank to Tony. But Veronica’s relation is died because of her mother’s affair with Adrian. Her life was spoiled that’s why she called it ‘Blood money’. Here another secret is revealed that why Sarah Ford have dairy of Adrian, with her. Tony was confused that why Mrs. Sarah Ford have Adrian’s dairy? Then he understands that Adrian and Mrs. Sarah Ford are the parents of Junior Adrian. That’s why she knows that in their last day Adrian was happy and she have Adrian’s diary.

  The equation Means b =baby or young Adrian, s = Sarah, V= Veronica, a= Adrian.

b = s – v x/+ a1 means, Young Adrian, b is a result of Sarah's relationship with Adrian (x/+) here broken relation of Adrian and Veronica (-). The baby is result of negative relation of Adrian and Mrs. Sarah Ford. 

a2 + v + a1 X s = b?  a2 means Anthony ( Adrian call Tony with his full name Anthony) It says relationship of Tony with Veronica, and her relationship with Adrian. And Adrian and Sarah's relationship multiplies by ‘b’ the birth of baby or young Adrian. Instate of Veronica and Adrian the baby was of Mrs. Sarah Ford and Adrian. Adrian wish that, the baby is from him and Veronica.



It is right that Tony is unreliable narrator. Because it is memory novel and he also says that I can’t remember thing in chronological way. He is unreliable, because ‘He cannot understand things properly’. So, what he narrating it was his understanding of the events, that’s why he is not reliable narrator and we cannot believe in his narration. He himself flossy fields his first narration that, Veronica is suffering from his statement which is written by him in letter. And junior Adrian is child of Veronica and Adrian. First he also says that Adrian suicide is philosophical one. But at the end of novel we found that he himself says that Adrian’s death is not philosophical but he tries to escape from reality.

Da Vinci Code

 Various Interpretations of Da Vinci Code

       Dan Brown says that this book, ‘Da Vinci Code’ is not anti-religious book. He says that it is ‘an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate’. In entire novel we found that there is everything goes with anti-Christianity. Even Sophie Neuve also not believe in all those things and doubting on Christianity. At some part professor Langdon also not believe in Christianity. But at the end of the novel or movie we found that Langdon says that ‘’christ is with me’, it seems like in his entire journey he feels that Jesus is with him, and help him. At some level it is also true, when we think about Sophie as a bloodline of Jesus, then it is possible. She helps Langdon in his journey. Above sentence of Langdon reestablish Christian.

·       From the beginning of the human life we found there is always suppression of women in society, literature as well as in films also. There is objectification of woman in everywhere. From the Bible to paradise lost of Milton and Da Vinci Code, there is sup ration of woman is found in literature also. When we look at portrayal of ‘Ophelia’ in Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, we found that her character is much suppressed. She cannot give appropriate space. There is also some objectification of her in the movie. Elizabeth of Marry Shelley’s Frankenstein also there is suppression of woman as same we found in Ophelia’s character. Eve in paradise lost, Milton and Heater Pryen in Scarlet letter they both have given some argumentative voice they both are stand against society. Hester is stand agents society but she is also out casted from the society. Milton gave some argumentative voice to Eve. In the character of Hermione and Sophie Neuve this both women are modern women. In the film we found that they both have given voice and represent as knowledgeable and intellectual girl. But still at the end of the episode all credit goes to men. In the beginning of the movie ‘Da Vinci Code’ we found that Sophie is shown as powerful and knowledgeable. But when it comes to end power goes to man, man overpowering to woman. No doubt that in the last two movies they also care for famine sacredness. In modern literature women are presented in batter way rather than past literature and movies.     

·       In Hindi movies we also found some similar kind of things related with god and religious. We have film P.K. and O.M.G. those two movies are similar kind of movies which are also controversial because they both represent negative side of god. In the movie O.M.G. we found that protagonist registered case on god. He stared asking question on god. in P.K. movie religious guru use the remote control of p.k. as ‘Ashirvad’ of god. In the both movie we found that indirectly they try to say that, because of fear there is believer of god. There is also fear of god among the mind of god. In movie ‘Life of Pi’ there is also representation of god. Pi Patel also says that he feel god with him during his journey. One similar thing in all movies that in entire movie all protagonists are anti-religious. At the end they all are became believer of god. As same in case of Swamivivekanand that he was very intellectual person and very knowledgeable person, but at last what he do? He also goes with god.

Harry Potter


My View on Harry Potter (book and Film also) 



    
First of all what is children's literature: children’s literature is good quality trade books for children. Harry Potter is children book some people might suggest “children’s book” but it is doubtful that, they are right. Because Harry Potter books are appeal to many children but is children’s books really a genre of literature – apart from preschool fantasy books.
            Perhaps a detective story for children is not as complicated as one for adults but is still a detective story, and it is like that the child who loves such stories will grow into an adult. Who loves such only on a higher level but we cannot classify harry potter primarily as children’s literature book but as fantasy literature.
Harry potter is interesting book and every part is gives moral lesson to us. For example love, family friends and relationship. Children literature is like sweet layer on bitter pill, same children’s literature is for children but deep satire on society. In children’s literature hero is generally in green shade, it means hero is child and immature, innocent, trustworthy and undoubting. And villain is more mature.
When children are watching this movie, they only enjoyed it. But whereas ta mature person watching this movie they started analyzing it, started looking it with different theory. Harry potter is horror books but children lot of enjoy. End of the novel is happy ending, and children’s literature. And it is also a kind of realistic literature, because it deals with the many them like love, death, faith, loyalty, relationship and many other things. There are so many theories which are applied on this book, so it is kind of realistic literature.
·        Feminism deals with the social and political rights and equality of women cultural, economic and social freedom of women. In this book we found that female character have given some voice and power. For example Hermione is more knowledgeable than both other (male) character. One day Ron says that without Hermione they cannot survive, but Ron says to Harry that do not told her about it. It is also anti-feminist view. Harry’ smother is also more powerful than her husband. Even most of the horcruxes are destroyed by male characters, but point is that they are unable to find all those horceuxes without her help. But at last credit goes to man. No doubt that Hermione given some voice but not given appropriate space to her which she deserves. When we look at the end we found that at some level it is anti-feminist book.

·        Here in this novel we found Racism and issue of pure blood. In the last book we found that so many references of muggle blood and half blood and pure blood.Main protagonist are half blood and villain is also half blood. We also compare ‘pure blood’ with ‘white people’, ‘half-blood’ with ‘mulatto’ and ‘muggle’ with ‘black people’. Throughout the reading of this novel we also can says that it doesn’t make any different to your magical power, whether you muggle blood or pure blood. It’s your power and knowledge, for example Hermione is muggle blood but she is more powerful then Ron, who belongs to ‘pure blood family’.

Selected poem of Robert Frost

Selected poem of Robert Frost
·       His subject are universal. He deals with nature, death and also dark side of nature.
1.    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy evening. 
“Woods are lovely dark and deep.” In this poem he talks about beauty of nature. There is one traveler with his horse passing through dark forest. They both stopped near to one tree. At that time traveler think about god. Here we found journey of individual, one have to move ahead. He want to stay there but he gives promises to his own self so, he must go ahead. “Milles to go before I sleep”. It was darkest evening of the year.  He talks about journey of life to death, that traveler have to do so many works in his life before his death.
2.                        Design
Here in this poem poet talks about the design of nature. When we hired the word design we think about something beautiful and lovely design. But here in poem we found that there is design of darkness, darkness of nature. In the poem there is design of three white things, moth, white flower, and white spider. The moth is innocent that it is not aware about the spider hide behind the white flower. The white flower becomes reason of death of moth. Generally white is symbol of smoothing good and this white flower is healing flower, sometimes white is also dangerous.  White flower and black dark night, it shows dark design of nature. There is death of something and nature is responsible for it. Sometimes it happed that, like in Gujarat “Je poshtu te Martu a cram dise kudarati.” In this poem we can says that white spider is savior of white flower.  Through this poem port tries to show darker side of nature.
3.                        Home Burial
In this poem we found that how the death of child was happed and father used to bury his child into the garden. Garden becomes graveyard of the child. Here not only death of child but also death of parents. Here is two words ‘Home’ and ‘Burial’. Home stands for positive things, Loveliness, family and life. Whereas burial stand for negative things, graveyard, death. All opposed to home. After the burial of child mother don’t want to live in this house. As a man father is very practical were as mother is too much sensitive and emotional. Being man her husband order she and she have to obey him. The word “Dear” is use in negative sense. There is nothing like dear but her husband use word dear for her. We found death of relation of mother and father, also death of family.

4.                         Mending Wall
This poem is about two neighbors and their farm. Relation of two neighbors, they believe that “good fancies make good neighbors”. Fancies are good for the relation of other people. There is some gaps in the wall of farm, and surprising to know that both neighbor working on the one wall. But there is no conversation between them. Both are repairing the wall because some rabbits and other small creature are coming and going through this hole. We found that there is season of spring. They both have different kind of trees in their farms, one has pineapple and other have apple. We found that the trees have no any kind boundaries, because they are natural. Nature hasn’t made any kind of boundary, but all this boundaries are made by humans.

5.                        The Gift Outright
This poem is about two nations. The new nation have no any kind of culture, it is stolen by the other nations. America is growing nation it haven’t anything is their Own.  One is growing nation, but it started ruling over the world. Narration of nation is like feminine gender. Land take showed as feminine gender it is muted and also masteries.  Power goes to other people. Small nation become powerful and started ruling over the world.

6.                        Fair and Ice
Here in this poem Frost write about two different words, fire and ice. Fire stands for passion and ice stands for desire. Here poet tries to balance between fire and ice. Sometimes human emotion becomes fire and sometimes ice. In this poem poet uses paradox. Some people says that world will end with fire and some people says that world will end with ice. This both things become reason the fall of human beings.

Need of Temple

 Is Temple need of Society?

In ‘Bharat’ we found that there is religion is gender biased as well as cast bias also. In past time we found that some cast wont allowed entering into temple.  We also found this kind of things happened in Mosques. Yes ‘Bharat’ is patriarchal country; rather we can say that entire world is patriarchal. So, everything is ruled by men. Apart from this we can says that temple create boundary in mind of people. They (temple) create gender distance. Here we found that money and power also plays vital role. When we look at past time there is no entry in temple for some poor people. Yes, we found still in many temples we found that women are not allowed to enter in some arias, like in ‘Shiva temple’, in Swaminarayn temples and Mosques. There are some arias are forbidden for women. Religion and temples are for connecting people, but now we can says, it become toll of depart. “If there is God there is no gender discrimination.” Because God never depart their children, and if God makes different among man and women so, there is no need of So-called God or idea of God. The society says that all men and women are equal, women get right to vote but women are not allowed to enter in temples. What is it? It shows narrowness of ‘Bhartiy Smaj’.  Here I remember one line form George Orwell’s ‘Animal farm’ there is one good line in this novel is “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL.” Same thing in society all are equal bat only men are allowed to enter in Mosque, Shiva temple, Swaminarayana temple, Jain temple, in short all Hindu temples. Women also not allowed doing some kind of warship of god.  
I like these two lines from article.
1)   Before temple people worshiped rocks and river and stars: Kumbh Mela is a classic example of Hindu ritual that does not involve any artificial structure. 
2)   The physical boundaries express psychological boundaries that emerged long ago, before the structures, before gods and goddesses, in the earliest phases of civilization, when humanity emerged out of the animal kingdom and sought meaning.

Bajiraow Mastani

Movie Review of ‘Bajiraow Mastani’

The movie ‘Bajiraow Mastani’ is kind of historical movie; it is based on history of Peshva khandan. It is interesting interview of director of the movie “Bajiraow Mastani”. They try to represent history in movie, so we have to remember that film is also kind of drama. That’s why they have used some dramatic liberties. It is very difficult to convert historical event in movie. Director tries to show past (historical event) in present time, rather we can say in modern way. In this modern time it becomes craze among film industry that making film or T.V. serials from historical events, also historical character. When we think about history it is kind of literature (both are not same), because it also written by man. History talks about only those who are winners. What about other who have lost their life and those who are loser?

       Now a days so many T.V. serials and movies on past, but their way of presenting is modern.  Director tries to connect past and present through this kind of movies and serials. When we talk about history of ‘Jodha Akbra’ there is big different between movie, serial and history. Also in these serials like “Maharana Pratap”, “Veer Shivaji”, in both serials we found that director use dramatic liberty and make more romantic kind of person. Both the characters are brave and fight for their motherland not for India. Same in this movie “Bajiraow Mastani” director make character more romantic; they use some “masala stuff” in movie. Which are demands of people or today’s audience. It is very difficult task, convert historical event in to movie.        

Use of Technology in Education

Use of Technology in Education


In modern education system use of technology is become necessary. Technology is kind of tool for learning and teaching process. With the use of technology teacher makes student active and creative. In class room, teacher teaches with the use of different videos and images related with topic. Because of this student understand the topic in batter way and get proper ideas regarding subject. With the use of technology and internet teacher make some groups and gives group activity to students. Because of this use of technology student developed their technical skills which are very important in 21st century. Even out of classroom student learn with the use of technology. For example if teacher have their blogs related classroom interaction and student also learn from the videos related to topics (if teacher have uploaded it). The old method of teaching is outdated in this technical period. Now a day student becomes smart so teacher have to use technology. Technology is way to reach our destination.
      There is big difference between using technology and integrating technology. Use of technology means teacher use different tool of technology in teaching process. And integrating technology means not only teacher use it but also asks to student to use technology.  Teacher teaches student how to use technology. Use of technology is not integration but use technology for creative thinking and developing our creativity of mind. As for example if teacher use technology in teaching like creating blogs and presentations. Not only creating but share it with students and social media so student can easily learn even they are not in class room. Technology is used solely by individuals working alone. Integration of technology is used to facilitate collaboration in and out of the classroom.
      Whit the use of technology we learn collaboratively and one class become global class. Through technology we one can learn anything. Integration of technology, like in department student have so many tasks like blog task, giving reply of creative mail through Gmail, also have assignment and presentation and many other things. Teacher make online quiz and student give answer online; it develops skill of online exams. It is also true that without presents of teacher some student learn more. Some student expresses their creative ideas through this kind of online discussion. This type of student cannot express their creative ideas in classroom, so they express their creative and critical ideas through blogs and online tasks, it provide platform. In classroom with the use of appropriate images teacher explain, because of this student can understand topic in batter way, it gives visual effect. That’s why student understand it in proper.
