Harmione as courageous and strong character , an integral part of ' The trio ' . Hermione's greatest strength is a vast intellect combined with her magical ability. She portrayed as an emotional character , Harry not means it is boycentric narration here. Sometimes Hermione self- conscious about physical appearance , that can be seen as feminist reading. That women cares for it much not men. She also feel jealous when Ron dating anyone.

Sometimes common patriarchal gender roles have been reversed and Hermione is given the power to take control of the situation, while harry just follows her.

Ans:

Pure blood for Wizards and Witches who have no muggle blood or muggle born They are supremacists, weasly, potter and lang bottoms.
Half-blood for those Wizards and Witches who have magical and muggle ancestors in their family trees.Half-blood inferior to pure blood.The malfoy family, Voldemort and Severus snape belong to it. Harry is himself a Half-blood, his father married to Muggle born Lily.
Muggle is born Malfoy used the term Murdoch to insult Hermione.

Ans:

Fantasy stories are often used to represent a particular reality.
Harry's frustration, desires and loneliness are based on emotions and feelings that are very typical for real people to experience.
Social morality issues such as greed, power, fame, and superiority became one of the dark themes also present in current society. Discriminatioin Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, in school house produces that too in our society and culture.

4) Self-help culture and Harry Potter: How does it stand by an argument that self-help culture serves as a tool of social control: it sooths political unrest . . One blames oneself for not getting better off is society and remains in one's own pursuit of self-invention, blaming oneself for the failure instead of the systems?

From this series, we are able to recognize ourself in that character and understand the struggle, thus may have better understanding our own.
From Harry 's character sense of deciding own Fate Some relationships, friends and siblings very important in life

Prof. Dolores Umbridge declares theoretical education rather than practical Voldemort and his death eaters have the ultimate power and practices on the mudbloods and Muggles.

Thinking Activity: The Sense of an Ending

                         
Thinking Activity "The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes


                                             



1. How do you understand memory and history with reference to your reading of this novel.

The novel speak of the memory and history which has different parameters. The novel constructs about the memory. We keep our memories but we can not rely on that. We construct our memories through our perspective. Memory records about what happened, perhaps it is not recorded as it is. The first part is about 'imperfection of memory'. As Adrian refers to "History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentations." We can say great history to personal memory. Inadequacies of documents can not make the certain history. As in the novel Tony remembers imperfect memory in which he can not think of his deeds. History and memory are very much connected because history is the part of our memories. Tony's own tale of his student days is quite unreliable.

2) How do you understand the concept of suicide with reference to your reading of literature ranging from Renaissance play Hamlet, 20th century Existentialist philosophy and this 21st century novel The Sense of an Ending?

First novelistic suicide pattern merged in nineteenth century. Authors like Ernest Hemingway and Virginia Woolf include theme of suicide in their writing.In Shakespeare 's Hamlet Ophelia committed suicide by some particular reason. But Hamlet was mentally upset man though he does not think to like this.

If we see suicide in 20th century Existentialist philosophy, then we can recall first Waiting for Godot. It is based on Existentialism and Vladimir and Estragon wants to commit suicide but they can not do it. They have not any responsibility in life though they do not do that. They have nothing to live but they can not die also. If we see it as a philosophical way that is when people are not able to maintain that they are most psychotically vulnerable.By the reading of The Sense of An Ending, there are two people commit suicide, Robson and Adrian. Both have different reason but why Adrian committed suicide is not clearly visible. Robson escape from his responsibilities and choose to die. He has fear about lost of his morality and how society will treat him after knowing the reason. But Tony Webster has not done this because he was the reason for the damage of someone's life. While character like Adrian who think that they have enjoyed the life so far the time is coming to die and I have committed suicide.


             Thank you ........

This blog is about my response on online discussion on Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Academy Award for her documentary, "A girl in the River"

online Discussion








Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Academy Award for her documentry, A Girl in the River, has been much celebrated at home. Deservedly so.

           Like her first Oscar-winning documentary, saving face, which spotlit the horror of acid attack, this too is a visceral, urgent piece of film-making. But alongside the jubilation is another view, persistent and petty, that is inevitably voiced at such occasions. Widely shared by politicians, journalists, religious leader, in short 'patriots' of all stripes, this opinion has that that has made a serious disservice to her country by highlighting the misery of ordinary Pakistanis to further her own career. Hence, the twitter trend: DisownSharmeen.

            Why, I asked, 'had Adiga chosen to write about the so many nice, nice things that happen in India? The same critique was also trotted out when Danny Boyle's film, Slumdog Millionaire, won big at the Oscar. or when Malala won the Nobel prize. Or Sharmeen her first Oscar. Really, why can not these people just Photoshop our reality? why can not we hide our flaws and emphasize our virtues so we can respect and admiration of Western societies? many 'concerned citizens' in Pakistan ask why Sharmeen did not make a film about that tireless humanitarian, Edhi, or better still, about the victims of drone strikes, cataloging American injustice, rather than our own.

            Truth wins: The buzz around Sharmeen's film has prompted Nawaz Sharif to say that the practice of honor killings in Pakistan should come to an end.

Cultural Study: - The first duty of any literary writer is to present the contemporary issues and picture of nation. Everyone has the right to voice and freedom of expression. So they are free to portray the condition of their country. But many follower of ideology and political discourse try to banned this kind of harsh reality, because they do not bear the bad images of their culture and country.
We have a recent example of Film Padmavat in which the group of people are banned because they do not like that people see about their culture. Another one is the documentary film "Nirbhaya gang rape" which was banned by the government because they believe that our new generation is spoiled because of the movie.

Post-colonialism:
                       General belief of the people is that writer must write about the glory and positive side of their country, and we believe that western people give awards on our bed images and they happy because they feel happy when they see our poor condition. But this is not right, we have many examples from the western works: Oliver Twist, Sense and Sensibility, The West Land etc.
                 
           These all works portrayed the reality of the society. In 'Oliver Twist', Dickens portrayed the poor law of Victorian Britain that how the cruel law for the poor and orphan children. After the publication of the novel 'Oliver Twist' British government pass the reformation bill and law about child laboring. So, we can say that is not about the people that they feel happy about our poor condition.

             If we want to reform our poor condition, this kind of work is very important to open the eyes of power. I agree with this kind of way to show our reality. because such a work awake people as well as the power to stop this kind superstition and cruel ideology.



                                Thank you.............

Interaction with France Professors: Brief talk on Higher education system

 19,March 2019     





                                


22nd  January,  visited Streisman's University of Lauren University Professor Saeed Pavindi and Professor Fantanini. They visited Maharaja Krishna Kumarasinhji Bhavnagar University. I have briefly visited our Department of English for a short conversation on the higher education system. Chairman of the Department of Economics Kishore Joshi presented the guest.We had a wonderful visit by Professor Saeed Pavindi, Professor of French at Lauren University and Christine Fentanini France. They visited Maharaja Krishna Kumarasinhji Bhavnagar University. For short talks on the Higher Education System, I've visited the English department's small tour. Chairman of the Department of Economics Kishore Joshi introduced the guest.

                           
                           

         

French people based on our study We have studied French history, including French Revolution, French colonists. The common outcome we have found is that there is more violence than peace. But this is not just in the case of France. We can see the same situation in India too. There is a lot of flexibility between India and France. Professor Saeed is not a citizen of France. I came to France to learn French. They lived as their foreigners. They were closely watching the culture of France. I have talked about violence in some French movements and then violence does not provide the right solution for any problem.

Professor Christine's thoughts were against Professor Saeed. Violence in their violence is very common. I have talked about the economic crisis in various categories. Elite people became more prosperous, the poor became poorer and faced more economic crisis in the middle class. This also affects education system.

         
                        




This kind of interaction provides us with authenticity about the particular culture. It was a very knowledgeable and eager session. Both professors spoke freely about the French culture and education system.
I am thankful to Professor Dilip Barad and Professor Kishor Joshi of the Department of Economics for organizing this surprise visit.
                   


                         

Thank you !

Thinking activity - ON @ CC


19,March 2019


1. Comment on Narrative structure of the Novel. Compare it with that of Life of Pi.

One night @ call center is a frame story. It takes place when author on a train journey from Kanpur to Delhi. At that time I have one beautiful girl. After some conversation she tells the story to the author. She also makes a condition that he will write it. When author makes a story I put shyam mehra as the narrator and protagonist. In story representation of God to direct all the characters. So it can be said that entire story is dream sequence of author like God or beautiful lady.


Yan Martel 's' Life of Pi' have same narrative like on @ cc. Same beginning as a story from the person who is also character in the story. First person narration in both the novel. Narration of God and experience with God of characters that are all similar narratives.

2. What do you understand by Self-help book? Is On @ cc is self-help book? Illustrate
Self - Help means self - guided improvement - economically, intellectually or emotionally, often with a substantial psychological basis. A self - help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems.

In starting of the book questions like ..
1. One thing I fear,
2. One thing that makes me angry,
3. One thing that I do not like about myself.
God or Inner call that about intelligence, self - confidence or failure in life. Remember the 'Reverse Gear' and make friendship with adversity.
We have to find solution for problem. In the novel characters finds solutions for thier problems. Thus it is self-help book.

                                                        
3. How can can this novel be categorized as Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a literary genre. It's a subgenre of sci-fi. Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict between hackers, artificial intelligences and mega corporations. It is strong sense of helplessness, misery, dystopic ideals and morality and humanity.

Corporation controls the lives of their workers and resides in microcosms dictated by the status. We find cyber environment in call center. Bakshi controls the employee. Vroom and Shyam blackmails Bakshi and start business. "Bug" idea, family issues of characters, break-ups, lie, morality that also part of it.


4. What is popular Literature? Is On @ cc is popular Literature? Illustrare
  Popular Literature not deals with abstract problem. It takes moral principles as the given accepting certain generalized ideas and values ​​as it's base. It represents common - sense values, does not raise or answer abstract questions. They represent on the whole, an instinctive or traditional, rather than a highly reflective, philosophy of life. In the novel, love and break-ups of the Priyanka and Shyam. Family issues, loss of morality character like Anuj, call of God for solution of problems, philosophy of life, suffering of characters all makes it popular Literature.

5. Does the novel have social realism?
In the Novel, Human relations, love, sex, marriage and sociable characters all represent reality of society. Anxiety and reflection of rising Indian middle class, question about career, marriage, family conflicts and relationships aspirations and problem of young generation all represents social reality. Shyam, Priyanka, Esha and their love, Radhika married, her mother-in-law, military uncle his love for grandsons all things present social realism.

Thank you !

Post-viewing task: The Da Vinci Code

19, March 2019

This blog is a part of my classroom thinking activity given by Professor Dr. Dilip Barad in which students have to interpret given points. Here is the blog link of professor's worksheet click here.


                                                        `Image result for da vinci code

1. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, although he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith."

Dan Brown asserts that his books are not anti-Christian, and it is right because he wants to reveal the facts. He also says that he is on the spiritual journey as he portrays the characters who have faith in the religion. Through the mystery mystery I have unfolds the factual things about the Christianity. If we look deeply then we can find that there is a lot of serious issues on which Brown throws light. In a way he is trying to awaken the people from the blind faith. there are several occurrence which shows that our hero has faith on the Christianity and also he has not wanted to break it. We can say that Robert Langdon's journey as a pilgrimage. The search for the Spiritual Truth. Brown is just using the historical fact with his imagined story.

2. Although it is obvious that much of what Brown presented in his novel is absolutely true and accurate is neither of those, some of that material is of course essential to the intrigue, and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has retained the novel's core, the Grail- related material: the sacred feminine, Mary Magdalene's marriage, the Priory of Sion, certain aspects of Leonardo's art, and so on [1]. "How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lacy?

Yes, the observation of Norris Lacy is true. We can say Akiva Goldsman has conserved the story line and it is much like novel. The grail related material, define aspects of Leonardo's art and many things. The screen writer is successful to keep the core content through the use of all the symbols and secrets about the novel. We can find the scenes in Louvre museum so it is much realistic. Dan Brown's best materials for the novel is taken from the book 'The holy blood and the holy grail'. The idea of ​​feminine sacredness is much live as Sophie Nevue leads to Robert Langton.

3. You have studied 'Genesis' (The Bible), 'The Paradise Lost' (John Milton) and 'The Da Vinci Code' (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative / s seem / s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind?

The narrative of the da Vinci code is more convincing because its time to doubt and not believing in what is written and said. Milton's The Paradise Lost is a story of god, punishment So it is people in fear while The Da Vinci code tries to prove Jesus as man in logical way. So Da Vinci code is more convincing in this era.

4. What harm has been done to humanity by the biblical narration or that of Milton's in The Paradise Lose? What sort of damage does narrative like 'The Vinci Code' do to humanity?

 Milton displays woman as downfall of man and in many narrator there is woman who is the reason of downfall of man. In The Da Vinci code society and people were not free. Even artists also had to paint and draw what church want. Lots of people have been killing for religion. The Da Vinci code tries to deconstruct Jesus as God with the help of myths. In the novel there is description of how millions of women were killed for killing of Marie Magdalene. This work can be harm in that way. In the end it proves that heir of Jesus is living. So for protection of power again church can do same thing.

5. What difference do you see in the portrayal of 'Ophelia' (Kate Winslet) in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, 'Elizabeth' (Helena Bonham Carter) in Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or 'Hester Prynne' (Demi Moore) in Roland Joffé's The Scarlet Letter 'or David Yates' Harmione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films - and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would you justify your answer?

 The portrayal of the character its makes difference, and the perspectives towards the author or film maker is different for us, Kenneth Branagh sexually objected Kate Winset by taking liberty with Ophelia's portrayal and showed her nude which we do not find in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ron maintained sacredness in Sophie's portrayal in movie and thus, even if Dan's Sophie is kissed on lips, I have not show those scenes in movie. Kenneth Branagh in Frankenstein also, takes liberty with portrayal of Elizabeth on screen, whereas Ron Howard, remained faithful to the central theme of feminine sacredness in Sophie's portrayal.

 6. Do novel / film lead us into critical (deconstructive) thinking about your religion? Can we think of such a conspiracy theory about Hindu religious symbols / myths?

Yes, these kinds of novel and film leads us into critical thinking. We can find the stone about religious theory, there is no proof about the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene as they are husband and wife. Chapel do not have code about Mary but it's deade and the picture of music. As it is in Hindu religion also some ideas about religion which needs to critical thinking. The Ramayana is a myth so it raises the question that is current or just myth to keep everyone's faith in the religion.

7. Have you come across any similar book / movie, which tries to deconstruct accepted notions about Hindu religion or culture and by dismantling it, attempts to reconstruct another possible interpretation of truth?

Yes, we can find in films like 'OMG' and 'PK', which deconstructs the idea of ​​God and the existence of God.

8. When we do traditional reading of the novel 'The Da Vinci Code', Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and Sir Leigh Teabing, to British Historian as antagonist. Who will claim the position of protagonist if we do atheist reading of the novel?

In the case of certain actions we can say Sir Leigh Teabing's character is more powerful than Robert Langton. Leigh Teabing has a certain depth and he is an intellectual. He plans everything to reveal the truth behind it rather than for the sake of money.

9. Explain Ann Gray's three propositions on 'knowability' with illustrations from the novel 'The Da Vinci Code'.

to. 1) Identifying what is knowable
        b. 2) Identifying and acknowledging the relationship of the knower and the known
        c. 3) What is the procedure for 'knowing'?

Thinking Activity on The White Tiger

Thinking Activity on The White Tiger

About novel:
The White Tiger is the debut novel by Indian author Arvind Adiga. It was first published in 2008 and won the 40th Man Booker Prize in the same year. The novel provides a darkly humorous perspective of India's class struggle in a globalized world as told through a retrospective narration from Balram Halwai, a village boy. In detailing Balram's journey first to Delhi, where he works as a chauffeur to a rich landlord, and then to Bangalore, the place to which he flees after killing his master and stealing his money, the novel examines issues of religion, caste, loyalty, corruption and poverty in India.Ultimately, Balram transcends his sweet-maker caste and becomes a successful entrepreneur, establishing his own taxi service. In a nation proudly shedding a history of poverty and underdevelopment, he represents, as he himself says, "tomorrow."




                                 Image result for the white tiger             



       How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?

             The India which is represented by Adiga is poor, corrupt, uneducated and cheater also.Well I do not agree that not only India but all countries in the world have these bad kinds of problems in it.Adiga represented the darker side of India.This Novel was written in 2008, after that India has progressed in many ways.But then we can not deny that poverty, corruption and illiteracy are vanished from India.But we can say that, India is not only what is represented by Adiga. There is also bright side of India.In bright side of India.In bright side of India many peoples are educated, rich and honest also.


Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'?

                      We can see that the stories that portray the poor as central character at the end of the story the poor becomes rich.We can see many people who are like Balram.Same like who belongs to poor and wide family, who did not get education properly , who goes to work from early childhood.These types of stories show the struggle of poor to achieve their dream and for that becoming rich.So this way we can say that Balram's story is archetype of all stories of "Rags to Riches".


"Language bears within itself the necessity of its own critique, deconstructive criticism aims to show that any text inevitably undermines its own claims to have a determinate meaning, and licenses the reader to produce its own meanings out of it by an activity of semantic 'freeplay (Derrida, 1978, in Lodge, 1988, p.108) Is it possible to deconstructive reading of The White Tiger?

                        Yes, it is possible to deconstruct "The White Tiger". We can deconstruct it with the help of Derrida's concept of free play of meanings. To break the language. We need to find the loose stone of it.The loose stone of "The White Tiger" is that Balram himself says that he is "Half-backed" .This word breaks all the philosophy and all the ideals which Balram is presenting by giving his own example. Because he is not fully educated. I have understood things which his limited power of analysis. I have appropriate the deep philosophies with his shallow ideas and thinking. So this way we can deconstruct "The White Tiger".


Thank you !


Thinking Activity :The White Tiger and Slumdog Millionaire

19, march 2019


Image result for slumdog millionaire
     


1) Narrative structure:

    The Novel and the film has almost similar structure. Both works starts with flashback techniques. In the film used one reality show KBC in which question and answer session going on. All the questions leads Jamal into his past. While in the novel wanted poster used. By using this poster writer talking about his past.The narrative structure was first person narrative.


2) Indianness:

Train:

            Train is also found in both the works. It shows the Indianness in the work.It is a symbol of poverty and crowd.Train shows middle class position.

Curruption:

              Curruption can be found in both works. In the novel talking about Currupt nature of entrepreneur's drivers. In the film shows Currupt nature of Jamal 's brother. He was getting more money from tourist.Anchor of KBC show do cheating by telling answer to Jamal.Nowadays Curruption also part of India.This way we see Indianness in these works.

 Religion :

       Religion is also important element of Novel and film. In the novel described the darker side of religion.And in the film we had seen Hindu Muslim riot which creates problem in the Area, criticism of 'Darshan do Ghanshyam' song. This way people use Religion.Indian people blindly believe in religion that we see in both the works.

Education system:

              Both the protagonist Jamal (Film) and Balaram (Novel) are uneducated. In the novel shows darker and Currupt side of education system. It shows the darker side of India. Jamal could not able to study.

Poverty:

               In the film shows the largest slum area of ​​Asia Dharavi which located in India. Both the works based on the life of poor peoples struggle. Both works criticized poverty as the darker side of India.Both protagonists believes that if you want to become rich you must do wrong things.

3) List of the questions asked in the film 'Slumdog Millionaire'



1. Who was the star in the 1973 hit film "Zanzeer"
2. A picture of three lions is seen in the national emblem of India. What is written underneath?
3. In depiction of God Rama, he is famously holding what in his right hand?
4. The song "Darshan Do Ghanshyam" was written by which famous Indian poet?
5. On the American One Hundred Dollar Bill, there is a portrait of which American Statesman?
6. Who invented the revolver?
7. Cambridge Circus is in which UK City?
8. Which cricket has scored the most first class centuries in history?
9. In Alexander Dumas' book, "The Three Musketeers", two of the musketeers are called Athos and Porthos. What was the name of the third Musketeer?
    

            All these questions and their answers are connected with the life of Jamal.With the help of these questions-answer we get knowlege about Jamal's brain power.He connected all the questions with his life amd get answered.After these questions I also want to add questions about trains because Jamal spend a lot of time surrounded by train.

4) Deconstruction of film from post colonial perspective.

                "The Slumdog Millionaire" can be seen from post colonial perspective. This film was directed by English director Danny Boyle. In the film white people portrayed as good and gentle fellow. In India many foreigners came to visit the famous places of India. In the scene of the film when the foreign people came to visit Taj Mahal. At that time Salim charged more money from them, some thief stolen the car parts of foreigners and sold it. At that time Jamal was suspected to responsible for this crime. He was beaten by one Indian and foreigners shows mercy upon him and gave him some money.

               So by this director portrayed white people as good, civilized sofisticated and humble people. While on the other hand Indian portrayed as Poor, dirty, uncivilized, corrupt, uneducated people. The term it self based on the power dynamics. It shows the superiority of white on the Indian people.

              Even after many years of Independence we still have slaves of white people not physically but mentally. We always like British and do whatever they want. So this way today also we are not independent.

             In movie one scene was on V.T. Station, and also director use perticular pillar. On that pillar one Britishers name .This is highly problematic for Indians.Because V.T. Station also made by some Britishers.

5) Compare with Texture and Treatment of subject content in film and novel.

                   The novel and the Film based on darker side of India. The texture of the film and novel little differs from each other. In the novel the protegonist Balaram as a currupt person. He has seen the example of the darker side of india while in the film Jamal was very good person, he never did any wrong thing in his life. It shows all the negative side of India and Indian people.

             In the novel poetic justice not happened by punishing the Balram. I have murdered his master yet not caught by police. While in the film poetic justice happened when Salim committed suicide at the end and Jamal became popular and rich. Both the work differs from each other on the Bases of treatment given to wrong people.
