How Literature Shaped Me

How Literature Shaped Me

Hello Reader...........

“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”

Gohil Kailas, I am student of English Literature, studing in M.A. part-2. So far literature is now understood as literature. This I did not know enything about literature.



My literary career is strated coming in to M.A..  My B.A. went to in game. And school time doesn't matter. And yes,
      'બાળપણ જ મારું સાહિત્ય હતું.'

Now, I talk about literature from my childhood. School time tech lot of literature but even childhood is something  different. I come from villiege, so lot of exprience in childhood. House work so many like,
-Going to fill the water
-Fram work.

Literary memory of school time:


Then my 11th and 12 th strands, lot of enjoying. And there is nothing to be learned. And then come big and strong work.

My 12th  finished, then I can't deside that what do you do?. Then brother was said that keep the language subject. So I throught that keep the Gujarati, English.
There were no instruction. Then I had to make a disision. I have keep the maine subject is English,But only I, my all friends was keep the other subject. So I confused but then taken disision.


Then my college start, but it was very sacry in city. I have gone to First time Bhavnagar city. I feel fear, sitting the English Classroom. Nothing can be learned English, so i feel fear and even of city.

In B.A. I don't about Literature. In gujarati learned so lot of literature. But I have participated in sport game, lot of enjoy  in that event. My college is finished, i don't  know.


Then I come in 'Department of English'. There were found lot of instruction all palace. And hetal also said that 'I am student of Literature. I talked about enything matter, she alwyas said....
" We are student of literature".

But our professor was very intelegent in Technology and his hobby. I have not complited his work and i always dull. In literature i have learned lot of.

My metaphor is Mountain. I have lot of  exprience. But I didn't  know half becouse Mountain knowing and enjoying come.

Thanks You.........

Thinking Activity: 'The Da Vinci Code'


  • About Dan Brown:-

Daniel Gerhard Brown is an American author. He was best known for his mystery (2003) thriller novels. His works,.........
-Robert Langdon 
-Angels & Demons
-The Da Vinci Code
-The lost symbol
-Inferno and Origin.
This blog was given by prof. Dilip barad sir. His blog click hear.


Description

1. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti- christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that 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."


2. "Although it is obvious that much of what Brown presented in his novel as absolutely true and accurate is neither of those, some of that material is of course essential to the intrigue, and screenwriter Akiva Golan 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." How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lach?

3. Of you have studies '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 mind?

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

5. What difference do you are 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 Joffe's The Scarlet Letter' or David Yates's 'Harmione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films- and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Tin Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would justify your answer?

6. Do novel/ film lead is into critical (deconstructing) thinking about your religion? Can We think of such conspiracy theory about Hindu religious symbols/ Myths?

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?

8. When We do traditional reading of the novel ' The Da Vinci Code', Ro ret Langdon, Professor of Religious symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and sir Leigh Teabing, a British Historian asantagonist. Who will claim the position of protagonist of We doatheist reading of the novel?

9. Explain Ann Gray's three proposition on 'know ability' with illustrations from the novel ' The Da Vinci Code'.


a.       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'



  • Introduction:-
''The White Tiger'  was written by 'Arvind Adiga'. He was Indo Australian writer, Journalist,and Indian Author. His novel first published in 2008, and won the 40th Man Booker prize in the same year.
  1. How far do you agree with the India represented in the move The White Tiger?.
     'India is democratic country.' The White Tiger, in the globalization, individualism, freedom, social class/ caste.

 2. Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetypes of all stories of ' Rag the Riches'?.

     Yes, I believe that Balram's story is the archetypes of all stories of 'Rag the Riches'. This story is any situation, person rises from poorty and wealthy. Some cases from absolute obscurity to highest of fame, fortune and celebrity sometimes instantly. Comman archetype in literature and popular culture, example of writing ...J.K. Rowling.
 2.Language bears within itself the necessity of  it's own critique, deconstructing criticism aims to show that any text inevitably underlines it's own claims to have a determinate meaning, and licences the reader to produce his own meaning our of it by am activity of semantic ' Freeplay' (Derrida, 1978, in lodge,1988,p. 108) It is possible to do deconstructing reading to The White Tiger? How?

  • Similarities between the novel  TheWhite Tiger and the film  Slumdog millionaire......
1. Narrative structure- wanted poster # KBC show...
