Thinking activity: how teacher and student should be?

Here is the thinking activity which was given jn tge class.
As the my review,

How a Student should be ?

The Basics of Being a Good Student:

• Prioritize your life: Doing well in school should be your top priority.
• Study: There is no substitute.
• Always attend class.
• Do all of the homework and assigned reading.
• Develop self-discipline.
• Manage your time.

The basics being teacher are: 

•  Interacts with the child (physically, and mentally)
  
• gives affection to the pupils, makes them understand what emotion is.
• smiles to his/her pupils even when they screw him up.
• teaches not only text book materials but also The truth that's happening outside. Practice balanced with theory
• dedicates him/herself to the job. They made a commitment. Then they have to do it.
• understands that a child is not only a tiny bundle of joy that can cry, smile, laugh. He/she must understand that in front of him stands a true miracle of life.

Oneness of literature

Online Activity and debate:-

Marie feels nostalgic about childhood/adolescence experience of going in the mountains over the sled. Can you read this as not merely childhood freedom from worldly preoccupations and give interpretation of the first lover or infatuation or attraction which is on the verge of lustful relation?

Answer:
Here as my interpretation marie's feelings of nostalgic about childhood or adolescence experience is give two face of the literature. The first lover or infatuation or attraction is lustful. As an example of a film "lust stories". There is five stories in the movie which shows lustness in ghe relationship. The age group and religion roles very eminentaly. How the human attracts and fall with the flow of the emotions.

·        Do you see any connection in these lines with overall theme of the poem which is 'sexual perversion' which is the result of all waste landers burning with lustful fire?
Answer:
The main theme of the t.s eliot's poem shows that human are conflicted with mind and heart. How the wish of sexuality is role in the life.

·        Any other possible interpretation?

* Translation Studies: You can also observe if the translation is done appropriately or not? Can you suggest a better translation of a word or sentence or expression or sayings / maxims?

Answer:

"A joke" by Anton Chekhov is translated in Gujrati language. It is published in the Gujrat Samachar Newspaper. The title of this story is " Nankdi Majak". Because it translated into Gujrati. This story has lost its charm. Also in the Gujrati story few lines are not translated. So the translation of any work lost its  original  charm after translation. The same thing happens here.  writer has not translated well also  the few words lost their charm after the  translation. 

Robert frost's "design"

"Design" poem by Robert Frost:

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white, 

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth-- 

Assorted characters of death and blight Mixed ready to begin the morning right, 

Like the ingredients of a witches' broth--
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth, And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all? 

What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?-- 

If design govern in a thing so small.

Comparison:

Here we can see that how our thoughts are always being unreal. In poem there is the reality and truthness of life, struggles, symbols ,fall of life and death. The symbol of beauty is whiteness but here we can see how the white colour seems very dangerous or very frightful. The natural cyvle of life and death is there. Robert frost gives the example of the whiteness thretens the life. In the poem a white heel-all plant is the place  and white spider and the white moth. Here the natural things are shown in one colour white. In the reality there are no white plant,spider or moth. How the spider kills moth very pridictively. Moth dies slowly with so many struggles. Here is the idea of witches. Its symbolise the death or villain element. Horror image and black magic and all. Spider as a witch and broth as a dead moth.

Other example of whiteness,witch and war between truth and lie are:

1) Harry Potter- lord woldmott as a element of witch
2) Narnina- white witch as a villain

At the end Robert Frost brought some questions.
Is it real all things or not?
If yes then why?
The difference between reality and fakeness are here.
The design of the nature is natural or artificial this the question.

Classroom activity:

As per our classroom activity we have done drawing of nature. This is the example where we can see that the real natural designs are brought or not. The two faces of natural cycle are life and death. So in our mind we only want to stay with life not with death. In the drawing we can see that we are not ready to accept the reality. Beacause we don't want to see death. The design of the drawing is also the question.

T.S Eliot :Waste Land -Thinking activity

Task:

1) What are your views on the following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise?

T.S. Eliot and F. Nietzche

2) Prior to the speech, Gustaf Hellström of the Swedish Academy made these remarks:

T.S. Eliot and S. Freud

What are your views regarding these comments? Is it true that giving free vent to the repressed 'primitive instinct' lead us to happy and satisfied life? or do you agree with Eliot's view that 'salvation of man lies in the preservation of the cultural tradition'?

3) Write about allusions to the Indian thoughts in 'The Waste Land'. (Where, How and Why are the Indian thoughts referred?)

Here is my answer:

As we study T.S.Eliot as critics. He express consciously his personal experience in this poem.
1. In first question I agree with both of them and in 'The Waste Land' in religious and Christan ideas are central and world University in this poem but find that Nietzsche's ideas about supper human and also progressive at forword looking to society he says that to contemporary crisis in faith of culture and religious them. So we says that never clap to one important and never you became neglected in this poem because humanity are center in the poem.
2. In the second question Eliot believes that one must follows tradition for 'salvation'. Sigmund Freud and Eliot both are opposite from each other. According to Freud for Salvation one should be collective and individual balance, which should constantly take into account man's primitive instincts. He says that there is no need of tradition For Salvation. He also believes in life in death and death in life the cycle of life. And we found Eliot in this poem he express himself and write a bought his unhappy marriage life so, he wrote both the side.
3. In 'The Waste Land' we can see that Eliot use the example from India like, Upanishads, Buddhism or last line 'Shanti..Shanti..Shanti..' he also uses the river 'Ganga' .
Datta- to be giver 
Dayadhvam- pity, sympathy
Damyata- self control
So, because of this concept we can understand that he use Indian concept in his poem 'The Waste Land'.

Thank you.

Online discussion: Mario vargos Lliosa

Discussion is about:

Sometimes the angels are important, but for #literature, #devils are important too. Literature is a testimony of what we want to hide in the real word. This is the raison d’être of literature. You cannot attack literature for our #vices and #prejudices and #stupidities.

They (young generation) have been brought up in a #culture where #images are much more important than #ideas, so they resist the superiority of ideas.Young people today tend to think that images can form modern creative citizens. They don’t. Images create a passive citizen, more easily #domesticated than the citizen formed by ideas. I am certainly convinced that ideas are much more important than images. 

#Novelist is the "historian of the unrecorded".

Absolutely, that is a very good definition. #History and literature are faces of a coin. They are so close, and in many cases, the literary version of a historical part prevails over a historian’s account. 

I like literature that is still very close to #living experiences. I don’t like very much the idea of the writer completely #isolated, secluded in a library.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2010.

From my views, #words are the main tools through we can create the history or make a difference in history or we can solve the problems. Writing is a main idea through which we can create a different kind of society, which is more freer, more liberal. Those were very influential ideas for a young writer.

#history and literature both are very closely from each other, they are different faces of a coin. The literary version of a historical part prevails over a historian's account. Literature is also close to living experiences.
#justice for women democracy, equality, opportunity.
