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.

Her parents sign the adoption papers that Matilda had kept for a long time. They escape and Matilda lives a happy life with Miss Honey, who becomes the new principal of Crunchem Hall.

2) My favourite book:
Whenever I remain in stress or any kind of boredom i am fond of books like adventurous, mysterious and also scientific themes in the books. So in my life there are so many books which I used to read in free time. But I.K. vijlivala's short stories are very interesting books ever. Just because it makes me more connected with the real life stories and also the truth of the mankind. Sometimes his stories are makes me very involved that takes me to another side of life which is reality of society. And of course I have to write about my most favourite book sequence by Amish tripathi which is "Trilogy of Shiva". This is mind changing book sequences. Whenever I find my self very spiritual i will remember these books. In this books Amish writes all the known stories of Shiva but his way of writing is very different. There is no sign of any supernatural element but there is rationality in the all causes of events. The characters are same but relations and structure is very different than the myth. I am always curious to read these three books. I found that Shiva which is human being not the height of god.

Thank you.

"Stop telling Sharmeens and Adigas to Photoshop reality".

Here we find interesting topic on the 'Practice of honor killing'. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Academy Award for her documentary, A Girl in the River, has been much celebrated at home. Sharmeen's first Oscar award winning documentary film, A Girl in the River .This documentary is also based on the honor of Killing in the country of Pakistan.

I am aree that it is not bad to show bad part of our country 

When any people shows negative aspect of their country it is not bad but they trys to say that we cannot find only goody goody things in our country but some parts are not good but people wants to show only good things for their county and it is not right because when we does not see bad part so how we can change in those thing and they did not think about actual image of India .

For example When someone from another country and spoke about their problems at that time we say that it is right and all other things but when same thing done by our own country's person then we say that it is not good .
