To The Lighthouse Blog Task

Q;2 Do you agree: "The novel is both the tribute and critique of Mrs. Ramsay"? (Key: Take some clues from the painting of Mrs Ramsay drawn by Lily Briscoe and the article by Andre Viola and Glenn Pedersen. Can we read Mrs. R in context of the idea of Ideal Indian Woman - Karyeshu dasi, Karaneshu manthri; Bhojeshu mata, Shayaneshu rambha; Kshamayeshu dharithri, Roopeshu lakshmi; Satkarma yukta, Kuladharma pathni. )

 Ans 2.Yes, I agree because in this novel Mrs Ramsay is the round character of novel and in the novel she tribute as well as critique. First of the relationship between Mrs Ramsay and Lily Brisco was artificial. Lily has been working on painting a picture of Mrs Ramsay, who is a hard subject to paint considering how much she is always distracted by her role as mother. This painting always alips Mrs Ramsay’s mind as being  unimportant. That’s why  Woolf wants to sat that women can paint and write as was the belief that women cannot paint and write. So that Lily Briscoe described the character in the novel.

 Q 3; Considering symbolically, does the Lighthouse stand for Mrs. Ramsay or the narrator (Virginia Woolf herself who is categorically represented by Lily)?


Ans 3  " To The Lighthouse " is very symbolic novel where we also find many symbolic images.Symbols like..include the lighthouse, waves, the window, the boar's skull, and the fruit basket. For example Waves represent hills and valleys as a normal part of life. For example..The fruit basket that Rose arranges for Mrs. Ramsay's dinner party symbolizes the unity that may be out of disparity. Thus To The lighthouse popularly symbolises light and hope also up down of our life.

Q 4

1. In the article by Joseph Blotner, two myths are patterned together. Name the myths? How they are zeroed down to the symbols of 'Window' and 'Lighthouse'? How does the male phallic symbol represent feminine Mrs. Ramsay? 

Ans 4   Two myths are there :- Oedipus myth and Pagan myth.
In to the light house both myths are useful in interpreting the novel as a symbol of window and lighthouse. A we know from window we can get freshness and feeling free in our life. Lighthouse gives light and saves people during st roam. Both symbols represents male and female according to their duty in society.

Q 6  "... the wages of obedience is death, and the daughter that reproduces mothering to perfection, including child-bearing, already has on her cheeks the pallor of death. One reminded here of various texts by Lucy Irigaray, in which she attacks mothers for being, however unwillingly, accomplices in the patriarchal system of oppression." (Viola). In light of this remark, explain briefly Lily's dilemma in 'To The Lighthouse

Ans 6  Here in the novel we can say that the beginning of this novel is not proper at the beginning we come to know the quarrel between Mr and Mrs Ramsay.There is complexity of human relationship between these both characters. But at the end we can say the improvement of the relation between James and Mr Ramsay.At the end of this novel is open ended and also ends with Lily’s painting and there is no clear vision of Lily about Ramsay in the painting and at last this family reaches to the lighthouse.

Midnights children by salman Rushdie  is To be one of the most widely read book in the 20th century. The film basically deals with India’s transition from British colonialism to independence and consequently the partition of British India. Midnight children is a very good example  of postconial literature and magic realism.

The initial part of movie basically describes the events leading up to India’s indepndence and the ensuing partition of the country. Saleem born at the stroke of midnight on 15, 1947. He is born on the day India got independence from British, later on saleem comes to know that all the children who born 12am and 1am have some kinds of special powers.
Saleem is gifted with telepathic power. He uses his power to assemble a midnights children s conference. The issue dealing with cultural linguistic, religious and political differences  which are faced by India.saleem  becomes a kind  of medium and he uses his power as a conduit to bring hundreds of geographical disparate children  into contact  .at the same time  saleem tries to find out the meaning of their gift.he comes to know that the children born closest stroke of midnight have more powers than others.

Review of film reluctant fundamentalist

The reluctant fundamentalist is  political film. Deal with  musli identity in post 9/11 world. Movie based on the  2007 Novel the reluctant fundamentalist by mohshin Hamid. In this film we show conversation of Pakistani man and american soldier and said about his life in american.  The story is a post 9/11 the impact of attacks on one pakistani man and his treatment by americans is reaction to them.
In this film we show  the ever clashing mixture of global and local dualities in immigrants personalities. Movie is reaction to the discourse  of colonization from the Pakistani  side which stands for the east and welcome decolonisation. Hegemony   is  the power of the filling class to convince other classes that their interest are interest of all. Globalization is  a myth and what is actually taking place is the spread of american values,powers,and products across the global. Or in other words the american hegemony.

Hibridity has. Frequently been used in post colonial discourse to mean  simply cross- cultural exchange . hibridity  commonly refers to the creation of new transcultural forms.  Neoliberalism a type of  liberalism that believes in a global free market without government regulations ,with business and industry controlled and run for profit by private owners.  Alterity - after 9/11 attack change fails to feel like he fits in as a part of his community.

Views on T.S.Eliot Waste Land

respected sir
here my views on T.S Eliot waste land

T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’ is an important landmark in the history of  English Poetry and one of the most talked about the Poem of the 20th Century.
  

1. “The Übermensch” is a concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. In his 1883 book “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”. Übermensch is a Garman word, it means Above-Human or Superman.In this concept of Ubermensch (Superman) in seems to be progressive and forward.What Nietzsche is concerned about in relating the above is that God is dead in the hearts and minds of his own generation of modern men.

On the other side we can say that, T.S.Eliot is a person who believes in spirituality and God. T.S. Eliot was totally believes into the god and myths and’ The wast land poem ‘totally related with mythical connections and god Buddha and Christ also.

 

 .2) In the second question that prior to the speech Gustaf Hellstrom of the Swedish Academy is concept of Eliot and Freud both are important because in our life independent or free thought are more important, but the concept of Eliot is important it given us good instruction of life. Freud say that there is no need of tradition for salvation. In this poem talks about spiritual degeneration and sexual perversion. Eliot himself can't apply theory of depersonalization in his own poem.





3.) Eliot has made use of many myths poem different cultures and tries to connect different religious thoughts to get the answer. In the third part of the poem, he refers to “Jain- Buddhist” philosophy especially the serman given by Buddha. Second allusion is presented in the last part which he refers to Ganga, Brihadranyaka-upnishad.
Datta- be a giver
Dayadhavam- compassion, sympathise, empathise
Damyata- control and repress
The poem is of a quest of a man to restore spirituality as well as solution of contemporary malice.

the sound of twinkling strar gives to rise your journy of discovering what childhood  actually means i.e how children behave ,why they behave in such a manner  and the impact that has on everyone arround them . here we show  problem in visual imagery  .when we read  we show a problem  because when we think about star first image comes in our mind  that star in the sky not in the land and here line is ..''.Tare zameen par.'..or other is 'jaise bansi koi bjaye pedo k    taale'                                    Rhyming words are also used here in this lines

                           

                              "Jaise rango bhari peechkari"

                              "jaise thitliyan  phoolo ki pyari"

                              "ye to jhoke hai pawan ke"

                              "hai ye gungroo jeevan ke"

                               The word "mera jahhan" means 'castle in the sky 'aspiration of innocent childhood take a idealistic voyages.here in this song we show star as a metaphor because star is compared with children..star always looking good in the sky not  in land . children likes freedom .. we also show a personification in many lines like...

                                                "Nazuk  se moti hasde phisal kar"

                                             
                                               "jaise khile khile phoolo k mukhde"

                    Aim of the  song is that children are very innocent who's spirit has been crushed by adult and people arround him .children like freedom words like "Thitliyan "and Manmauji nadiya"depicted freedom.in this movie we show everyone blames him for not concentrating and trying harder instead of even considering. he may be sufeering from Dyslexia . parents fails to understand children and instead of helping them . we tend to ignore their capabilities and limitations.every child  is different. it is  important to understand every child differently and recognize his or her weakness and talent.

                                                                                                            Thank you
