Documentary film: Rivers and Tides

We have watched this documentary on 14th March. Rivers and Tides, Andy Goldsworthy working with the time.  As we all know nothing remains permanent. As it is Andy Goldsworthy working with time and nature.  Goldsworthy is famous throughout the world for his work in ice, stone, leaves, wood, and he felt that he has deep connection with the earth. May be he is working seasonal changes. He made a sculpture with the help of stones. One beautiful thing is he uses the natural background music.  Goldsworthy says that "Art for me is a form of nourishment".  He notices sculpture, "The very thing that brought it to life, will bring about its death." The documentary described about Scottish landscapes. He talks about the impact of sheep on the Scottish landscape, and made a chain of green leaves and placed them in the water. Beautiful stonewall, crosses a field, and goes under a river, and emerges to wind through the trees on the other side. Goldsworthy f

Healthy Relationship

Different people define relationships in different ways. Understand that a person can only change if they want to. You can’t force your partner to alter their behavior if they don’t believe they’re  wrong.  friendships   are based on mutual respect.  As you get older, some of your friendships will start to change, and some may grow deeper. You might also begin to know many more people, although not all of them will be your close friends. Developing close relationships can also have a powerful impact on your physical health. Sometimes spending time with happy and positive people can elevate your mood and boost your outlook. Relations are our support to live in the society, someway that relations are our whole life also. "Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it."

Harry Potter: web quest

This blog is part of the thinking activity on Harry Potter, which is given by our professor of our department. To visit the main blog click here 1.  Feminist reading of Harmione’s character in Harry Potter Hermione Granger, a good, loyal friend of Harry Potter. S he is a manifestation of the author herself within the text. “Hermione is me,” Rowling has said in several interviews, “A caricature of me when I was younger”. She is  not only as a strong female character, an essential part of Harry's life, but also as a feminist protagonist in her own right. Hermione represents the bookish knowledge, she knows the spells very well and also knows how to apply it. In the first and second part she represents the good virtues like, friendship, loyalty. In any kind of situation she stands for Harry.   Hermione is the perfect example when examining the feminist principles in the novels. Throughout the series she has many strengths and weaknesses, but she is mostly criticized about h

The Sense of an Ending

'The Sense of an Ending', the text which tells about the history and memory, so it is very effectual to studied the text. We have to do thinking activity on this text, to read the main blog click here . 1.  How do you understand memory and history with reference to your reading of this novel. The novel speakes of the memory and history which has different parameters. The novel constructes aspects about the memory. We keep our memories but we can not rely on that. We constructes 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 "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't makes the certain history. As in the novel Tony remembers imperfect memory in which he can not thin

'All My Sons' by Arthur Miller

'All my Sons' written by Arthur Miller, who is known for his dramatic plays  that take a pragmatic look at the American dream  in the middle of the industrial era. All My Sons is exemplary of Miller’s work in revealing the life of Joe Keller, a hard working family man gone bad in search of the American dream of financial security for his family. Arthur Miller provides a certain message to the society that man is responsible for his own actions.  The plot is strong enough to stand on its own without the social commentary that Arthur Miller aptly implies.  Joe Miller, a manufacturer of airplane parts, knowing sells defective parts the United States Government .  The parts were used in P40 planes during the recently completed second world war . The crime that Joe Miller engaged in was deeper than the obvious federal offense.  It is a crime against society and man’s responsibility to his fellow man.   Joe and Kate Keller had two sons, Chris and Larry. Keller owned a manu

Thinking activity: 'The Da Vinci Code'

 This task is given by Pro. Dilip Barad, to look at worksheet click here 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 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 also 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 murder mystery he unfolds the factual things about the Christianity. The painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, The Last Supper, which tells about the relation between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Seemingly it is an entertaining story murder mystery, the puzzle, paintings of Da Vinci. As a
