Thinking Activity: The Waste Land

Thinking Activity: The Waste Land

     T.S.Eliot's The Waste Land has been regarded as one of the most important modern poem. The work addresses modernity and the lost connection to high culture and fine art. The poem is full of literary and mythological references that draw on many culture and universalized the poem's theme.

1)  We can say that Eliot is more regressive as compared to Nietzsche's views.

-    Because Eliot tries to find out the solution from different religion of the past.

-   Nietzsche's views seems to more appealing. Because in contemporary time faith in self is more important. We can not depend on any Supernatural power.

-   That is good if one see possibilities of his own self and that helps him to grow so this idea is worth thinking.

-   On the other side Eliot says about looking backward in past. He took past mythologies in The Waste Land Looking back and move forward in future with the help of past that is in one way helpful because that mythologies helps one not to repeat that mistake in future. So, I think, Eliot's views seems more appealing.

2)  Freud and Eliot both are different from their view point.

-    Freud believed in individuality and talk about "primitive instinct".

-    Where as Eliot believe that The Salvation of man lies in the preservation of cultural traditions which in our more mature years lives with greater vigour within us than does primitive if chaos is to be avoided.

3)  In this poem we see that Eliot wrote about many Indian thought.

-    So we can say that he was good reader of Upnishada and also write about that in his poem "The Waste Land".

-   He also taken some words like...

          :) Data- to be Giver

          :) Dayadhvam- Sympathy

          :) Damayta- Self Control

     And in the last he write...

          Shantih... Shantih... Shantih.

So, this concept we can understand that he use Indian concept in his poem 'The Waste Land'.

Movie Review on Matilda & Book Review

 Movie Review on Matilda & Book Review

         The movie is awsome and teaches young kids to stay strong to there selves and what they believe in. And it is a little educational because matilda is VERY smart and mature for her young age (6). While in the movie when she shows how smart she is she answers the correct answer to all math problems and she reads a lot.

      Which is very good set example for younger kids. My concerns though are that the principle at Matilda's new school... is very mean, scary, and violent. She has a dart board with kids faces on them and throws darts at them. She also scares and threatens kids with her wipe but never actually uses it. And another thing is she puts kids in the chockie (a very small space with broken glass and nails sticking out the sides) another very scary thing is that when matilda and her teacher get trapped in the principles house they have to work together to find there way out but almost gets caught several times.

            I wish everyone could see this movie. Matilda is a good role model because she can take care of herself, she's kind, polite, and she loves to read. It is a little dark, but there's a good ending.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2010. His most recent novel is "The Neighborhood." He was interviewed for The World Post by Michael Skafidas, a journalist and professor of comparative literature at the City University of New York.

This three points l like the most,

But feminism now has a kind of problem. It has become very sectarian, very dogmatic, and I think you have to criticize and oppose these trends.

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.

For the first time, in a culture that is totally global, without differences between East and West, we are all part of this new culture in which images are the great protagonists.

Thank you......

Movie review Modern Time

                           Movie Review
          Charli Chaplin vs. Modern Time

Modern Times is a 1936 American comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic Little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and financial conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization.

Charlie Chaplin's film Modern Time, this is a modern film that has a large development of machines and factories. All these giant machines save time and faster work, but on the other hand, they use the cameras to control the workers' head on the workers and their work is suppressed, the entire factory is captured by cameras.

Workers (laborers) are required to work with the speed of the machines, as the speed of the machines is increased, so workers are struggling to maintain the speed of their work with them.

Whenever the factory closes, all workers (laborers) become unemployed (homeless) and they come out on the roads and raise their voices for their employment, but they do not listen to the unemployed workers' voices.

There are so many incidents in this movie, which show a modern time that ends with a happy ending at the end of the film.
