The Sense of an Ending: Julian Barnes


1) What is the meaning of phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email?     dictionary meaning of blood money
Money paid in compensation to the family of someone who has been killed.
But here in this text this word is signifying something symbolic . The phrase 'Blood Money' can have meanings like, relationship with Sarah caused Adrian's suicide. And her money is given to Tony. Their relationship damages young Adrian's life so it can be called Blood Money and Tony is cause of all damages so Veronica call his (given) money as 'Blood Money'


 2)How do you decipher the equation: b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b?
 The equation Means b =baby or young Adrian, s = Sarah, V= Veronica, a= Adrian.
b = s – v x/+ a1 means, Young Adrian, b is a result of Sarah's relationship with Adrian (x/+) with breaking relationship with Veronica(-).
a2 + v + a1 X s = b? a2 means Anthony ( Adrian used to address Tony as Anthony) It says relationship of Tony with Veronica, and her relationship with Adrian. And Adrian and Sarah's relationship multiplies b means gave birth to baby or young Adrian.

 3)Adrian’s diary is willed to Tony by Sarah Ford. Why did Sarah Ford own it? Why was it in the possession of Veronica?
Tony said that.....

 "The Purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual lo
    We records the memory as we like it. Not as what actually  happen in the past. Events turns into anecdotes and things are quite different. As Tony says his own story from his perspective or from his own memory. But when he revisits his own memory with the documents thongs are totally different with the evidence. So, reader can't reliable on Tony's memory because he himself gets surprised  when he revisited his own memory.  So, this is story from Tony's perspective. 

4.
Was the mentally retarded middle aged ‘Adrian’, Tony’s friend who did not commit suicide and was suffering from trauma and thus gone mad, and was living with hidden identity?
Mantel’s method is to follow affairs eagerly as Cromwell sees them. She has used the form, “stream of consciousness”. The traditional view of Thomas Cromwell indirectly relates the Qliver Cromwell via his, Thomas’s sister, which has been routinely hostile. This was the man who organized the dissolution of the monasteries and dispersal of their lands and wealth to the Kings friends.

10.modernist poems analysis

Modernist poems analysis 1.) ‘The Embankment‘ - T. E. Hulme Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy, In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement. Now see I That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy. Oh, God, make small The old star-eaten blanket of the sky, That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie. Probably the most striking trait of the poem is the very intense use of alliterations: fantasia, fallen, finesse of fiddles, found, the flashes… In other words, that musical quality (the  melopoeia , in Pound’s terms) that results from the softness of the sound of ‘f’. The soft rhythm redirects our attention to the poem: the music of the ‘f’ not only resembles the music of fiddles, it also highlights them reinforcing the image. The effect of softness is very similar to  Joyce’s  “the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling” in the final paragraph of  The Dead . 2.) "Darkness" - Joseph Campbell Darkness ...

Structuralism and Literary Criticism: Gerard Genette

In literary theory, structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure. Garrard Genette gives the Narratology in order to understand the structure of the literature. It consists of five parts: 1) Order 2) Frequency 3) Duration 4) Voice 5) Mood  And here I have tried to analyze the movie.  For example, in "Haider” director vishal bharadwaj taken plot and story from Shakespeare’s play “hamlet”. But here director change the plot background, place and theme. When we see the Kenneth branagh’s hamlet starting with the statue of king hamlet. And At the end director gave very typical end all the characters are died.  but in  haider movie  director  vishal bharadwaj is very confused about end so he do not have any end all the major charter is alive but here at the end is depends upon audience . Question is as it raised in mind  “To be or not to be”.   Another examp...

It has been defined as "an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment". Forest school is both a  pedagogy  and a physical entity, with the use often being interchanged.
