The White Tiger

  • 1) How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?                                                                                                                            not totally agree but somehow some of the point of novel shows real india  this kind of condition may not be in all the states of India. India itself is very large and full of diversity. at many extent, to me, it looks like novel is tale of 1970s India. Because while living in Gujrat we dont have seen the poor condition narrated in novel. But this kind of scene is common in Bihar. so from where it is said is also very important.
    its not about WHOLE india, but about few selected parts (states)of India
    2) Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'?
    Yes.i belive that  Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'The concept of "Rags to riches" has been criticised by social reformers, revolutionaries, essayists and statisticians, who argue that only a handful of exceptionally capable and/or mainly lucky persons are actually able to travel the "rags to riches" road, being the great publicity given to such cases causes a natural survivorship bias illusion which help keep the masses of the working class and the working poor in line, preventing them from agitating for an overall collective change in the direction of social equality  Balram also understands the severity of his actions. Fear for his family is the largest obstacle he must overcome to carry out Mr. Ashok’s murder. In the days before, he has visions – imagining a buffalo in the street blaming him for the deaths of his family. Even after he becomes a businessman in Bangalore, he goes to the temple to pray for their spirits.
    3. "Language bears within itself the necessity of its own critique, deconstructive criticism aims to show that any text inevitably undermines its own claims to have a determinate meaning, and licences the reader to produce his own meanings out of it by an activity of semantic 'freeplay' (Derrida, 1978, in Lodge, 1988, p. 108). Is it possible to do deconstructive reading of The White Tiger? How?
    Yes, it is possible to possible to deconstructive reading of The White Tiger. help of some words like, in this book author himself uses this word like, “This book is Auto-Biography of half-baked Indians”. So how can we rely on the narrator who himself is half baked. It deconstructs the entire narrative

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.

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 ...
