# Modernist Poetry:- Modernist poetry in English started in the early years of the 20th century with the appearance of the Imagists.In common with many other modernists, these poets wrote in reaction to the perceived excesses of Victorian poetry, with its emphasis on traditional formalism and ornate diction.Modernists saw themselves as looking back to the best practices of poets in earlier periods and other cultures. ***Here is my interpretation of ten short poems, with modern metaphors and symbols.*** 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".. In this Poem, Poet is missing his old life,as a “fallen gentlemen”, the metaphor contains complexity by using word ‘gentleman’ rather than ‘man’.Poet recounting his ...

"The Waste Land"          -by T.S.Eliot..... My answers of three questions about contradiction of Eliot with Nietzsche and Freud and the use of Indian thoughts in “The Waste Land”: 1)  What are your views on the following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzsche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise?       # T.S.Eliot and Friedrich Nietzsche both are totally different or they are opposite in their views...but both can be considered right on their place... Nietzsche is like an atheist,he believes that their is no God or he believes in human power,he says,that only man can help themselves and “God is dead”.He was convinced that traditional values represented a “slave morality”.Nietzsche believes in superhuman who has strength and believe in own self... In Nietzsche's "Ubermensch...

Thinking activity on Oneness of Literature.. The literature is connected with each other. Or we can say,the literature is produced from the literature.. To understand a work of creativity in literature,we must have an understanding of this continuity of literature.. Inshort all literature is connected with each other .... Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Literature is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific work but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, poetry, drama, fiction and non fiction. #Northrop Frye... He developed the theory of "Archetypal Criticism" based on the idea that whole of the literature has oneness of its existence. All literatures shares common DNA or skeleton. There is parallel structure in writting. #T.S.Eliot... T.S.Eliot said in his "Tradition and Individual Talent", that the best individual part of poet's work ...

Online Discussion Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, he is  commonly known as Mario Vargas Llosa.. He is a Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, essayist and college professor. Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists, and one of the leading writers of his generation.

"If you are killed because you are a writer, that's the maximum expression of respect, you know".  - Mario Vargas Llosa Mario Vargas Llosa's style encompasses historical material as well as his own personal experiences;For example, in his first novel, 'The Time of the Hero': his own experiences at the Leoncio Prado military school informed his depiction...

As a part of study, I give here a Small Movie-Review.. Recently we have a movie screening of Matilda Movie...  "Matilda"... It’s a movie about a little girl with an incredible talent and a bright mind. It happens that she was born and raised in the most disgusting family a child could get. Her parents have no college degree, lie to people, having a business where they sell overpriced cars with stolen parts.In the meantime, they have no morals whatsoever and have no intention to change it. Matilda contains numerous elements of traditional fairy tales..The basic material may seem odd for a family film, dealing as it does with issues of child neglect, abuse, and revenge. By removing the story from conventional reality, however, DeVito pulls it off. This is a world where adults are bad and children are good. Matilda has the unfortunate luck of being a smart kid born to not only stupid, but annoying and neglectful.Her parents leave her alone for extended perio...

***Movie review on The Great Dictator... Today we have a movie screening of The Great Dictator, on 30,June 2018... Charlie Chaplin is best known for his silent films, but "The Great Dictator" was his first proper speaking film... The movie was released in 1940 and set during the 30's, The Great Dictator is a vicious and biting satire of the rise of 'Adolf Hitler'.... Charlie Chaplin plays two roles: Adenoid Hynkel, an obvious parody of Hitler and also an unnamed Jewish barber who becomes an unlikely leader of a resistance movement.. Chaplin is regarded as a comic actor, However I think that Chaplin balanced the dark tone with the comic elements well.  For example, just as the Jewish barber character is about to get lynched, he is saved at the last minute by a German officer whom he had fought with in the First World War, somehow the Jewish Barber is suffering from amensia and can't remember who his saviour is.... I didn't ...

***Movie review of 'The Modern Times'... Today, on 29 June 2018, we watched "The Modern Times"... #The Modern Times is a 1936 comedy film. It's  written,directed and starring by Charlie Chaplin. It is considered one of his most important films alongside classics such as The Great Dictator, Gold Rush and City Lights. Like all Chaplin’s greatest work, the film treads a fine line between slapstick and satire, as well as functioning as a socio-economic commentary on American society during the thirties as a result of increasing industrialisation and in particular the  devastating effects of Great Depression. Charlie Chaplin's films continue to hold up, to attract and delight us."Modern Times" was Charlie's first film after five years of hibernation in the 1930s.With "Modern Times," a fable about  automation, assembly lines and the enslaving of man by machines, he hit upon an effective way to introduce sound without ...
