As we have given a movie viewing task of the novel 'The Da Vinci Code' here is my response to some of the questions asked in post-viewing task. To see the original task blog click here .   1. (If)You have studied ‘Genesis’ (The Bible), ‘The Paradise Lost’ (John Milton) and ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative/s seem/s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind? In The Holy Bible there is The First Book of Moses, called Genesis. Here we came to know how God has created the whole Earth, Heaven and the Mankind. {1:1} In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. he name of the first {2:7} And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of; and man become a living soul. Paradise Lost by John Milton, the poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion f...

Romanticism : "A movement in the arts and literature which originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual." Classicism : "It is following ancient Greek or Roman principles and style in art and literature, generally associated with harmony, restraint, and adherence to recognized standards of form and craftsmanship, especially from the Renaissance to the 18th century."

Ordinary language of people B. Highly crafted poetical language A. Realistic characters, situations and strong narrative element B. Composed in a formal style In short: Romanticism vs. Classicism 1.

Tradition con not be inherited. One can get it with great labor. According to me a writer or even a critic must have Historical sense. As Eliot says that  "The historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence" If a writer or critic has a Historical sense than he could be more clear in his work. Because this sense involves both sense: The sense of Past and The sense of Present. When a writer starts writing in the beginning of his career he follows his predecessors. So we can say that, that is Tradition, that he follows. But after sometime when he develops his skill and reads more and more than his Individual Talent reflects in his writing.  Eliot says that Individual Talent is that in which l esser effect of Tradition(Predecessors) could be seen.  So Tradition and Individual Talent has connection. If one has read his time's tradition than only his own Individual Talent will come out.  ...

To differentiate poetry and poem we should first understand what is the difference between prose and poetry.. The difference between prose and poem: '' Poem is a work which is made up of highly rhythmic and lyrical words." It is used to express the imagination of a poet in an extraordinary form. When poet/poetess writes poem, his or her feeling is not like a common person. They think different, they can see different and express their observation and views differently. That makes poem.  i.e.,  Simple sentence:  The sun and moon looks like they are revolving around the earth. Poem :  The sun and moon revolving around the Earth;               As if they suggest the circle of death and Birth. (Self made) The difference between  Poem and Poetry: - Poem is a form in which both forms are concluded: speech and song . - They are mostly singable. They cover vast styles, genre and other elements....

Poetic diction is a selection of language. Wordsworth has suggested about poetic diction that; A. Language of poetry should be the language of a common man. B. It should have a certain colouring of imagination. C. The words of conversation would provide the rough framework of the language of poetry.  According to Wordsworth, 'the poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge, the impassioned expression that is in the countenance of all science.'  He also says that poetry 'is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.' Which being possesed by a man who, of more than usual organic sensibility, had also thought long and deeply.  'Daffodils' is a best example of Wordsworth's simple poetry style.  I wandered lonely as a cloud  That floats on high o'er vales and hills,  When all at once I saw a crowd,  A host, of golden daffodils;  Beside the lake, beneath the trees,  Fluttering and...

The difference between original play ‘Hamlet’ by Shakespeare and movie by Kenneth Branagh is as below: a) Some dialogues of the play are very long and hard, those are removed or shortened in the movie. i.e., Dialogues of Ophelia are shortened in the movie to show her madness effectively. b) Kenneth Branagh has added some scenes those are not in the original play. We can understand the reason behind it that it’s necessary to maintain the interest of the audience. i.e., 1. The beginning and the end of the movie with the statue of Old king Hamlet.        2. Horatio was reading a newspaper. c) The costumes which are used in the movie is not of the time in which the play was written. i.e., Branagh uses costumes to suggest 19th century but the play is written in 17th century. My perception about the play, characters and situations: ·         Play is an extra-ordinary wo...

Plato's objection to poetry.. Plato has main three objection to poetry: Poetry is not ethical, philosophical and pragmatic .  In other words.. - he objected poetry with the point of view of education - he objected poetry with the point of view of philosophical - he objected poetry with the point of view of moral Why Plato objected with these three point of views?
