"Ode on Grecian Urn"

Image
                 "Ode on Grecian Urn" The poet or the speaker is standing before an ancient Grecian urn and addresses it. His attention is focused on the depiction of pictures on the urn . He describes the urn as a historian tells a story. He wonders about the figures on the side of the urn and asks what story they depict and from where they come. He looks at a picture that seems to depict a group of men following a group of women and wonders what their story could be. Next the speaker looks at another picture on the urn, this time of a young man playing a pipe, lying with his lover under a tree. The poet says that the piper’s unheard melodies are sweeter than mortal melodies because they are unaffected and unchanged by time. He tells the youth that, though he can never kiss his lover because he is frozen at one place, he should not feel sad, because her beauty will never remove from her face. Next, he looks at the trees surrounding the...

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMAGES AND SYMBOLS

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMAGES AND SYMBOLS. Symbol is usually an object or an action that stands for something and has a deeper meaning then what is simply written in words in the book.     symbolism is only when something stands for something else, and it is very important usually in the work. Symbols are basically used in poems to compare one thing with an other one. In poetry you could use a colour as a symbol For example: O My love is like red red rose, here red is used as the symbol of love but if we see generally red is also the symbol of hate. symbolism is when you use something to represent something else. Images are descriptive language that allows you visualize everything that is going on, images are just anything that  appeals  to any of the five senses. For example: Eyes to see, Ears to hear, Nose to smell, Tongue to taste and Skin to touch or feel.   An image can consist of similes, metaphors, allegories and symbols.  ...

Terrorism: Challenges Before Humanities

Terrorism: Challenges Before Humanities What is Terrorism: Terrorism is the use of fear and acts of violence in order to intimidate societies or governments. Many different types of social or political organizations might use terrorism to try to achieve their goals. People who do terrorism are called terrorists. It is difficult to explain terrorism. Terrorism has no official criminal law definition at the international level. Common definitions of terrorism refer to violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror); are done for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and which target civilians. Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal gangs is not usually called terrorism, though these same actions may be called terrorism when done by a politically motivated group. History of Terrorism: Terrorist acts or the threat of such action have been in existence for millennia. Despite having a histo...

RESERVATION POLICY

RESERVATION POLICY Reservation is a policy which is given to a certain group of people who are on periphery which means who are not in the centre and which who are far from the vision of majority. someone has said "not every backward community person is poor and not every Brahmin is rich which means if a person is belonging to a backward community than he is poor and if a person is  Brahmin than he is rich. Money does not do partiality between class of a person. Today we have 543 member in the parliament house there are 84 seats are reserved for SC's and 43 seats are reserved for ST's.

FEMINISM IN INDIA

Image
      In religious rituals and customs, females are restricted from taking part in all worship. In Kerala, females are not allowed to enter in the  temples. They are also restricted from worshiping the God Hanuman and in some regions they are restricted from touching the 'shivling' the idol  of lord  shiva . In swaninarayan temples the priest of the temples were not allowed women to get enter in the temple because they don't want to see the face of the women. Because they thought that if the will see the face of an another lady expect their mother their mind will get distracted. I am asking that when their mother gave birth to them at that time they didn't saw the face of their mother? Most of the average Indian woman's life is spent in marriage; many women are still married before the legal age of 18. Childbearing and raising children are the priorities of early adulthood for Indian women.
