"Harry Potter" by J.K.Rowling.



                                                                   


Respected sir,

                 This blog is a part of my classroom activity. Click Here to view this activity.

*   Feministic reading of Harmione’s character.

Whether it society or in literature female characters are always marginalized. Here in Harry potter same thing happen with the Harmione’s character. If we take look upon her character. We can say that she is intelligent more than others. Ron says that they can’t survive without Harmione. She proves her point with the logical arguments. In class her hand is always raised while others not. It is believed that women are sensitive they could not fight but in case of Harmione it is opposite. She is not sensitive but she fights against all the difficulties. 

Being a female writer Rowlling gives strength, power, and intellect to Harmione’s character. But is she a central character? No. Harry is the central character. Rowlling can give strength but she has to portray Harmione as accepted by the world rather than what she wants to portrayed. Potter is at the center because Harmione cannot do a cultural conflict & Rowlling could not allow her to do so. If female is the centre of the novel or movie than it is not popular. The reason is society is still patriarchal & it difficult to own by patriarchy.

*   Theme of choice & chance in ‘Harry potter’ 

Harry's decisions basically determined the fate of the world. of course, all of the characters-not just Harry defined by their choices throughout the series.

 The Chamber of Secrets, when Riddlel Voldemort tells Harry that " it was merely a lucky chance that saved You." After he is told that Lily's sacrifice was the reason he had not been able to kill baby Harry. Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry that "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.Throughout the series , Voledemort continues to insist on chance as the cause of his downfall, right up to the bitter end.

 Dumbledore , by contrast, insists on the importance of personal choice in determine outcomes, rather than either chance or choice.Rowling has said that Dumbledore often speaks for her and Voldemort certainly does not , so it seems that she would also belive in choice rather than chance.

*   Speculative Literature

The basic understanding of Speculative literature means a world created by the author in which the rules and regulations are convincing in that world only. The rules may differ from our world in which we are live. Speculative literature also have the element of supernatural powers and at some extend the feeling of fear. Here J.K.Rowling has created the world of wizards and witches which is convincing to that world only and as a reader we can inter into that world through our imagination. It is true that Harry Potter is speculative literature but as the story forwards it talks about the reality of and death. And that is how J.K.Rowling is able to reach ‘Real’ literature through her work. And the journey is of Harry Potter so he is the soul of this story.

                Purpose, by T.P. Kailasam, is a short play dramatizing events that occurred in the Mahabharata involving Drona, Arjuna, and Eklavya. Drona is a skilled teacher, renown throughout the land for his wisdom and skill. Arjuna is a prince of a great kingdom. Eklavya is a tribal boy from a relatively far-away area.

Kailasam is a drama in two acts. The story is based on Adiparva from ‘The Mahabharata”.  As we see that in the story how Kailasam given margin and criticize to Arjun and Dhrona Characters.  The story moves around Ekalavya and Arjun and their purpose behind learning archery. Both want to learn archery from the great Dronacharya.  But we see post colonial thinks in Ekalavya characters are center and periphery to Ajuna’s character. When the story goes that ancient time in

Lawrence                                         In the poem "A baby running barefoot" by D.H. Lawrence uses imagery to describe how the baby is running around beautifully and barefooted.                                     The poem is spoken in the voice of a first person narrator who is watching a female baby run across the grass. The narrator uses similes and metaphors that describe the baby's feet by comparing them to aspects of the natural world such as butterflies, flowers, and water.                       In the first line the poet talks about the "Barefeet" of baby who runs across the grass. He then tells about her little white feet, nod like the flower, nod in the wind he beautifully had described. How a baby child runs across the grass out of innocence
