Thinking Activity :-Worksheet on Frankenstein

Hello Readers!
    Welcome to my blog,

This task given by Heenaba Zala professor  of  the Department of English Maharaj Krishnkumarsinhji Bhavnager  University.  This  Novel "Frankenstein"  written by Mary Shelley. Different view movie and novel thinking Activity .

Mary Shelley:-



Mary Shelley born in 30 August 1797, Somers Town, London, United kingdom
Died in 1 February 1851, Chester Square, London, United kingdom.




# Differences between Frankenstein movie and book:-
 Victor uses professor waldman's brain and pieces of criminals corpses to assemble the creature's body. Victor uses an unknown process to create what would have been the monster's bride, which he destroys before bringing to life. Victor brings Elizabeth back to life, with the monster attempting to take her as his bride.

Frankenstein v/s Kenneth Branagh's movie Frankenstein:-
                                


         This movie seen simply style very understanding . James whale has done a great job in his direction.This is not an easy thing to direct just how far to go in playing upon an audiences credulity, it's sympathy, it's neves. Whale seems to have gone far enough, but not too far.


Frankenstein as a warning of transgression, of human hubris and terrible ambition realised. It marks the first Gothic exploration of artificial life, gives rise to the burgeoning science fiction genre, and remains a literary classic concerned with the liminality between life and death.

A frame narrative is a Literary technique used to contain an embedded narrative, a story within a story, to provide the reader with context about the main narrative. A frame narrative, also known as a framing be found in the beginning middle or end of the story.
                         
This movie Frankenstein I feel horror effect in the movie because the creation of human by human is the very horrible because of victer collect various body parts from various places. And created human by sneeching body which looks horrible.


# Does the movie help you to understand narrative structure of the novel

Yes, the movie help me a lot to understand narrative structure of the novel. Because in the movie we find many similar.

Matthew Arnold : Characteristics of Good Poetry and criticism


Hell Readers !

       Welcome to my blog,

Here I'm posting my answer of thinking activity on Matthew Arnold. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir Department of English M.K. Bhavnager University.

#Matthew Arnold:-

                 
  Born:- 24 December 1822
 Died:-15 April 1888

# Matthew Arnold was an English poet and cultural Critic who worked as an inspector of schools. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby school, and brother to both Tom Arnold, literary professor, and William  Delafield Arnold, novelist and colonial administrator.

# Here I am going to my view on detachment and disinterestedness, fallacies like historical and personal , second is his 'Touchstone method' and their is his definition of Poetry.

# Disinterestedness or detachment:-

The first great principle of criticism enunciated by Arnold is that of disinterestedness or detachment disinterestedness on the part of the Critic implies freedom from all prejudices, personal or historical.

# Arnold's Touchstone method:-

To find Wich Poetry is the best, Matthew Arnold suggest a Method known as ' Touch tone method'. This method was introduced in his work "The study of Poetry".
Purpose of his method:-
Select some best lines from the well-known Poetry. Compare it with other poets. Definition and evaluate with different measurement; and pass the judgement.

Matthew Arnold was basically a classicist. He admired the ancient Greek, Roman, and French authors as the models to be followed by the modern English authors. That's why he introduced a method to judge a poetic work using classical work as the base. According to Arnold, a real classic is a work which belongs to the class of the very best. It can be recognized by placing it beside the known classics of the world. Those known classics can serve as the Touchstone by which the merit of contemporary poetic work can be tested.


# Definition of Poetry:-

" 'In poetry' this criticism of life must conform to the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty".


# poetry is criticism of life
-Arnold asserts that literature, and especially Poetry, is " Criticism of Life".



-In poetry, this criticism of life must conform to the   laws of poetic truth and beauty


-Truth and seriousness of matter, falicity and perfection of diction and manner, as are exhibited in the best poets, are what constitutes a criticism of life.


# Work of Matthew Arnold:-



-Dover Beach

-The Scholar Gipsy
-Culture and Anarchy
-Thyrsis
-Literature & dogma



# Characteristics:


Poetry is an interpretation of life. It is Criticism of life. It has the power to console, sustain and form us. At the same time, it delights us too.poetry plays an eminent role in life. It is more important than religion. In this respect, Arnold says....


  " In poetry, as a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty".



Matthew Arnold is an intellectual giant of the Victorian period. His  views about poetry are elaborately stated in his " The study of Poetry". He has a high conception of Poetry. He points out the Characteristics of best Poetry where man will stay in future. He is confident that Poetry has immense future. He  expresses his views on the nature, function and character of poetry to a great extent. He gives to Poetry a very high position. Arnold sets high standards for Poetry. According to him, it attains the place of religion. It is an application of ideas to life. The best kind of Poetry is a criticism of life.


Matthew Arnold was a poet and literary Critic whose influence continued long after his death. His poetry explored isolation and conflict with a dark and difficult world through themes like loneliness and isolation, classical characters and ideas, and the flaws of modern life.

Thinking activity :- Nature


Hello , Readers !

            Welcome to my blog,

This task given by professor Vaidehi ma'am Department of English MKBU


The geographic terrain of India is Rich and diverse, filled with lush green forests, scenic lakes, majestic mountain peaks, mosaics of grasslands, tropical beaches, and vast stretches of wilderness. From East to west, north to south, this south Asian country packs an assortment of treasures for nature lovers.

William Wordsworth:-

-Worshipper of Nature
-Philosophical  massage
-Nature as a Teacher
-Man and Nature has a mutual consciousess.



Wordsworth repeatedly emphasizes the importance of nature to an  individual's intellectual and spiritual development. A good relationship with nature helps individuals connect to both the spiritual and the social world's. As Wordsworth explains in  the prelude,a love of nature can lead to a love of humankind.

My views of Nature :-

 Nature related poet other poem writing for example :- Wordsworth poem Daffodils.

Nature in gives deeply massage.
let see

 Water,fire and ice have combined to make some of the most spectacular scenery in the world-from giant crystal caves to mud volcanoes and rock formations that look like works of art.

Nature is very importance of human have needed to survive and thrive, was provided by the nature world around us : food,water , madicine, materials for shelter, and even nature cycless such us climate and natrients.




This pictures gives message in social life. knowledgeable people give respect Society people but unknowledgeable man not respect society people of the social life. This pictures two sides gives message . Two sides gives message positive and negative messages.
