Hello Reader !
Welcome to my blog
Here I want to Share my view on following topics. So let's start our journey of learning together...
Here is task given as a post colonial studies by Jay Mehta Sir,
If we read Edgar Allan Poe's works then we found themes of like mystery and human behavior.Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. ( Wikipedia )

- Pre-Thinking Task :-
Que.:-1). Read the first Gujarati story and listen to the audio recitation of the second story. Observe how the two wordsmiths work wonders through words! (Absolute obsession of alliteration.)
Ans.:-
Both story are wonderful. When I read story of " Mansangh " at that time I confused in first paragraph because there are starting with some conversation between Characters but While I read continuously I felt that I will watch like movie. In the story of " Mansangh " used good narrative style and used of language with effective ways. Here writer has sense of used words because he don't use one more words without need. In this story writer has magic of words.

Que.:-2). List out various adjectives that contribute the most in creating the "pre-established design" or effect that the author intended to create.
Ans.:-
Adjectives are words that are used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns. For example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things—a red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, an obnoxious person. Adjectives take many forms. Some common adjectives are formed when we add a suffix to a noun or verb. For example, when we add the suffix -ful to the noun beauty,makes the adjective beautiful, and adding the suffix -able to the verb read makes the adjective readable.

Que.:-3). Which are the phrases you find frightening? How are they placed in the text?

Que.:-4). Can you find out any other lexical varieties such as figures of speech like simile, metaphor, personification etc? Briefly explain their significance in the story.
Ans.:-
In common usage, a figure of speech is a word or phrase that means something more or something other than it seems to say—the opposite of a literal expression. Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are given to non-living objects.
Here I notify some examples of Personifications and Metaphors so let's see,
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.
Que.:-5). What is the impact of listening to the stories on your mind? Which Rasas/emotions erupt in you during and after the reading/listening sessions?
Ans.:-
When I read Short story sometime I felt kind of sorrowful condition and mystery but in the middle part of the story description of young lady at that time I felt shringar rasa. Another thing is that I don't like listen audio because I don't get properly some words and sentences. I preferred to read story rather than listen audio clip.
