T.S.Eliot:Tradition and Individual Talent

About T.S.Eliot T.S. Eliot, in full Thomas Stearns Eliot, (born September 26, 1888, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.—died January 4, 1965, London, England), American-English poet, playwright, literary critic, and editor, a leader of the Modernist movement in poetry in such works as The Waste Land (1922) and Four Quartets (1943). Eliot exercised a strong influence on Anglo-American culture from the 1920s until late in the century. His experiments in diction, style, and versification revitalized English poetry, and in a series of critical essays he shattered old orthodoxies and erected new ones. The publication of Four Quartets led to his recognition as the greatest living English poet and man of letters, and in 1948 he was awarded both the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize for Literature. 1)                   How would you like to explain Eliot's concept of tradition? Do you agree with it? >Yes, I am agree with the concept of tradition given by Eliot in his essay in wh

Rivers and Tides

"Rivers and Tides" Andy Goldsworthy Anyone who has built a sand castle by the edge of the sea and paused to observe the rising tide creep in and wash it away, can sink into the contemplative world of the Scottish artist profiled in Thomas Riedelsheimer's film ''Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time.'' This bearded, soft-spoken 46-year-old dreamer, who shares an old stone house with his wife and four children in a rural village, Penpont, works mostly outdoors, creating mutable sculptures that he calls earthworks. These organic sculptures interact with nature in a way that magically illuminates the cycles of creation, destruction and renewal. Although some of his work, like a winding stone wall that he built at the Storm King Arts Center in Mountainville, N.Y., has longevity, most of it involves ice, water, leaves, grass, mud and stones and is not built to last: its evanescence is an essential aspect of its beauty. But thanks to p

What is Literature?

Literature is mirror of society because it gives an image, but image is not necessarily a true image. The Image can be distorted in reality or perceived as distorted by society as whole literature tends to focus on subject current to societal engagement. Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance. So we can say that literature is mirror of world.....

Robinson Crusoe Film Screening

Robinson Crusoe We have watched movie in our Department.  So I  write on Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe washes up on an uninhabited island on the North American coast. He lives there for twenty-eight years documenting his physical and spiritual growth in his journal. Then one day a British ship sails by the island, and he's rescued. In the mid 17th century, Robinson Crusoe begins his career as a sailor, against the wishes of his parents, who would prefer him to go into law. Crusoe survives a deadly shipwreck in the Caribbean and manages to set up a camp for himself on an uninhabited island. Much of the story documents the time he spent building his shelter and other things to make his life more comfortable, his gardening, goat raising, and hunting, as well as his religious reflections. Many years after the shipwreck, Crusoe rescues a prisoner from a nearby island. He names this man Friday, converts him to Christianity, and enjoys his company. Later, he sees
