 Thanking Activity : The Birthday Party Movie screening  Here I'm going to write about movie screening the Birthday party. Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?        I      The   movie when the birthday party starts at that time Lulu is present. And then the very important part of the movie she is npt present in the movie. When somebody rapes on her. She becomes a victims of someone. At that time In the play she is present and she blams on Maccann. This scene is not present in the movie. Maybe director wants focus on the Stanley's character or his situation.

Yes, I feel the effect of Lurking danger while viewing the movie. When S...

  Thinking Activity : Waiting for Godot. (1) What connection do you see in the setting (“A country road. A tree.Evening.”) of the play and these paintings?    In this picture two people are there. Both have desire. This picture also suggests that they are waiting for something. But In picture Longing is the theme of this painting. So Samuel Beckett inspired by this painting and then he writes "Waiting for Godot". In the painting they have desire but for which things, maybe they have desire to meet with God and to get position in Heven. So when we look towards painting we find that In painting they have desire and then when we look towards Beckett's play both waiting for something. So maybe In painting and In play both have same reason for waiting and for desire.    (2) The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act II on the barren tree - The tree has four or five leav...

 Thinking activity :Interpretation challenge.  The Task given by Dilip Barad sir ..          In this video, there is a sound of breathing and crying and different things are used which are useless and used in work.     In the Video we can interpret the breaths with life and death. In the other Idea adopted version we see the light and darkness, so we can connect the light with life and darkness with death.
