Why Study Literature?

Many years back when I was a student I asked my teacher why do we need to study Literature at all? I was told my by learned teacher that there are many reasons but I would be given only two- one because it is the part of the course prescribed by the board so we just can't escape from it and secondly and more importantly it would help us to understand the nuances of English Language. I wasn't fully convinced so I put a rejoinder to my previous question as why does the board prescribe such a cours

Read in English with Tara

TaraI love reading! One of my favourite stories as a child was Anne of Green Gables. This book was written for both children and adults to enjoy. In my opinion, these classics are the best types of books for adult English learners.

Anne of Green Gables is set in Canada (my country). Have you heard of Anne? She is a dramatic red-haired orphan who moves to a farm in Prince Edward Island. P.E.I. is a tiny province on the east coast of Canada.The classic itself is a bit difficult to read. It was first p

I can call myself a great lover of cinema, and, naturally, I've seen a lot of good and not very good films...Now, I'd like to tell you about one of my favourite films "American Beauty"(1999)directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. Kevin Spacey stars as a main character Lester Burnham. The film was nominated for and won many awards and honors.Why do I love this film? First of all, for a significant social and moral message that is being conveyed by a film. I'm not going to retell the plot

Is Music Important to Humanity?

I believe that music is important in our lives. In modern day life we are surrounded by music at various times of the day. At times we may hear no human-made music, but still hear the music of nature.Some may argue that the "songs" of birds, insects and frogs are not music at all but just communication. To that I respond, What is music if not communication? It can be the communication of excitement or sadness. It can be communication of joy, longing, or a religious message. Regardless of the con
