Webquest: Harry Potter: Think and Write.

1) Feminist Reading Of Harmoine's Character in 'Harry Potter'.


Hermione is the perfect example when examining the feminist principles in the novels. Throughout the series she has many strengths and weaknesses, but she is mostly criticized about her weaknesses as a character. She is attacked at school a lot for being too bossy, whiny, or studious, but these all ignore the fact that she has many strengths as well. However, Harry Potter is different in the sense that you can find a ton of important women in the series, as well as men, and there is no difference in the genders. Hermione fights battles differently than do the boys in the novels, she uses her reason and logic in order to solve problems and mysteries, and her strength can be seen from this. 

 













In the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione shows her true feminist beliefs when she starts “The Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare” in order to showcase her ideals that house elves shouldn’t be treated poorly, and to help them get equal treatment. Hermione did not give up, and she kept on fighting for the rights of elves, proving to be a feminist because she is fighting for equal treatment of another species who cant fight for themselves. She is a feminist and a good role model because she works really hard to demonstrate that even though she is a girl, she is just as good as the boys. She proves to everyone that she is intelligent, faithful, and courageous.

2) The Theme Of Love and Death.

 The theme of love and death goes parallel from the very beginning of the novel. Here Harry is representing love and Voldamort is representing the death. Though both the characters are grow without family but one is (Harry) is surrounded by friends as love and the other (Voldamort) is also surrounded by friends but in form of followers and they are there out of fear. J.K.Rowling is trying to give the ultimate truth of life that though Harry is a good fellow but he can’t escape from the death. Death is the reality of everybody’s life.



3) Children's Literature and Harry Potter.

The novel is related to the children literature it means that the children literature books were related to the ideas of Self observing it means that children should like those things which were directly related with their Self existence and Self learning also   So we can say that J.K Rowling has created the new world into the novel which is directly connected to the speculative literature as we can see the children's literature.

Actions are full of physical  thoughts which rely into thoughts and actions real action will not happening into the 'Swami  and friend,' We can also say that it is a Gothic element which rely into the  curious  desire to face the frightening things which likes children most.  In Harry Potter mostly all the scene were related to the magic and power of reality and a different world which is not possible into the real world also. So children like those things which related to power and magic as well as a different world also.

Palanquin Bearers.

Palanquin Bearers-  Sarojini Naidu. Summary. Palanquin bearers is a melodious poem. The poem describes the scene of a bride being carried on a palanquin. The poem generates images of royal wives being carried on a palanquin to their husbands house. The men who carried the palanquin felt that their job was special and did it with much happiness. The similies in the poem point to the fact that the men did not feel that their job was tiresome. Some examples of the same are, 'Softly, O softly we bear her along', 'She hangs like a star in the dew of our song' and 'Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing'. Palanquin bearers is melodious and one of the most appealing poems of Sarojni Naidu. The poem describes the beauty of the bride while she is being carried in a palanquin. We are reminded of one of the ancient customs of carrying royal brides in India in decorated carriages to their husband’s home. Occasionally, the men of the royal families would trav...

The Dance of the Eunuchs.

The Dance of the Eunuchs - Kamala Das. Summary- Included in the collection Summer in Calcutta(1965), 'Dance of the Eunuchs' is one of the most remarkable poems of Kamala Das. This is another autobiographical poem written in confessional style that symbolically portrays the poetess's personal melancholy in her own life.  'Dance of the Eunuchs' vividly conjures up the atmosphere of a hot, tortured, corrupt, sterile and barren world through vivid symbols and images. The dance of the eunuchs whose joyless life reflects the poet‘s fractured personality is a noticeable piece of autobiographical poetry. Kamala Das has vividly visualized the world of vacant ecstasy and sterility through numerous functional images and symbols in her poetry. In fact Eunuchs try to eke out a livelihood by dancing. Their dancing is mechanical and painful. The conditions and the climate are forbidding. The spectators are merciless. Even God seems to add their woes. The eunuchs...

Bangle sellers

Bangle sellers - Sarojini Naidu Summary A group of bangle sellers is on its way to the temple fair to sell their bangles. One of them is the narrator of this poem. They are an impoverished and marginalized group of people whose income from the sales of their bangles is at the best of times uncertain and very meagre. However the bangles they sell are of religious and symbolic importance: no Indian widow is permitted to wear bangles.   Hence the wearing of bangles is considered to be very auspicious and of symbolic value bordering on the religious. What is of great significance in the poem is that the bangle seller does not say a word about his/her  poverty, nor does he/she  say anything about the profit that he/she intends to make by selling his/her bangles at the temple fair where he/she will certainly do roaring sales. On the contrary he/she only concentrates on  the human element of the product   Sarojini Naidu has foregrounded...
