HOME ASSIGNMENT; •  Write a note an realism. Explain one of the Tolstoy story on it. 👉🏻 Realism is a literary and artistic movement that emerged in the mid-19th century, aiming to depict contemporary life and society exactly as they are, without romantic idealisation or supernatural elements. 🔸 What is realism? Instead of focusing on heroic figures, grand myths, or emotional extremes (which were common in Romanticism), Realism shines a light on everyday, middle- and lower-class characters dealing with ordinary, often harsh, realities. Tolstoy’s realism plays a fascinating role in both contexts, particularly through his short story/parable "Father Sergius", which directly critiques the traditional, religious concept of canonization and sainthood. The Story: "Father Sergius" In "Father Sergius", Tolstoy uses his trademark realism to dismantle the romanticized, legendary idea of Christian saints and official church canonization. 1. The Plot: The story foll...

CLASS ASSIGNMENT; • Discuss about metaphysical poet. What is metaphysical poetry? Ans. 👉🏻Metaphysical poetry is a style of 17th-century English verse characterized by its highly intellectual, witty, and analytical approach to deep human themes like love, religion, morality, and existence.

For example, a poet might compare two separated lovers to the two legs of a mathematical drawing compass, or the union of two people to a tiny flea that has bitten them both. Intellectual Wit: These poems are not just outpourings of pure emotion. They read like intellectual puzzles or legal arguments.

Scientific and Global Imagery: Writing during the Age of Discovery, these poets rejected standard mythological references. Instead, they packed their poems with ...

1) What do you understand about self awareness?  Explain with example. In simple terms, self-awareness is the ability to look in a mirror and truly understand what makes you tick. It is about stepping back to observe your own thoughts, emotions, triggers, and habits without judging yourself. Think of it as becoming the author of your life story, instead of just a character reacting blindly to whatever happens next. 🚗 The Red Light Example; Imagine you are driving and someone suddenly cuts you off in traffic. Without self-awareness:  You instantly slam on your horn, scream at the driver, and let that anger ruin the next two hours of your day. With self-awareness :  You feel the sudden surge of anger, but you catch yourself. You realize, "Wow, my heart is pounding. I’m furious, but reacting wildly won't change anything, and I don't want to carry this negative energy into my day." You take a deep breath and let it go. By noticing your feelings before you rea...

Public speaking gives you the power to connect those pieces. It helps you organize your thoughts so others can easily understand them. Whether you are explaining a project to ...
