Can technology replace teacher ?

Can technology replace teachers ?

Respected sir

We  know that A modern classroom is defined by technology these days .But Here question that Can technology replace teachers ? And as a my point of view no technology is not replace teacher . we know that now a days technology is a very useful but  teacher is more helpful .For example when we learn through Google and many other website but we can't understand everything through these and then teachers guidance became more helpful to understand and also  helps students to find their strengths.

Technology can never come close to the knowledge and life experience but teacher can .Here I don't say that Technology is  disturbance because of We can’t imagine now a day without technology but teacher is equally important to learn .Now a days many teachers used technology in classroom New educational technologies will not only energize the students, but teachers as well. 

3 So technology is very important in the future of education. But not as big a role as that of a teacher.

“Technology will never replace great teachers, But technology in the hands of a great teacher can be transformational.” George Corous.

Thank you...

" The Birthday Party".

Respected Sir

Here I am sharing my view about  post viewing task " The Birthday Party".

1) Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?

Ans.   Two scenes of lulu omitted from the movie because two woman characters as contrast to man characters in the play. And Harold Pinter also shows that man character much stronger rather then women, the audience would focus on the character of a woman who was abused by men and Lulu would have been judged as victim rather than the protagonist.

2) Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?

Ans.  Yes, movie is successful in giving us the effect of menace. I am not reading full text or play But  i see the movie so that's why I say that the movie is successful in giving us felling of menace in  the text I find that this kinds of effect in conversation between Goldberg- McCann and Stanley. And in this movie we find that many things create the atmosphere of menace like knocking of the door, toy drum, tearing the newspaper, laughing, screaming etc. In this play where each and every character passing one or unknown fear.

3) Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the text

Ans.  Yes, I can feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing play. First that When they all playing the game blind man's bluff and Suddenly lights off at that time I feel lurking danger and Other side we also see in the movie that the effect of sound and the movement of camera also show us that the lurking danger.

4)What do you read in 'newspaper' in the movie? Petey is reading newspaper to Meg, it torn into pieces by McCain, pieces are hidden by Petey in last scene.

Ans.   The Newspaper is  symbolize hidden the reality, also tools of communication and  the relationship between husband and wife. We can see that when movie start at that time Petey read newspaper and Meg is completely unaware about reality so it shows that husband has knowledge about world and wife has away from the reality. 

5) Camera is positioned over the head of McCain when he is playing Blind Man's Buff and is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage (trap) when Stanley is playing it. What interpretations can you give to these positioning of camera? 

Ans.     When all the characters playing the game blind man's buff at that time camera focus on the head of McCan , When the turn of Stanley come at that time camera is positioned at the top with a view of room like cage and it tries to teach people that if someone tries to break the rules. 

6)"Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue, where people are at the mercy of one another and pretense crumbles." (Pinter, Art, Truth & Politics: Excerpts from the 2005 Nobel Lecture). Does this happen in the movie?

Ans.   Yes it happen in to the movie. There in the movie all character like Lulu, Meg, Petey and Stanley care for each other. 

7)How does viewing movie help in better understanding of the play ‘The Birthday Party’ with its typical characteristics (like pinteresque, pause, silence, menace, lurking danger)?

Ans.   Movie helps us better understanding of the play
because it gives more effect to menace like painteresque, pause, silence and menace . 

8) With which of the following observations you agree:

 Ans.   I agree that “It's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin. 

9)If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?

Ans.    As par my understanding this is a very good movie and everything is okay no need to change or add in the movie I like very much this movie because of it is very different and deeper. 

10)   Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?

Ans.   I would like to choose characters like this:

Stanley: Irfan Khan

Meg :     Juhi Chawla

Lulu:       Kalki koechlin

Goldberg: Imran Hasmi

McCann: John Abrahim.

Respected sir
 Movie review:"The Reluctant Fundamentalist " By Mira Nair.
This blog is a part of my class room activity of postcolonial studies film : The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

The reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid and movie directed by Mira Nair. it is a political thriller drama and film based on the 2007 novel . is focuses upon the theme of racism and an American Dream of a young man Changez Khan and his journey of becoming a reluctant fundamentalist. In this film we clearly see that relation between east and west. We find power and capitalism there. And postcolonial aspect we may say that changez has many identity.As we all know that post colonialism its all about language and Changez use their language.

                      " I am both a native of this city and a speaker of your language."
The felling of “Otherness” Changez feels in America. He becomes stranger for America because of his identity as Muslim.
We can find main things  In this movie that deep impact of racism and colonialism in mind of white people.

"Midnight Children".

Respected sir

This blog is a part of my classroom activity of postcolonial studies Film screening : "Midnight Children".

"Midnight children" this  movie based on the famous novel writer and Booker prize winner Salman Rushdie .  It was published in 1981 after independence. He uses abrogation language in his novel.  This movie is directed by Deepa mehta and screen by Salman Rushdie.this film based on India  before independent and after independent colonial and postcolonial aspect.Its about the political power and superiority.The movie deals with such a historical event like partition of India, Birth of Bangladesh, and Emergency of 1975 by Indira Gandhi . This movie start with Indian city also end with same. Saleem life run out that the political ,social ,linguistic and cultural strife faced the newly independent India.And there is meta narration of Muslim its challenge by marginalization.

At the begging of the movie show the scene of Kashmir it was shows the political thing.

When Siva and Saleem both are born at that time one Christine nurse Marry was swapped both and change the fate for their purpose. So poor become rich and rich become poor. Here Marry symbolizes for superiority of Christianity over other religions.  Little magic is also reflected with Paravti's  - Abracadabra we see in this film that character of Parvati present magic realism.Through her magic and through her magic skill she changes the situation and save saleem life.

To the light house

Here I am giving my interpretations 

1) 1) Stream of consciousness this technique is very well used in this novel by Virginia Woolf. she very well explain that how thinking makes our relations so much complicated. Because every people think differently to another people and this kind of thoughts which makes life more complicated. And here Virginia Woolf this kind of thoughts shown on each and every character and we can be also justified with this thought that "Life is Simple, People are Complicated". 

2) 
Yes,  I agree for that the novel is tribute and critique of Mrs. Ramsay  because we see that she is take care of her husband and her children's so here we can say that Mrs. Ramsay is very caring mother as well as housewife also. and when guests are come in her house and she take care very well of them. And we can compare Mrs.Ramsay with Indian women And we can read Mrs. Ramsay in context of idea of ideal Indian woman 

" Karyeshu dasi, Karaneshu manthri; Bhojeshu mata, Shayaneshu rambha; Kshamayeshu dharithri, Roopeshu lakshmi; Satkarma yukta, Kuladharma pathni"

3) 
Many symbols can be found in the novel “To the Lighthouse”. Lighthouse is the central symbol in the novel. And two characters are also symbolized here Mrs.Ramsay and Lily briscoe. 

5) Kunstlerroman novel means ‘novel about growth of an artist 'and we can also find two artist in this novel the lighthouse Lily's character and the novel itself is a struggle of an artist.In this novel the character of lily makes it 'Kunstlerron' novel.Beginning of the novel we see that Lily was started to her painting and the end of the novel we find 
the end of the novel we find that she complete her novel so here we find that artists growth in mind. 

7) yes, novel is a hard to understand to compare of movie and totally not faithful but major part is faithful. Novel language is so hard to understand and when we see this movie "To The Light house" but વોર્ડ are more powerful than the screen and same way in the movie is restricted the power of imagination. And one thing here is very important that movie and novel start and end very differently. 

Thank you... 

Yugpurush

Respected Sir

          "Yugpurush Mahatma na mahatma " it is a wonderful play. This play is about relationship between the Gandhiji and his guru Rajchandra and we can also say that good relation between them. In this play every actors were performed very well and all the characters were wearing simple costumes. Here Flashback technique used.

     Shrimadji was born on the auspicious day of Kartik purnima on 9th November, 1867 in Vavania, Gujrat .In this play we show that two life are represented one is Gandhiji and second is the Rajchandra .And this play shows the important parts of Gandhjii’s life ,that how Mohan became Mahatma. Gandhiji learned so many things from Rajchandra because he was inspired by him. 

I would like to say here one thing that this play is only praising the Rajchandra but there is also some fault because every people is not perfect same way each coin has two side

Thank you... 

Digdarshak

Here i am sharing my view about the play---Digdarshak

On 8th August at our Department of English, the Film Screening Committee organised the show of play " Digdarshak" which is written by Priyam Jani and directed by Rishit Jhaveri. Thanks to all committee member for the show. Though the central conflict in the play is about theatre vs cinema, it is richly layered to offer several universal themes.Two characters are played a vital role to cover the entire stage. The protagonist of the play, the Director, also in favor of Cinema.He dislikes talented actors joining film cinema. and the another character his son, also in favor of Cinema. we see here Art for the Art sake VS Art for the life's sake.
 
We can see that second theme was Art VS Family The director loves his art more than his family and he was not give more time for his family.


So in the conclude I would like to say that this play is beautifully directed by Rishit Jhaveri. And both the actors play a good role. Both the actors gives us good message.


Thank you...
