Crushing of The Soul.

Birds should be caged,
They should not be free to fly high.
They should stay behind the bars;
They should not feel the joy of green grass.
Birds must stay away;
From the trees, flowers and beautiful bay;
Twigs and trunks and branches that sways,
Breaking the harsh wind and snowy storms,
Breaking their hearts and desires in a way,
That they warn those birds to be aware.
This green is so kind that it tries to save;
Those little feathers to be crushed away.
As it knows; this living is living but, yet not living,
In your heart and mind, it’s a constant suicide, it’s a constant killing.

Stream of consciousness In The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner.

Stream-of-consciousness is  a technique through which the writer sketches the thinking patterns of his character. The time runs according to the internal clock of the character’s mind, real time does not exist when the thought runs in the mind of the character. The writer explains the traits and personality of the character through his/her psychological patterning. This technique has been used by many writers but, James Joyce and Virginia Wolf are famous for the apt use of this technique in their novels. Stream-of-consciousness comes under the title of modern fiction. Though Virginia Wolf is not considered as pure modern novelist yet, she is famous of using stream-of-consciousness in her novel To The Lighthouse. The novel under discussion has many ways to present the technique of Stream-of-consciousness. Faulkner has not merely used the technique but, he has made it more complicated yet attractive and effective. His use of the technique is not merely the representation of the ...

A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF KHALED HOSSEINI'S A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS.

Lili lili birthbath, Sitting on a dirt path, Minnow sat on a rim and drank, Slipped, and in the water she sank. ( Hosseini , A Thousand Splendid Suns 21). I have selected A Thousand Splendid Suns as the text of my study because it supports my argument. The argument of my study is that women in Afghanistan have no prestige and they enjoy no agency in their patriarchal society. Since Hossieni’s fiction is not been tapped in terms of feminist readings, I have invoked feminist theory to critically analyze Hosseini’s text.  The primary focus of this study is the aspect of feminism in the novel and how author has described his ideas about women and their miseries in a patriarchal society. In the novel, the author paints a picture of two women, their love, emotions and sacrifices, how both of them struggle in their lives and how by fate they meet and build a great and unbreakable bonding with each other. In the study I will find the traditions of Afghan community and the ...
