How Literature shaped me ?

v How Literature Shaped me? The question is How Literature Shaped me? And I want to clarify my self very honestly here through giving the answer of this question. First of all I have a question What is Literature? When I was studied in BA, our professor asked us What is Literature? Though we studied basic about the literature in the school time, some gave the answer that Literature is the Mirror of Society, some told that Broken Mirror of Society.   But I didn’t have any definition about the Literature. Even I didn’t know what was literature though I studied in the School time. I was silent on that day when our Professor asked what is literature? The another fact is I never learnt What is Literature on those days. I studied so many Texts and many poems in BA. I always got rank in BA but I never learnt the moral of any text. I just mug up the facts and score more. So I can not connect any text with my personal life which were studied by me in BA. After B...

Girls from Yuvakatha BA studies

The story is about an eight year old Indian girl who is traveling with her pregnant mother and female siblings to her grandmother's house, and is told from the eight year old's perspective. The action of the story is pretty low-key: it tells with some detail about the rail journey of the family and the trouble the narrator gets into playing pranks on her siblings. Her mother is especially irritable; in addition to looking after three children and managing a difficult rail trip, she is pregnant with her fourth child, which she fervently hopes will be a boy. This introduces the main thematic element of the story, which is the devaluation of women in Hindi society. Although the narrator is only eight, it is apparent to her that she is considered a "pest" primarily because of her sex. For her part, the mother scolds the narrator because she too must "bend" to accommodate the males -- the mother's subjugation is explicitly sexual, in that she must cont...
