Dead Poets Society is a 1989 film that tells the story of a group of young boys at an all-boys prep school in the 1950s. The film follows the story of John Keating, an unorthodox English teacher who inspires his students to think for themselves and to seize the day. One of Keating's students, Neil Perry, is particularly moved by Keating's teachings and begins to challenge the strict rules and expectations of his privileged and controlling father. Tragically, Neil ultimately takes his own life, unable to reconcile his desire for personal freedom and self-expression with the rigid expectations and demands placed upon him by his father and society.
Neil's suicide serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of conformity and the importance of individual expression. Throughout the film, Neil is shown struggling to find his own voice and to assert his own identity in the face of overwhelming pressure to conform to societal expectations. His father, a wealthy and successful businessman, expects Neil to follow in his footsteps and become a doctor, despite Neil's deep passion for acting.
Despite his initial resistance, Neil ultimately succumbs to the pressure and enrolls in pre-med courses, much to the delight of his father. However, as Neil becomes more involved in the Dead Poets Society, a secret club founded by Keating that encourages its members to think for themselves and to challenge the status quo, he begins to feel more confident in his own desires and opinions. He eventually stands up to his father and declares his intention to pursue a career in acting, a decision that ultimately leads to his suicide.
Neil's suicide is a tragic and devastating outcome, but it serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for oneself and following one's own passions and desires, even in the face of societal expectations and pressures. It is a reminder that conformity can be deadly, and that it is essential to find and embrace one's own individuality and authenticity, no matter the cost.
The Dark Room (Narayan novel)
Now this room has always greatly interested me when I was a kid. I can almost breathe the various different smells in the streets which are blended by the movement of innocent people of Malgudi if not for this reality trying to disrupt my fantasy of perfect Indian not so populated little town in the south of India. Kings can and are expected to show their angry publically and using agressive methods, queens can't. She comes to discover how as a poor woman starting her life afresh, she won't have many things she had come to consider neccesities in her middle-class life - electricity being one of them. Narayan sir was going through a loss, the loss of his beloved wife. I can not get the logic of having a seperate room to dine in, when your bed is such a comfortable place. I mean what was this room like? She suddenly questions herself- "her" children? According to the legend, princess Savitri marries an exiled prince named Satyavan, who was prophesied to die early.
Malgudi, the perfect imaginary hometown for me. Where can we find Ponni, who does not want to let Savitri alone until she is satisfied with her hospitality to others. More than any other book I've read by him. She can see that the woman behind the wallpaper wants to escape, but she herself does not have the courage to get up and walk out of the room. Here the male has no regret or shame for his behaviour rather, he is blaming his wife in the charge of ingratitude. The one who takes care of her three little kids and husband with almost religious commitment. Now, if I was to make such a room, I should like the walls to be dark red and black, a punching bag with Sherlock Homes' picture on it etc.
Stories like Savitri was common few decades ago and even today such stories exist. Her two daughters grow up in this home seeing their mother unhappy and when they are old enough, they accept it as a part of their lives. Men have to bear many worries and burdens, and you must overlook it if they are sometimes unreasonable. Savitri's mornings, days and nights end up with trying to please her husband and taking care of the household. Only the situation is wildly different. The Dark Room is another piece of R. Her husband seems more interested in flattering and pleasing the other woman.
First half - 5 stars for it is just brilliant! The reason is she can't show her anger in more direct ways without taking a fall in her social standing. It is by some considerable margin the longest of her works, the UK first edition running to 544 pages. Each also fails to really understand their privileged positions as compared to those of lesser station who stoically accept poverty and powerlessness.

She gets so obstinate about not taking any more charity from anyone that she starts working at a temple as a cleaner for a cantankerous priest.
During his trials, he captures the essence of war in Berlin on film and finally joins the German Army as Berlin falls to the Russian forces. A Change of Climate is a novel by English author Hilary Mantel, first published in 1994 by Viking Books. Although the ordinary tensions of maturing are heightened by the particular circumstances of pre-partition India, Narayan provides a universal vision of childhood, early love and grief. I found it curious how there are many parallels between this story and Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre". She works as a temple custodian. The novel has also been identified as one of the best of the 1990s.
Everything was perfect but why did i gave 4 star to such beautiful story. They start to guess what is going to happen from the way he honks as he returns from his office. In 1980 he was awarded the A. The Dark Room has a poignant theme, but Narayan struggles with the writing and is unable to etch out the deeper nunances inherent in the story. Then after a while the wife starts seeing an image of a woman being trap in the wallpaper. It is perhaps the time I take to fully soak all that I had been reading till them, the time given for my soul to drench in all the emotions that the reading had produced in me. Her husband even takes her favorite bench so that he can use it to decorate the other woman's house.
It is a bad habit. It reflects the unfair conservatism of a society which has been set up in a way where it is always easy to lead life as a male rather than a female. Benson Medal by the Royal Society of Literature and in 1982 he was made an Honorary Member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Light is the celebrated hero, but isn't in darkness that we feel more comforted when in grief? We can assume the clear picture of a South Indian society from the detailed. But overcome by fear, she shouts out for help. Unable to come to terms with his grandfather's crimes, Micha disassociates himself from his family, who Micha sees as unwilling to face reality. Her biggest worry, however, is her daughters whom she left at home.
I am not a vagabond to come in and go out without a purpose. Ironically it's another man that convinces her of her duties set in religious doctrines that keeps the family unit together. Still, every now and then one hears of a not-so-flattering comment about Narayan's prose. He brings along his wife, Ponni who tries to befriend Savitri. However much serious a topic is in Narayan's novel, humor always a place.
