Brahmadatta and the Banyan Deer

The Banyan Deer convinced the human king by stating that he was ready to sacrifice his own life for the sake of his herd, the other herd, all four-footed creatures, birds and fish. After seeing his humility and concerns for all the creatures, the human king declared to spare all the creatures' lives and forsake hunting. He declared to free all the animals, birds and fish. He stated that no one shall be trapped, hunted and killed.

8. What makes the story read like an ancient tale?

Answer:

By an ancient tale, we understand a kind of tale that is based on fiction with fictitious characters whose act reveals moral lessons for all the readers. The story of "Brahmadatta and the Banyan Deer" is an ancient tale (fable) that contains all the fictitious characters, especially humans and animals with a wonderful theme of compassion and pity. Moreover, it is based on the Jatak Katha of Buddhism Mythology and the Buddha himself had incarnated as a deer. The presence of all these evidences in the story make this story read like an ancient tale.

9. What is the moral lesson of this story?

Answer:

The moral lesson of this story is the duty and responsibility of the king towards his citizens. The story reveals the fact regarding the duty of the king. Every king should always be ready to take care of his citizens and protect them from harm. 

In a similar way, all living beings should have qualities of compassion and pity for their happy survival.

10. Why do you think the Buddha was born as a deer?

Answer: I think the Buddha was born as a deer because he wanted to teach human beings the lessons of compassion, kindness, non-violence and harmony to ensure the existence of all beings harmoniously.

Describe Cordelia street where Paul lived.

Answer: Cordelia Street where Paul lived is located in the state of Newark in America.  It was a very dignified street where all the houses were the same.  There lived middle-class merchants with their large families and children.  All the children went to a Christian school.  Paul's house was next to the Cumberland minister's house.  Paul always hated his street.

5. Describe Paul's activities in New York.

Answer: After fleeing to New York along with stolen money, he buys various essential things for himself. He buys different types of clothes, shoes, hats, bags and jewellery.  He also buys a gun.  Next, he moves to Waldorf hotel and books a room for himself on the eighth floor.  He spends the rest of the day sightseeing in New York and then heads to a grand dinner.

He is satisfied to see other people in the restaurant not talking to any of them.  Paul enjoys himself a lot and feels himself as he is a part of New York society and loves knowing that his clothes help him fit in.  The next day, Paul meets a Yale University college student at the hotel and the two spend the whole night on the town.  He spends his seven days happily in New York.

6. How did Paul end his life and why?

Answer: Paul ended his life by jumping in front of arriving train on the train track. He committed suicide because he was fed up with his boring life.  He was fed up with his monotonous school, home and the same street where the middle-class people lived.  He desired to live a luxurious life but his dream remained unfulfilled.  Therefore, he killed himself when his expectations were not met.

7. What did Paul do just before jumping/dying?

Answer: Before jumping onto the train track, Paul buried a red carnation under the snow.  He fell asleep for a while.  His teeth were chirping.  On hearing the sound of the train, he jumped in front of the moving train and ended his life.

8. What is the setting of the story?

Answer: The setting of the story mainly refers to the time and place where events of the story take place. Here in this story, we find the setting of Newark, America and different other places as Paul's school named Pittsburg High School, his home, Opera House, his company, railway track and New York City. But the story does not explicitly mention the time (year, historical period) of this story.

9. What is the main theme of the story?

Answer: The main theme of this story is isolation and ambition. This story has presented Paul's isolation due to his boring and monotonous life in most places of Pittsburgh. His ambition is quite high and he desires to be part of standard living style where money plays a very vital role. His hatred towards middle-class people can be easily in the story. In the present time, most youngsters run after money and standard living forgetting reality. Due to their high ambition, they seem alienated and depressed and commit very bad deeds in society.

Long Questions

1.      Do you call Rakesh a devoted son? Give reasons.

Yes, I call Rakesh a devoted son. He always did whatever his parents have advised or wanted him to do like; good academic performance, crucial part of a boy’s life which is marriage, and also choosing to get back to his own nation and live with his family though he could earn a lot of more money living in the USA. Though Rakesh stucked at some part of giving his father a happy life but he had tried his best. He always used to separate time for his old father despite of being very busy in his professional life. He never wanted his father to suffer. Hence, I think that Rakesh is a devoted son in the sense that he is able to put his own wishes aside for their betterment.

c. A Nepali proverb says “Neighbors are companions for wedding procession as well as for funeral procession.” Does this proverb apply in the story? Justify.

Yes, this proverb applies in the story. Neighbours are the real companions of life who keep on passing their lives with us in various situations.

Here in the story, we find the nieghbours involvement in various events. The story has mainly focused on three close neighbours who are seen living their lives sharing and caring for eachother. We find the concept of share, care and help among the neighbours in the story. During the pregnancy, the young woman was cared, assured, presented gifts by people of her neighbourhood. These neighbours are seen passing time teaching each other, enjoying and shouting, living in a neighborhood. Thus neighbours in the story are seen as the best companions as mentioned in the proverb.

12 killed in a Bus Accident’

Kurintar, Chaitra 23 (RSS)

A day bus (Na 5 Kha 234) going to Kathmandu from Hetauda collided with a truck at Kurintar at 2:15 pm. The bus carrying about sixty passengers was in a high speed where suddenly the brakes of the bus failed and it collided with a truck that was coming from opposite side. When it collided with the truck, there was a loud sound of bursting. One of the local said, “We were having our meal when we heard a loud sound of collide nearby and hurried towards the sound. When we reached there, we found many passengers trapped and crying for help.” It is also reported that eight passengers who sat in the front seat of the bus were killed in the spot. Two passengers were killed on the way and other two were killed in the hospital while undergoing treatment. Fourteen are seriously injured and are sent to Kathmandu in an ambulance. Both the drivers are in police custody now. The further investigation is going on.

4.      A strange dream you have dreamt in your life.

Last night I dreamed a strange but interesting dream. In my dream a snake was chasing me. I was running away from the snake. Suddenly wings grew up from my hand and I flew in the sky. I felt relieved while flying in the sky. Everybody was looking at me from the road, house and ground. Then at last I landed on the ground. There was a crowd of people looking up at me.  

Then again when I tried to fly, I could not. I check my hand and noticed that my wings were gone.  I was in total confusion. I stopped for a while and realized that everything I saw was dream. I found myself in my bed.

5.      The review of a film you have recently seen

A few day ago I saw a Nepali film named “Buhari” which means daughter in law. film was very interesting, humorous and ironical as well. The main characters of the film were Shree Krishna Shrestha, Jala Shah, Sunil thapa, Neer Shah and so on. There was a great crowd of people in Jai Nepal Cinema Hall to watch this film. The songs of the film were popular and heart touching. No one could help laughing when Shree Krishna Shrestha and Sunil Thapa appear in saris and blouses as beautiful ladies.

The story of the film was based on the social problem deeply rooted in Nepalese society. In our society, the daughter- in –laws have to face many problems. If the daughters in law cannot bring a lot of dowry, they are insulted and humiliated in the family as well as society. In the film “Buhari” Jala Shah is not accepted as daughter in law due to her poor family background as a result she has to face many obstacles. In life when she gives birth to her son Shree Krishna Shrestha, hi father is not ready to accept her as his wife in the beginning. But at last the hero and his father realized their faults. This leads to happy reunion of the family and they live happily ever after.

Very less violence has been used in the film. The dialogues, action, music and costumes of the film are very much realistic and based on Nepali society.

 

 

 

 

 

6.      Write a letter to the editor in chief of a newspaper explaining about a road problem of your locality.

Kshetrapur, Narayangarh

15^th Sep. 2023

To

The Editor in Chief

The Kathmandu Post,                     

Kathmandu, Nepal

                   

I shall feel highly grateful to you if you publish the following lines in your newspaper.

All the people of our area want waking up. Private appeals and requests have had no effects. Perhaps, little publicity will do no harm. For nearly one year, Kshetrapur to Baseni road has been almost impassable. The surface of the pitch is badly broken up by the heavy rain and over flow of heavy trucks and buses. As a result, there are large pits in the middle of the road. Both the sides of the road have been overtaken by the local people.

Moreover, there are heaps of sand, stones and bricks on both sides. That leaves very little place in the middle only that is full of pits. The vehicles have to be driven slowly and still there is a great possibility of accident. I am sure the public will bring pressure on those responsible authorities. Thus, I want to draw the attention of the concerned authority to take quick steps for repairing the road as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully

Hemanta Parajuli

Loneliness in Of Mice n Men

In addition to dreams, humans crave contact with others to give life meaning. Loneliness is present throughout this novel. On the most obvious level, we see this isolation when the ranch hands go into town on Saturday night to ease their loneliness with alcohol and women. Similarly, Lennie goes into Crook's room to find someone with whom to talk, and later Curley's wife comes for the same reason. Crooks says that a guy goes nuts if he doesn’t find anybody to talk to. Even Slim mentions that I have seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That isn’t good. They don't have fun. After a long time they get mean.

George's taking care of Lennie and the dream of the farm are attempts to break the pattern of loneliness that is part of the human condition. Similarly, Lennie's desire to pet soft things comes from his need to feel safe and secure, to touch something that gives him that feeling of not being alone in the world. For Lennie, the dream of the farm parallels that security.

George and Lennie, however, are not the only characters who struggle against loneliness. Although present in all the characters to some degree, the theme of loneliness is most notably present in Candy, Crooks, and Curley's wife. They all fight against their isolation in whatever way they can. Until its death, Candy's dog stopped Candy from being alone in the world. After its death, Candy struggles against loneliness by sharing in George and Lennie's dream. Curley's wife is also lonely; she is the only female on the ranch, and her husband has forbidden anyone to talk with her. She combats her loneliness by flirting with the ranch hands. Crooks is isolated because of his skin color. As the only black man on the ranch, he is not allowed into the bunkhouse with the others, and he does not associate with them. He combats his loneliness with books and his work, but even he realizes that these things are no substitute for human companionship.

Steinbeck reinforces the theme of loneliness in subtle and not so subtle ways. In the vicinity of the ranch, for example, is the town of Soledad. The town's name, not accidentally, means "solitude" or "alone." Also, the others' reactions to George and Lennie traveling together reinforces that, in Steinbeck's world, traveling with someone else is unusual. When George and Lennie arrive at the ranch, four other characters — the boss, Candy, Crooks, and Slim — all comment on the suspicious nature of two guys traveling together. This companionship seems strange and, according to at least the boss and Curley, the relationship is sexual or exploitative financially.

 

Critically appreciatiate the essay A Piece of Chalk

One sunny morning, G.K. Chesterton (writer) puts on a hat, a walking stick and some chalks and set off to draw some pictures. He needed paper for drawing. But he didn't have any. So he went to the kitchen to ask the landlady if she can give him a brown paper. She thought he needed it for packing something but he tells her he wanted it for drawing. She then offered note paper but writer told her that he wanted brown paper for its brownness. 

He then explains why brown paper was necessary that it appeals his imagination like brownness of trees in autumn, or beer, or dim light in early days of creation. He further says that coloured chalks can create fire gold or brightness of stars on brown paper. 

Then he tells about importance of small things like pocket knife and goes towards chalk mountains. Mountains are best quality of England. They are huge and mighty yet merciful or the cottages woukd have been engulfed. Similarly England is powerful but people there are kind and courteous. 

He will not draw natural things but will draw the pictures of devils, seraphims, angel, saint, holy men etc. He says that Homer and Vergil didnt1 understand nature exactly like Wordsworth but their approach was indirect. They used to stare at the falling white snow for great lengths of time, but they expressed it by just drawing a holy virgin in a white robe. They used to look at the vast expanse of greenery all around them, but when it came to expressing their impression, they drew a Robin Hood in his green attire. 

When the author found a rock to sit on and began to draw, he discovered that he had left the white chalk piece behind. The white coloured chalk is indispensable for drawing. For painters white is the colour to express a positive feeling, especially if the drawing was to be made on brown papers. 

He was disappointed to find he had no white chalk with him as without it drawing would be lifeless. White is not just an absence of colour but is itself a sharp and definite one. It makes stars. Morality is similar.  Virtue is like white colour in religion. God creates the most magnificent in white like men of virtue and paradigm of creation. 

He was frustrated to not have white chalk. He thought his picture would remain incomplete. It would be tragedy. Without white, the picture would be like thinking of a world with no good man in it. 

Suddenly, an idea ticked to his mind and he started laughing loudly. He felt like a man who was standing at Sahara desert and searching for handful of sand. He felt like a man who was standing in the middle of the ocean and worrying about not having a little salt water. 

He realised that the hill where he was standing was entirely made of white chalk. He became happy, picked a piece of white stone and completed his drawing. Chesterton became so happy after he finished the drawing that he compares the white rock to the white chalk and sees no difference. He may have started out without a piece of white chalk but the end is different. Through his ingenuity and resilience Chesterton has managed to finish his drawing. A drawing that he himself is proud of and expects that others will be proud of too. Chesterton has taken what could have been a tortuous day and turned into a day of ingenuity and happiness.
