CRITICAL THINKING
a. “Down the rabbit hole” is a sort
of writing called fantasy. On the basis of your reading of the story point
out some special elements of this kind of writing?
Ans:
In
literature, through delusion, we
apprehend the literary style commonly managing subject
matters of magic and the
supernatural, imaginary worlds and creatures, etc. Fantasy offers with
fiction.
Fiction consists of the ones characters and occasions that could
not exist withinside the actual
international and life. Fantasy is an concept this is no foundation in truth.
It is quite
farfar from truth and the actual international. Fictional
creations particularly cowl people,
occasions and worlds that by no means existed and happened.
We discover such types of
people, occasions and international particularly in
books' stories, movies or movies. For example
Frankenstein, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings etc.
We discover magic in
addition to other
supernatural factors in maximum delusion creations.
These creations use these
factors as the principle plot, subject and setting.
These creations particularly gift a
warfare among desirable and evil, the cycle of the seasons, the
cycle of life-
birth, increase and demise etc.
In a delusion,
we commonly meet
characters from extraordinary implausible places. The characters
in delusion are
frequently exceptional with extraordinary implausible acts.
In maximum delusion creations, we
discover demons, ghosts, witches, fairies, princes, princesses, kings and
queens,
knights, dragons, speakme animals, angels and devils, elves, cyclops,
and
unicorns, etc. as principal characters. These characters offer their
audience
with interesting experiences. In maximum delusion creations, we
discover set in a
wizarding kingdom, in a mystical forest, in medieval times, in
a delusion international,
in heaven or a wizarding land withinside the afterlife. Most delusion writers
create
their delusion creations particularly relying at the principal subject
matters of honour,
loyalty, locating a mysterious object, finishing a quest,
sacrificing something
etc.
b. Is it good to imagine of things
which are not possible to achieve in reality? Explain.
Ans:
Yes, it is
good to imagine things that cannot be achieved in reality. Imagining
things in order to achieve something is, in my
opinion, the first step for everyone. Everyone has
to imagine that first. Imagination is the first step
that will one day lead us to success.
Most people
in the world believe that imagination is not good and far from
reality. But imagination drives people to achieve their goals.
A man without imagination is useless.
For such a person
there is no progress in life. People who have no
imagination find and consider everything in this world
impractical. For them, life never changes with
wonderful results. But for imaginative people, imagination is the
only way to turn dreams into reality.
Imagination is the fundamental step that shapes our
hopes, actions and behavior.
I believe that imagination
is one of the most important keys to success. It is a very
useful tool that people can use to create their prosperous future.
Imagination
is a mental activity directly related to daydreaming, wishing
and wishful thinking. Every human ambition, goal, plan,
etc. begins with imagination. Later, a person's hard
efforts turn the imagination into reality. Nothing is
impossible in this world. Efforts are required.
Many
scientists in the world should be crazy about humans. But
they brought impossible results to reality. His
imagination turned out to be real due to his engaging contribution.
They endured various insults from people, but they
continued to work hard on their imagination.
Many facts
in the world have proved and proved that a successful
person first makes a mental picture of his
goal and realizes it in very reasonable steps. The
most important aspect is you should be very aware of
your imagination. Your determination can lead you
to success. The task is not easy, but it is not
impossible either. Imaginative people can do
their best when their visions are right. If we do our best
with the right measures, we can even achieve the impossible
in our reality.
c. Do you talk to yourself when you
are in a trouble? If yes, how does it help you?
Ans:
Yes, I talk
to myself when I have problems. It helps me in several ways.
This habit of speaking helps me when I'm at a loss as
to where my stuff is. When I can't find
important things, I start talking to myself as I search. This habit
helps me find my stuff easily.Then, at
the time of the problem, this habit helps me
to immediately make plans to get rid of it or find solutions.
This habit really works in times of crisis. This habit of speaking has
saved me many times. Similarly, during times of
intense anxiety, this habit allows you
additional options to get rid of problems.
This
habit occupies our mind and makes us active and perceptive.
This habit makes you feel motivated most
of the time. It reminds us of the things that
matter most in our lives. We continue to
focus on the things that need to be done.
Thus, this habit keeps our mind very alert and gives us
more security in many situations.
WRITING
a. Narrate, in short, a folktale that
you have read or heard.
A poor boy
and his caring ways
A long time
ago there was a village called Tekanpur. In this village lived a poor boy named
Ram. He had a very old house. There he lived alone. His parents had died many
years earlier.
She didn't
even have relatives. He was his parents' only child. He was very poor but very
kind. He believed in helping others. He was orphaned at the age of 10.
Despite her
poverty, she received a great prize for her bravery from a princess. One day,
while crossing the forest of his village, he met a princess. She seemed so
nervous. When he asked her why she was nervous, she replied that a tiger was
chasing her to kill her. After a while the tiger appeared in front of Ram.
She didn't
seem scared of seeing the tiger in front of her. With all the courage he fought
with the tiger. Eventually the tiger escaped. He saved the princess's life. He
took the princess to his palace where he received awards and recognition.
The king
was overjoyed when he learned of Ram's courage. He also offered Ram to marry
the princess. Rama accepted the king's proposal. After that, Ram lived the rest
of his life in a very luxurious way. He was very content to spend his life in
the palace with his beautiful wife.
Moral of the story: We must help
those who need it.
b. Describe a strange dream that you
have seen recently.
Ans:
A Incubus
Last night
I had a terrible dream about strangers. Actually, I slept
quite late last night. After I finished my movie at 3am, I fell
asleep. After sleeping, I saw myself at a party with my
friends. I saw all my friends there in a darkened room.
They danced
to hip hop songs. I was very happy to see her and approached
her. As I approached my friends, I noticed that they were unfamiliar people with
ugly faces. Each of them carried terrible weapons. When they
saw me they got quite angry and kept chasing me to kill
me.
I escaped
from this place and went into the dense forest. I was also very scared
in the forest because they were looking for me everywhere with torches. I
hid in the bushes, but in the meantime I cried loudly when I saw a
black snake passing me. They surrounded me on all sides.
When they tried to cut me with their knives, I cried profusely and
woke up in my room too.
Actually,
I don't know the meaning of this dream, but it
has a psychological reason. The cannibal movie I saw last night
was Wrong Turn. It was a film about horrible people
who used to cut up people and eat their flesh.
When I saw this movie I was so scared that's why the
same thing is happening to me in my dream.
