Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance; that you o‟verstep not the modesty of
nature. For anything so o‟erdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end both at the first, and now, was and is, to hold
as „twere the mirror up to nature, to show Virtue her own feature, scorn her own Image, and the very age and body of the

A novel is a long work of fiction that tells a story through the development of characters, plot, and themes. It typically consists of a series of interconnected events or episodes that are presented in a chronological order. The term "novel" comes from the Italian word "novella," which means "new" or "news."
Novels are often characterized by their length and complexity, which allow for in-depth explorations of themes and characters. They can be written in a variety of styles and genres, such as romance, mystery, science fiction, historical fiction, or literary fiction.
Drama is a genre of literature, film, television, or theater that portrays a serious or emotional story, often involving conflicts or struggles between characters. The term comes from the Greek word "drama," which means "action" or "to do."
Dramas typically feature complex characters with psychological depth, and explore themes of human nature, relationships, societal issues, or morality. They may also incorporate elements of suspense, tragedy, or comedy, depending on the tone and style of the work.
Short stories can be written in a variety of genres, including romance, horror, mystery, science fiction, and more. They can offer insight into the human experience and explore complex issues and themes in a concise and powerful way.
Reading and writing short stories can be a rewarding experience, allowing the reader and writer to explore different perspectives and emotions within a short and contained narrative. They can offer a snapshot into a character's life, a moment in time, or a glimpse into a fictional world, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.
Poetry is a form of literary expression that uses language to evoke emotions, express thoughts or ideas, or create vivid images in the reader's mind. Poems can take on a variety of forms and structures, including free verse, sonnets, haikus, ballads, and more.
Poetry often relies on the use of figurative language, such as metaphors, similes, and personification, to create a sensory experience for the reader. Poets use carefully chosen words and phrases to create rhythm, sound patterns, and other poetic devices to add layers of meaning and depth to their work.
Difference between Academic and Non Academic Writing.pptxPandyaMayuri
Academic writing and non-academic writing are two distinct styles of writing that serve different purposes and audiences. Academic writing is a formal style of writing that is typically used in academic or scholarly contexts, whereas non-academic writing refers to any writing that is not intended for academic or scholarly purposes.
Academic writing is characterized by its adherence to strict guidelines and standards of academic discourse, which are typically governed by the conventions of a specific academic discipline. It is typically objective, analytical, and evidence-based, and is intended to contribute to the body of knowledge in a particular field. Examples of academic writing include research papers, academic essays, theses, and dissertations.
The Joys of Motherhood Myth or Reality_.pptxPandyaMayuri
"The Joys of Motherhood" is a phrase that can be interpreted in many different ways, depending on an individual's personal experiences and beliefs. Some may view motherhood as a joyful and fulfilling experience, while others may view it as a difficult and challenging one. Ultimately, the reality of motherhood will vary from person to person.
In some cultures, motherhood is considered the ultimate goal for women, and is associated with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Mothers are revered and respected for their ability to raise children and pass on cultural traditions and values. In these societies, the joys of motherhood are seen as very real and tangible.
However, in other cultures, motherhood may be viewed as a burden or a sacrifice. Women may feel trapped by their maternal responsibilities, or resentful of the societal pressures to become mothers. In these contexts, the joys of motherhood may seem like a myth, a romanticized ideal that does not reflect the realities of daily life.
In modern Western societies, the reality of motherhood can vary greatly depending on a woman's individual circumstances. Some mothers may find immense joy in raising their children, while others may struggle with the demands of work, family, and personal fulfillment. In general, the joys of motherhood are often intertwined with the challenges and sacrifices that come with raising children.
Migration and Human Traffiking in Gun Island.pptxPandyaMayuri
Gun Island is a novel by Amitav Ghosh that explores the themes of migration and human trafficking. The story follows the journey of Deen, a rare books dealer from Kolkata, who travels to the Sundarbans, a vast mangrove forest in Bangladesh, to investigate the origins of an antique manuscript.
As Deen navigates through the Sundarbans, he encounters a host of characters who have been affected by migration and human trafficking. He meets refugees who have been displaced from their homes due to climate change and natural disasters, as well as victims of human trafficking who have been forced into labor and sex work.
Arising from the social turmoil of the 1960s, cultural studies is composed of elements of Marxism, poststructuralism and postmodernism, feminism, gender studies, anthropology, sociology, race and ethnic studies, film theory, urban studies, public policy, popular culture studies, and postcolonial studies: those fields that concentrate on social and cultural forces that either create community or cause division and alienation.
Karl Marx was born in 1818, one of nine children. The family lived in the Rhineland region of Prussia, previously under French rule. Both of his parents came from Jewish families with distinguished rabbinical lineages. Marx’s father was a lawyer who converted to Christianity when it became necessary for him to do so if he was to continue his legal career.

Role of Parents in Education The importance of parents for education is obvious from the direct links between people’s family background and their probability of success in and through education. Genetic factors, wealth and family networks are important for children’s education outcomes.Parent’s principal role in the family is the education and the bringing up of their children, then the main obligation of their children is to study harder and properly. For this aim, they need to be well instructed on how to study, based upon rules and principles of an appropriate learning and studying. This approach would open to them the doors of the world of a behaviorist attitude towards the work, making possible for them to get to know better the relevance of working as one of the main behaviorist elements of the human kind.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A Indian Mythical Interpretation W.B.Yeats poem the Second Coming

TOPIC : A INDIAN MYTHICAL
INTERPRETATION W.B.YEATS POEM THE
SECOUND COMING
3. Introduction of Author
William Butler Yeats
The Nobel Prize in Literature 1923
Born: 13 June 1865, Dublin, Ireland
Died: 28 January 1939, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin,
France
Residence at the time of the award: Ireland
Prize motivation: "for his always inspired poetry,
which in a highly artistic form gives expression to
the spirit of a whole nation.“
• W.B. Yeats made his debut as a poet in 1887,
but in his earlier period his dramatic production
outweighed his poetry. Along with playwright Lady
Gregory, he founded the Irish Theatre, which later
became the Abbey Theatre. His plays are often
based on Irish legends and are full of mysticism
and spiritualism
4. About poem
The ‘Second Coming’ refers to the idea that Jesus will return to
Earth towards the end of time to bring justice and order. However,
Yeats does not express a Christian interpretation of these final
days. He believed in a complex set of ideas to do with ‘gyres’,
intersecting cone-shaped spirals representing various elemental
historical and individual forces offering transitions into new worlds.
The opening eight lines of the poem offer a complex vision of an
apocalypse.
In the second section Yeats presents a disturbing image of a
sphinx ‘out of Spiritus Mundi’, which, literally, means ‘spirit of the
world’ but here refers to Yeats’s belief that every mind is linked to
a single vast intelligence. This glimpse of the new order after two
thousand years of Christianity is not a comforting one; Yeats
concludes by wondering about the nature of this ‘rough beast’ that
‘Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born’.
5. A mythical interpretation
A myth may encapsulate man to the cardinal values or virtue that characterized
A certain culture.
Despite its complexity, a myth is a simple and down-to-earth tool. It is a tool
since it aims
at understanding the mysteries that govern the world; since it attempts to
appease the potential fear that may torment humans as tormented creatures
doomed to suffer; since, most importantly, it conveys the general truths that
characterize a particular culture.
Such tormenting worries, infinite questions, and incessant attempts have
resulted in
countless myths that have gradually enriched universal culture.
W. B. Yeats’ poetry is rich in mythical symbols and imagery. He gleans the
religion and philosophy of different cultures and traditions to give his poetic
oeuvre an aura of profundity. His seminal poetic work, The Second Coming,
can be read in the light of the ancient Indian myth of Narasimha avatar, the
hum-animal hybrid incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The idea of the second coming
of Christ sounds very much like the concept of reincarnation, which lies at the
heart of Hinduism.
6. Yeats’ The Second Coming exhibits the coming on of an anti- Christ that will
shake humanity out of its stony sleep from twenty centuries. The figure is
that of a sphinx: “with lion body and the head of a man.” This ferocious
creature will incarnate to set the things right in a chaotic world where “things
are falling apart” as “the centre cannot hold” them together.
The story of Narasimha avatar finds echo in “The Second Coming”. Yeats’
poem paints a grim picture of the modern society where “the ceremony of
innocence is drowned”; similarly an innocent devotee of God like Prahalada
is also tortured by his father.
The chaos and mayhem of the modern world or the anarchy of
Hiranyakashipu’s reign could have been overcome only by an omnipotent
power acquiring the spirit of not just the human world but also of the non-
human.
7. CONCLUSION
The symbols, according to Yeats, originate in a
poets mind through divine inspiration. But
Yeats asserts, “When a man writes any work of
genius, or invents some creative action, is it not
because some knowledge or power has come
into his mind from beyond his mind? It is called
up by an image, as I think; . . . but our images
must be given to us; we cannot choose them
deliberately” (Stauffer, 1948). The image of the
anti-Christ has also come out of the Spiritus
Mundi that embodies the collective intelligence
of the whole universe shared by the individual
mind—a fact that also reinforces the
amalgamation of the Western and Eastern
myth and tradition.
