On a Caribbean island, the morning after a full moon, Makak tears through the market in a drunken rage. Taken away to sober up in jail, all that night he is gripped by hallucinations: the impoverished hermit believes he has become a healer, walking from village to village, tending to the sick, waiting for a sign from God. In this dream, his one companion, Moustique, wants to exploit his power. Moustique decides to impersonate a prophet himself, ignoring a coffin-maker who warns him he will die and enraging the people of the island. Makak, half-awake in his desolate jail cell, terrorized by the specter of his friend's corruption, clings to his visionary quest. He will try to transform himself; to heal Moustique, his jailer, and his jail-mates; and to be a leader for his people.
This Presentation is part of my M.A Study Paper about "Criticism and Indian aesthetic". Here my presentation is about Practical Criticism by I.A Richard.
A graphic presentation of the plot and characters in Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge. It is designed to facilitate the teaching of the novel to high school or community college students.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Chapter-1
• Cyrus Ginwalla - father of Feroza, Zareen Ginwalla
– mother of Feroza.
• Zareen complains about the behaviour of Feroza
and says that, “ She’s becoming more and more
backward every day.”
• Feroza didn’t attend the phonecall, if some one
whom she did not know speak in the phone. She
objects to her mother wearing sleeveless blouse
to the school.
• Zareen told Cyrus that they must send Feroza to
America and Manek will look after her.
3. • Manek was Zareen’s younger brother, only six
years older than Feroza.
• Cyrus accepted to think about it. When Zareen
started talking about Feroza, Cyrus thought about
the incident which happened a week earlier.
When he returned from his sports store, he saw
Feroza talking to an unknown youngman. He
came to ask Feroza to act in a play, but she
refused saying that her father won’t like it.
4. Chapter-2
• Cyrus was glad Feroza didn’t discuss the incident
with Zareen. Zareen was seventeen, when she
married Cyrus. Zareen developed headache
thinking about the response of Cyrus. She felt
guilty that she had not visited Data Gunj Baksh’s
shrine. She said a short Zoroastrian prayer,
invoking Sarosh Ejud, the Angel of Success Who
Protects Mankind With Effective Weapons. When
Feroza returned from her school both of them
went to Data Sahib.
5. • Zareen and Feroza went to the women’s
section covering their head with dopattas.
Zulfikar ali, Bhutto’s sister was at the tomb.

attend any parties and avoided her parents’
evening guests.
6. Chapter-3

evenings for the trunk call to America. On the
fourth evening, Cyrus told the operator that
he want to talk to the party at once, as his
mother’s died. The call was connected to

Feroza to America for three months. Manek
said he will look after her. Feroza was happy
about going to America. A week later Cyrus
came home with the Airlines ticket for Feroza.
7. • Khutlibai, Zareen’s mother came to her house.
She inquired about each servant’s health and
their families’ welfare. Khutlibai asked Zareen
why do they want to send Feroza to America? She
is too innocent and young to be sent there.
Zareen’s lips were quivering and felt like a four
year old child before her mother. The ayah came
with the soup and she escaped to the bathroom.
While drinking the soup Khutlibai made a noise.
Zareen asked her mother to stop that noise and
said that she hates that noise and even feels
ashamed of her.
8. • Khutlibai left the house angrily. Next morning she
phoned Zareen to come and see her. Zareen visited her
mother the next afternoon in her house in Punj-Mahal
Road. Khutlibai and Sorabji Junglewalla had moved to
the house in 1940.
• The walls of the drawing room were decorated with
the portraits of dead ancestors. Faredoon Junglewalla,
her great-grandfather and Putlibai, her great-
grandmother.
• Zareen informed her mother that Feroza is going to
America the next Friday and Manek will look after her.
9. • Khutlibai told her about how Manek in
childhood days chased her with gun and

push her into a well. But Zareen convinced her
mother saying Manek will surprise them and
will take care of Feroza .

• Two weeks before they informed Manek about
flight details and he assured them that he would

wanted her to buy a cassette player and a camera
for him there.

fire temple agyari. She prayed to Ahura Mazda to
protect her and give her power. She looked at the
atash, the holy fire.

followed by Soonamai, uncles and aunts.
• In the airport schoolgirls from Sacred Heart Convent
came. Zareen’s brother Behram and his wife Jeroo had

given Feroza one hundred American dollars, purchased
on the black market and so had Khutlibai.

for Manek at the Dubai Duty-Free. In the

number of questions and she felt very difficult
as they didn’t believe whatever she said.
13. • Feroza said that she is going to stay with her
uncle. She was again asked to go for secondary
inspection. She told them that he was a student
but also works at two other jobs to make extra
money. It was a crime for foreign students to
work. Manek came and informed them that he
was a student at M.I.T and he works in the
university cafeteria. They doubted that Feroza has
come here to marry Manek and repeated the
same to her. Manek confirmed that she will leave
after three months and both of them signed a
form.
14. Chapter-6
• Manek tells Feroza that they can spend one week
in Newyork and then get back to Cambridge.
• At two in the morning Manek and Feroza reached
YMCA on Broadway. She gave him the fawn-and-
blue cardigan knitted by his sister. She was
surprised by his uncharacteristic behaviour.
• When Manek booked room in YMCA, he came to
know that 15th floor was reserved for married
couples and 22nd floor for women only. So he
booked a room in the 15th floor.
15. • Manek called her boochimai, and left her in
the women’s restroom. There she saw some
men and ran to the room to inform Manek.He
told her that it was women’s restroom and

and Feroza told her that she saw two men.

visiting museums again and insisted on
window-shopping on Fifth Avenue.

he had moved to the two-story, three bedroom
house in Somerville. He scolded the Pakistani,
Jamil, for not having taken care of his golden fish.
• Feroza behaved disrespecfully before his friend.
He recalled how there was nobody to teach him
about how to behave in the new place.
• That afternoon they went out for a drive across
the Charles river in his fifth-hand, two-door 1971
Ford. He bought it for sixty dollars from the girl
who gave him the golden fish.
21. • Feroza was able to understand the humiliations
endured by Manek in an alien land. Manek told
her about the accident he had in New York. He
had spent a weekend in Southbridge, near
Connecticut-Massachusetts border. He was hit by
a car and severely bruised, lain there in the snow
and no car stopped to help him. He walked six
hours to get to a hospital. This had happened
almost a year ago and he didn’t write about it to
his mother.
22. • He had told her about the free food offered
for desi students every evening in Houston’s
bars. They went to Newbury street, where a
hair cut costs two hundred dolllars, and then
Public Garden and down Marlborough street.

• Manek told her about Father Fibs, who was a
storyteller. He was known for rendering long
passages from Hamlet and Othello.

routine life. When he was out Feroza used to
watch a small black and white TV.

• Later he told them that in future how like a bird
when they start to fly they will fall and it will hurt
them. But they should not be frightened for their
wings will become stronger.
