The story is about a man named Mr. Mead who takes a nightly walk, which has become an abnormal and regressive act in a future where people spend all of their time indoors and immersed in technology. While walking one night, Mr. Mead is spotted by a police car and questioned for his unusual behavior of walking outside alone. The police car represents the power and control of the authoritarian government over its citizens. Though Mr. Mead has committed no crime, his act of walking sets him apart from society as different and threatening. The story is a commentary on skepticism of unchecked technological progress and loss of individuality.

2 scavs poetry
The poem describes the poet returning to District Six in Cape Town, the mixed-race area where he grew up that was destroyed under apartheid. He feels the anger rising up in him at the empty wasteland that remains. Nearby he sees a new upmarket restaurant with a guard at the gate, clearly meant for whites only. Down the road is a working man's cafe where people eat with their hands. This highlights the ongoing inequalities, making the poet feel that despite political changes, nothing has really changed.
Ozymandias PPt
The poem describes a traveler's encounter with the remnants of a statue in the desert. The traveler tells of two large stone legs standing in the desert, near a broken face half-buried in the sand. An inscription on the pedestal identifies the statue as King Ozymandias, but all that remains is a shattered bust surrounded by endless, barren sands - a metaphor for the inevitable decline of even the mightiest of empires.

Araby by James Joyce Prepared by Kaushal Desai
The various aspects of this story that will keep you in muse...
~The loss of innocence
~The life of the mind versus poverty (both physical and intellectual)
~The dangers of idealization
~The Catholic Church's influence to make Dublin a place of asceticism where desire and sensuality are seen as immoral
~The pain that often comes when one encounters love in reality instead of its elevated form
~These themes build on one another entirely through the thoughts of the young boy, who is portrayed by the first-person narrator, who writes from memory.
Araby (James Joyce)
The story follows an unnamed narrator who develops a crush on his neighbor Mangan's sister. One day, she asks him to go to Araby, a bazaar, and buy her something, as she cannot attend. He eagerly awaits the day of the bazaar. However, on the day of the event, his uncle is late coming home with money for travel. By the time the narrator arrives at Araby, it is almost closed.

I have a Dream Analysis by Martin Luther King
King's "I Have a Dream" speech calls for racial equality and desegregation in America. He references Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to establish his credibility on issues of racial justice. King uses rhetorical devices like metaphors and biblical references to appeal to the emotions and beliefs of his audience. He also employs logical analogies to make compelling arguments that America has failed to uphold its principles of equality and inalienable rights for black citizens. The speech envisions a future where people of all races can live as brothers united in freedom.

hard times novel by charles dicken by quratulain akhter
Hard Times (1854), dickens has constructed an almost entirely mechanized world of people, ideas and environments.

iii. It is a work of fiction which contains a serious depth and has an underlying gravity which is important to be aware of.
iv. It is both criticism of industrialism and an attempt to raise awareness among people about how they think.
v. Hard Times has the effect of tempting the reader to reflect upon his or her situation and how they believe they live their lives, as well as how they imagine their relationships with others are.

Here is a bio poem about Emily Dickinson:
I am Emily Dickinson
I'm from homemade bread, fresh berries, homemade jam
I'm from my writing desk, my garden, my favorite books
I'm from the quiet streets of Amherst, spreading trees
I'm from Father, Mother, sister Lavinia, brother Austin
I'm from "Come live with me and be my love", "Because I could not stop for Death"
I wonder about nature, life after death
I hear birds singing, leaves rustling
I see flowers blooming, the changing seasons
I want to understand God, eternity
I am afraid of being forgotten
I pretend that I'm just like everyone else

Pedestrian
- 1. The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury
- 2. WALKING AS AN ACT OF TRASGRESSION Skepticism of technology and "progress" Pastime is viewed as regressive, outdated, and abnormal. The Pedestrian has a behavior that is alternative, impossible to control.
- 3. The act of ostracizing someone who is different is a common theme in Bradbury's stories. The police car represents power, censorship. His lit up house is symbolic of his difference from the rest of society.
- 4. Mr Mead has not committed any crime at all but he walks No privacy is allowed to anyone The television set is something distracting and misleading for masses, easy to check and manipulate "What does progress really mean? Is advancement, regardless of the consequences, a positive step in the right direction?"
- 5. The Government represented by the police car chooses what is best for people
- 6. Is our society similar to the one described by Ray Bradbury? Similar attachment to technology Most time spent indoors rather than in traditional activities as walking, being with others effectively the conflict between technology and ethics
- 7. A sense of loss A search for identity Difference seen as threatening presence Loneliness Fear for future
