Rushdie draws parallels between Saleem and his own life, with many biographical similarities. Through Saleem's narration of important historical moments in a trivialized, personal manner, Rushdie aims to present history from the perspective of the common man.

CSULA 510 Where is the white racism in afro caribbean science fiction writer ...Dean Ramser
This document analyzes Nalo Hopkinson's novel Brown Girl in the Ring and argues that it operates outside of traditional paradigms of white racism often found in Caribbean literature. The novel features Afro-Caribbean characters and themes but lacks a dominant white culture or binary of white racism/black oppression. Instead, power struggles emerge around class, gender, and magic versus science. By blending genres like science fiction, magic realism, and Gothic elements, Hopkinson disrupts expectations and creates a narrative world without white racism at the forefront. This represents a radical departure that imagines people of African descent operating autonomously in their own communities and futures.

Tom Jones is presented as a rebellious young man by society. He leads his life according to his own perspective of goodness rather than societal conventions. Some key points about Tom's rebellious nature include that he constantly stole apples and ducks as a child, got in fights with his rival Blifil and Mr. Fitzpatrick, lived wildly without manners, and had numerous love affairs. However, Tom was truly loving and kind, and his rebelliousness may have stemmed more from being a motherless foundling and seeking maternal love than actual defiance against society.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

The Art of Carnivalization in "The White Tiger"
1. The Art of Carnivalization in “The White Tiger”
Presented by Riddhi Jani
Roll no: 23
Paper 13, The New Literature
Semester: 4rth
Year: 2014-’15
Submitted to: Smt. S. B. Gardy Department of English
Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University
2. What is ‘Carnivalization’ ?
• Mikhail Bakhtin- the term ‘Carnivalesque’.
• Subverts the dominant style of writing through
humor.
• “Feast of Fools” “Feast of Circumcision”.
• Burlesqued sacred ceremonies.
• “The natural lout beneath the cassock”.
• Similarity with Manippean Satire.
7. • Poignant situation of our country is shown in
subverted way.
• Resistance, subversion and role-reversal.
• Balram’s resistance toward his granny and also
his masters.
8. • Subversion of religion:
“Do you know about Hanuman, sir? He was
the faithful servant of the god Rama, and we
worship him in our temples because he is a
shining example of how to serve your masters
with absolute fidelity, love, and devotion.”
9. • Role reversal:
“I stopped the car, and then moved to my left, and
he moved to his right, and our bodies passed each
other (…) and then he became driver and I
became passenger.”
• At the end of the novel we see Balram as master.
• He is the real “LOUT” in the veneer of
“CASSOCK”.
10. • The position is also subverted with the change of
the situation.
“The Stork himself came out to see Vijay, and
bowed down before him, a landlord bowing
before a pigherd's son! The marvels of
democracy!”
• Popular becomes prime and fools and wise are
replaced with each other.
11. “On her birthday, for instance, he had me dress
up as a maharaja, with a red turban and dark
cooling glasses, and serve them their food in this
costume.”
• Alternate identity.
“I found the fellow selling T-shirts. "No," I kept
saying to each shirt he showed me—until I
found one that was all white, with a small word
in English in the center. Then I went looking for
the man selling black shoes.”
12. • Dialogism is an important part of Carnivalesque
technique.
• The novel is a conversation of narrator with an
non-present listener.
• It seems like a dramatic monologue in humorous
way.
• Profanity can be seen here as a part of
carnivalization.
13. • God’s mightiness is challenged here in satirical
way.
“God says: I am powerful. I am huge. Become my
servant again.
Devil says: Ha!”
• So, in this way carnivalization proceeds in this
novel.
