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.

The Happy Prince is a story by Oscar Wilde. It is a lesson from the book Moments for Grade 9 NCERT English Chapter 5. The Story is about a Happy Prince and a Swallow. The story is Heart touching. The Prince is happy when he was alive and once he was dead, his statue was erected in the center of the city. He notices people suffering in his country and seeks the help of a swallow to help out the needy. The swallow bird stays with him throughout the winter and dies at last in his feet. His statue becomes ugly, so that the counselor asks it to be replaced with his own by placing it in a furnace. The heart of the prince did not melt and it was thrown where the bird was dead. At last, god takes both into his hands.

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.

Q.2: Describe the flat where the Youngs
lived?
Ans: The author half sarcastically describes
the poor look of the furnished flat at $8

mendicancy squad. In the vestibule below
was a letter-box into which no letter would
go, and an electric button from which no
mortal finger could coax a ring. Also
appertaining thereunto was a card bearing
the name “Mr. James Dillingham Young.”
