Use of Symbols, Science and Art in The Da Vinci Code Novel by Dan BrownPritiba Gohil
Here I am sharing My Presentation of Course No. 13: The New Literature based on Use of Symbols, Science and Art in The Da Vinci Code Novel by Dan Brown.
The document summarizes and refutes key claims made in the popular book "The Da Vinci Code". It presents 10 false claims from the book, explaining the real historical facts and truth in each case. The overarching conspiracy presented in "The Da Vinci Code" is exposed - that the real conspirator behind promoting its claims is Satan, aiming to seduce readers to doubt and reject Christianity in favor of humanism and pagan beliefs.
A Grain of Wheat as a National Epic of Anticolonial Strugglebhumivajani88
The document discusses how novels can be summarized as a collective act of recalling and reflecting on the past through narrating the story of a nation. It was submitted to Dr. Dilip Barad and Heenaba Zala of the Department of English at M.K. Bhavnagar University in Gujarat.
The document provides an analysis of how characters, enigma, and technical elements are established in the opening scenes of The Da Vinci Code film. It describes how Jacques Sauniere is introduced running in fear with Silas chasing him, creating suspense, while Professor Robert Langdon is shown to enjoy solving puzzles. Quick cuts between the two characters, ominous music, footsteps, and alarms build tension. Mise en scene elements like paintings, weapons, and lighting are used to clue the audience in on key plot points and characters.
O documento contém várias citações sobre temas como o interior, o coração, Deus, o amor e a humanidade. As citações destacam a importância de se olhar para dentro de si, de se purificar o coração para ver o essencial e se aproximar de Deus, e de amar uns aos outros.
Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" erroneously presents false information as facts. This presentation clearly contrasts the historical facts with the fantasy that Dan Brown claims to be factual.

1. The document speculates that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene had children who migrated to France and became nobles and kings.
2. It suggests that French Huguenots massacred in 1572 may have been descendants of Jesus and proposes they fled to South Africa to escape persecution.
3. It describes monuments in South Africa honoring Huguenots who settled there and their descendants, implying they were descended from Jesus.
This document provides a comparative analysis of The Da Vinci Code novel and the Divine Principle text. It highlights seven areas of contact: 1) use of allegory and symbol, 2) the sacred feminine, 3) creation theology, 4) interpretations of Christ, 5) views on human sexuality, 6) perspectives on the Church, and 7) eschatological beliefs. Both texts utilize allegory and symbolism. They also valorize the sacred feminine and seek to restore its importance. While taking different stances on some issues, they share convergent reinterpretations of Jesus and notions of marriage, lineage, and the Holy Spirit. Both aim to sanctify sexuality and see a transition age as heralding new spiritual understanding

Postmodernism questions rationalist European philosophy and argues that cultural constructions have often empowered dominant social groups at the expense of others. Modernist literature in the early 20th century rejected Victorian ideas, as seen in works by James, Woolf, Joyce, Pound, Eliot, and Kafka. Popular culture can be analyzed through four lenses: production, which examines media ownership and text creation; textual analysis of how meanings are made; audience analysis of consumer groups; and historical analysis of how these dimensions change over time. Examples of works discussed include The Sound and the Fury, The Waste Land, Ulysses, and Frankenstein.

While tragedy is rare in Sanskrit drama, Bhasa's version adds some tragic elements by showing Duryodhana's perspective, making it a daring experiment in the genre. Some find it difficult to accept due to its deviation from traditional attitudes about the characters in the Mahabhar

Donne's reputation as a love poet rests on fifty-five lyric poems published in 1633 covering a wide emotional range from extreme physical passion to spiritual love. Some poems depict love relationships outside marriage, while others emphasize the impossibility of finding a faithful woman or express contempt for womanhood. Donne's treatment of love is both sensuous and lustful, analyzing love situations intellectually without describing female beauty. His poetry explores the three strains of attitudes towards women, conjugal love, and platonic love from a realistic perspective.
