Fame_iness Meghan Daum

Image
According to Daum famous is the status of being well known and easily recognized by the people. They are not seen in public places easily and assumed to have a special life. She defines a celebrity as a person who is very famous and not as a real person. She differentiates between  actual fame and fame-iness She asserts "it's pretty clear that it's never been a worse time to be famous" which means famous people can grab the attention easily either they do a good deed or bad. One can become famous even without talent because people are interested in scandals and shocking, repulsive behavior. So there is a big competition. Because talented people are competing with notorious people for their humiliating behavior.  Daum thinks today's celebrities as different from those of years ago. Years ago one has to labor hard to be famous and become a celebrity.  They had to make a strenuous effort to achieve fame. Like an actor had to do auditions and musicians had to play in ...

Dominant Impression

Image
 Dominant Impression A writer should have the skill to write a narrative and descriptive essays to express his point of view. It is a mood or quality or feeling that emphasizes the purpose of the writer. A single attitude towards the subject clarifies the writer's position regarding the topic. The dominant impression is the attitude of the writer towards the subject matter of the essay.  A dominant impression is created by the unified effects of the six strategies of descriptive writing:  1. sensory language  2. energetic action verbs  3. vivid adjectives  4. specific, concrete details  5. figurative comparisons  6. position of the narrator The thesis statement can reveal the impression of the writer and at times it may go further making a point about that dominant impression. In general, the thesis statement can be drawn from the dominant impression. Precision and unified perspective help to create a dominant impression in the reader's mind. With...

तिमी गर तिम्रै खुसी माया मेरो होइन मौसमे चरी  सधैँ पाउने छौ उस्तै मलाई  चाहे समय शिशिरको या होस् साउने झरी  तिमी गर तिम्रै खुसी माया मेरो होइन मौसमे चरी  सधैँ पाउने छौ उस्तै मलाई  चाहे समय शिशिरको या होस् साउने झरी  स्पर्श तिम्रो लाग्छ स्पेसल  माया हाम्रो रहन्छ फरयवर

सुन्दर लाग्छ हर प्रहर  साथ हुदा तिम्रो, सबै लाग्छ राम्रो कल्पना गर्दा तिम्रो मात्रपनि  सरल बनिदिन्छन, प्रत्येक परिस्थिति  कयौ छन् माया प्रिती का कहानी  लेख्न खोज्दै म हाम्रो जानी नजानी  रंगिन लाग्छ, सुन्दर बन्छ  हर प्रहर, सुन्य यो सहर  मुस्कान तिम्रो यो मनको रहर  मन छैन सम्झना संगाली बस्न  प्रितिका पल रमाइलो बहार  तिमि आए सजिन्छ मेरो संसार

    Fritz Karinthy (1887-1938) was a Hungarian satirical writer. He excelled as a novelist, short story writer, poet, essayist and playwright. Deeply interested in natural sciences, he studied to be a teacher, but became a journalist and joined the literary periodical Nyugat. Strongly philosophical and humanistic in his outlook, he raised his powerful voice against the barbarism and horrors of World War I. His works such as That’s How You Write (1912), Journey around My Skull (1939), Please Sir (1916) and Professor won him a lot of recognition. The play Refund written in 1938 is about a man about forty who goes back to the school in which he had studied and demands a refund of the fees he had paid eighteen years back claiming that he had learnt nothing useful at school and he is now goodfor- nothing. This play was adopted by the American playwright Percival Wilde for a general audience. Refund brings out the extraordinary sense of parody, word play in Karinthy’s literary art. ...
