Jonathan Swift(A Tale of a Tub)

Thinking Activity:

This blog is a response to the Thinking Activity of Jonathan Swift's A Tale of a Tub task assigned by Vaidehi Haryani mam, the Department of English,MKBU. And in this blog I' m going to discuss about the Questions.

Thinking Activity:

Here we begin:

Q.1 How far do you think digression is necessary?

Response: According to me digression is almost very important becoz it takes us towards the diversion. Where every time if we write something and it is everytime straightford and that can make us bored to read so to read it enthusiastically  will make more interesting becoz it brings some of the diversed form in the reading or writing.

Why we should use digression?

That is one of the significance which consists of various reasons such as followed, 

1) To provide additional information, 

For example: Characters,settings or part of the play so it is necessary for the main story.

2) To add humour,

For example: In a funny way or to add fun in it.

3) To create suspense,

For example: The sailors throw tub into the sea to distract the Whale so this is a specific suspense of Swift who gives for naming the tale as A Tale of a Tub.

One more example of a digression is that  starting to tell a story about Photography when the main topic is Photosynthesis.

An act or instance of digressing, a wondering from the main subject in talking or walking.

Thus, I think digression is necessary.

Q.2 Identify any one movie/ web series/ song/ poem/ novel which talks about the sensitive topic like religion. Write in brief about it and explain what kind questions are raised through that work.

Response: I will discuss about the poem;

The poem:

God Is One

God is one for every one

The blue Sky up above

A temple few steps ahead

The Church bells ringing can be heard

A mosque near by gives a call

If only we understand

Then why do we hate each other

When God is there for every one

When God is one for every one.

 written by:  Rehanayakoob Yakoob

Here I will explain that simply as God is one where these poem talks about temple,the mosque, the Church and God is one for everyone.

So the questions can be raised like,

Q -1 why do people believe in different castes as religion?

Q - 2 Why does it have discrimination in sub - castes as a religion?

Q - 3 what the reason that we hate each other?

These type of questions are raised.
