The title 'Deep Water' is quite appropriate to this extract from 'Of Men and Mountains' by William O. Douglas. The title is highly suggestive and at once focuses our attention on the main theme—experiencing fear of death under water and the efforts of the author to overcome it.

Douglas learnt this lesson after overcoming his fear of water by hiring a trainer and learning how to swim. He tried swimming in Lake Wentworth and Warm Lake. Both the attempts were successful. He became confident and understood 'all we have to fear is fear itself'. He realised that all obstacles, fears and terrors can be conquered. We must have the determination and courage to face them.

His own life was sad and monotonous. He walked laboriously from place to place. The world had never been kind to him. So, during his gloomy ploddings, this idea became his favourite pastime. He was amused how people let themselves be caught in the dangerous snare and how others were still circling around the bait.

Saniya Malhotra 4 years, 3 months ago

Seemapuri is the peripheri of delhi and it is miles away from it. Delhi is the capital of India and it has all the facilities as compare to seemapuri. Being the capital it is well maintained. It has schools, malls, 24 hours water and electricity supply, well maintained drainage system, clean drinking water, parks for children and everything. On the other hand seemapuri is not well maintained as it is on the periphery of Delhi. People live in traupline made houses where it is not fully built. People doesn't enjoy facilities such as water and electricity supply, no clean drinking water, no drainage system. So it is well said that seemapuri is located at the periphery of delhi but seems mile away from it.

I agree, grinding poverty and tradition have condemned the thousand of people. In which the children of rag pickers and bangle maker are included. In the story the rag pickers children have accepted their fate to be barefoot as their tradition. Similarly bangle maker's persist with bangle making, saying it is their karma. Their spirits due to constant suppression and servitude make them incapable of rising their voices against injustice and exploitation.

The theme of the story ‘The Last Lesson’ is linguistic chauvinism of the proud conquerors and the pain that is inflicted on the people of a territory by them by taking away the right to study or speak their own language and thus make them aliens in their own land of birth. The story has a sub-theme also. It highlights the attitudes of the students and teachers to learning and teaching.Though the story is located in a particular village of Alsace district of France which had passed into Prussian hands it has a universal appeal. It highlights the efforts of the victors to crush their victims— the vanquished people in all possible manner—materially spiritually mentally and emotionally. Taking away mother tongue from the people is the harshest punishment. The proper equation between student and teacher his focused attention helpful and encouraging attitude and kind treatment can encourage students to learn better

Amit Chopra 4 years, 3 months ago

This poem by Stephen Spender gives a vivid description of a school classroom in a slum and the children in the class. The faces of the children are dull. Their appearance shows that they are unwanted. The children have gloomy faces. Their heads hanging low in sadness due to being poor. They have diseased bodies inherited from their parents and are victims of poverty. At the dim end of the room, sits one child who has bright eyes which seem to dream - of playing outside with squirrels. He is different from the others in the dim, darkroom. The walls of the classroom are dirty. People have donated different charts and images which have been put upon them. One of them is a picture Of the great playwright Shakespeare. His head is bald and resembles the rising Sun. The next poster is of the Tyrolese valley, full of churches and flowers which symbolizes the beautiful creations of nature. Another one is a map of the World. To these children, the world is not the one shown in these pictures, but it is the one they see out of the classroom window. They are trapped in the slums. Their future is dim and hopeless. They have a dark future as their options in life are limited and are covered with dismay. They are far away from the bright light of knowledge. Comprehending these pictures is beyond their abilities. They hate everyone and for them, Shakespeare is a wicked man. As no one loves them, they dislike everyone. the desire for love and acceptance forces them to do crimes like stealing. The children are so skinny that their clothes are like skin and their skeleton is visible through them. This is due to a lack of nutrition. They have worn-looking glasses made of steel which are cheap, heavy, and uncomfortable. Their chances of fulfilling their dreams and moving out have been further reduced by building bigger slums. Until they come out of the slums, they will never know what the world looks like. The Government system which makes these slums is the cause for these people to live in them. The education system is such that it forces them to live in these slums. They are not given the right to dream beyond these slums. They have been restricted to the slums. The poet requests the authorities to allow these children to go out of these slums so that the maps on the walls of the classroom become a reality for them. They should be taken to the green fields rather than the dim slums.The sunny, warm sand of the beaches and the bright blue sky will instill a hunger for knowledge in their minds. Then they will absorb all of it. Then these children will become economically empowered. The poem ends with a powerful line - those who make history are the ones who shine like the Sun.
