Poem: The Waste Land



‘The Waste Land’ poem is written by T.S .Eliot in 1922, and it is epic poem. This poem divided into five parts. Every part suggest fragmented and broken image of west. Here, T.S. Eliot showed the infertile and barren land of west and mechanical life of that people. We can see here also reference of Upanishad and Buddha. Let’s see five parts of the poem.

1.     The Burial of the Dead
2.     A game of Chess
3.     The Fire Sermon
4.     Death by Water
5.     What the Thunder Said!

How sexual perversion and spiritual degradation connected with each other?

According to Bible sex is a sin. But it is enjoyable activity doing by man and then new birth take place. Spirituality connected with rebirth and sex is the root of regeneration. But here T.S. Eliot talks about sexual characters like, Madam Sosotris, Typist, Clerk, One-eyed Merchant etc. Tiresias is a narrator of this poem. Tiresias has both the experience of man and woman. Myth of Sisyphus, Myth of Philomela, reference of Hamlet these all things are emerged in the poem.

What I learnt from this poem?

I think it is all about barren land and spiritual draught of the West people. And T.S. Eliot connect this idea of modern to the spirituality and give message to the all people that peace is more important in our life. In fifth part he suggests Da-Datta, Da-Dayadhvam, and Da-Damyatta that means be a giver, sympathize and self control. These all things are necessary in our life. So, ‘The Waste Land’ poem is played a vital role to connect the idea of this 21st century and that modern world.

Stray Lesson of B.Ed in Semester-1

Experience of Stray Lesson in Primary School     In B.Ed First I came to know about Micro Teaching, then Bridge Lesson and then Stray Lesson . Stray lesson was given by me on 9, 10, 11 and 12 August, 2016. It was very wonderful and memorable experience for me because students of this were very adjustable.   In this lesson all the skills are used by the trainee-teacher. Motivation skill, Questioning skill, Illustration skill, Reinforcement skill used by them. Time of this lesson is 30 minutes . Numbers of students are 35 to 40 . Our Professors gave us four lessons, two lessons about English (first method) and another was about Sanskrit (second method).   It is the only Girls Primary School.

Second Teaching Method of B.Ed: Bridge Lesson

Bridge Lesson   Generally, we think that process of teaching is very easy. But it covers so many things and step by step we have to follow it. In  video games  there are levels to win the game. Same type of levels we can see in B.Ed. First step of teaching is Micro-teaching and second step is Bridge-lesson.   Bridge lesson it means all the skills are jointed. It is one type of pool or one type of chains. One chain connected with another chain and it’s make long bridge. Ratio of students is 15 to 17 and 15 to 20 minutes trainee-teacher has to teach. It is one type of practice so within the students we have to do it. According to “Lesson-Plan” (Paath-Ayojan) we have to teach. If such thing not included in it it’s not necessary because all the things we can’t write on it. Space of Lesson-Plan is very narrow.   In 15 minutes all the skills are used by the teacher. One main important thing is that first turn always comes with Motivation Sk...
