Novel: The Sense of an Ending





v What is the meaning of phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email?

       Sarah Ford, mother of Veronica sends one letter to Tony Webster and gave him 500 pounds. In the reply of email Veronica she sends one phrase to Tony that “Blood Money”. But he can’t understand this word. Because of the letter of Tony to Adrian he commits suicide. In this letter he wrote about her mother and then their relationship started. Mrs. Sarah Ford and Adrian fall in love and the result came out that mentally retarded child was born. So, this son is the brother of Veronica and she cared for him. Veronica suffered in society and she has to sacrifice the entire critical situation. Through the letter of Tony innocent child also suffered a lot. So, these all things happened because of one letter and behind Adrian’s suicide also Tony plays a vital role. That’s why she wrote “Blood Money” in the reply.  


v Do you see any possible reason in the suicide of Adrian Finn?

      Earlier Adrian had good relation with Veronica. But once time he wrote letter to Tony about their (Veronica and Adrian) relationship. It is the wish of Veronica that he should writes letter to Tony. But it is the fault of them. Tony feels jealous of their relation wrote one letter to Adrian about Mrs. Sarah Ford. It is the loose stone of this novel and because of this Adrian meets Sarah and then all things started. But then Adrian feels shame because it is not the healthy relationship and he commits suicide.

  
v What do you mean by Unreliable Narrator? Is Tony Webster classifiable as Unreliable Narrator?

        'The Sense of an Ending' novel divided into two parts. First part is all about imperfections of memory and second part is all about inadequacies of documentation. But how can we say that Tony narrates all these things are true? Because now he is 60 years old fellow and recalls his past. So sometimes our memory is constructed. Our family members told us that these events happened with you. But many a time it is constructed and we relied on that and then started follow it.

   Here Tony Webster also remembered his School days, Class of History, Class of English, Friendship with Veronica all these things. But we can’t fully faith on these stories because it is the memory of him. He minutely told the whole story of his life but may be it happened that many things of his life he can’t narrate and it is the missing dots of the story.

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.

They actively participated in questioning also.   Difference between Bridge lesson and Stray lesson is that in Bridge lesson Test of the Student and assignment (home-work) ...

Second Teaching Method of B.Ed: Bridge Lesson

Image
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...
