Ray Bradbury's 'The Illustrated Man' is a collection of short stories. Among them, the two stories that depict pessimism are the 'Kaleidoscope' and 'The Highway'. In Kaleidoscope, the space ship malfunctions so it drifts aimlessly in space. The astronauts think about their past and they realized that they didn't do anything worthwhile in their life. In 'The Highway', a couple saves refugees telling them that the nuclear war is going to end the world.

Answer:

Helen is one of the most popular girls in the class. After the teacher suggests that the class plays with Myra, Helen feels reluctant to do so because she is afraid of what the other children would say. However, she talks to her, walks with her and her brother, and gives her a butterfly brooch from a snack she shares with her. So in spite of her reputation worries, in the end she becomes friends with dying Myra.

On the other hand, Myra is isolated from her class and often made fun of. She is protective of her younger brother Jimmy. Besides, when the class visit her at the hospital, she is generous enough to let Helen take one of the gifts.

Is indigenous theatre important to showcase? why or why not?​
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

While only one's beliefs and opinions have the proper weight to anchor this question, in my opinion, absolutely. Not only does it bring the idea of culture into the societal equation, but it expands areas of knowledge that can't really be explained otherwise unless acted out. This also gives minorities the opportunity to act out history correlating to their culture.

Hope this helps! :)

You've recently made a trip to one of the Indian villages and learnt how festivals support the livelihood of the villagers. Shar

Answer:

Festival: DIWALI

I traveled to India last year as part of my tour of Asia and i made a brief stop at Kolkata. Fortunately for me, i was right on time to witness the festival of Diwali which usually lasts for five days and celebrated between mid-October and mid-November.

Diwali is a celebration that is peculiar to Hinduism and according to locals, it symbolizes the spiritual victory over light and darkness.

In preparation for the celebration, the locals in Kolkata made a whole make-over of their surroundings by cleaning, decorating and renovating their houses and workplaces. They were on their best attires and offered <em>puja </em>(which i was told means worship) to Lakshmi the goddess of prosperity and wealth.

The first day of Diwali was accompanied by making beautiful decorations and cleanings. The second day is  known as <em>Naraka Chaturdashi. </em>The third day which is the day of Lakshmi Puja is the darkest night of the traditional month. The fourth day of Diwali is dedicated to the union of husband and wife and the last day is known as Bhai Dooj which is dedicated to the relationship between brother and sister.

The locals at Kolkata look forward to this day with great enthusiasm and gusto. I stayed in Kolkata for the entire five days of celebration before i moved on to another city.
