Pretask on Edgar Allan poe's stories - by jay Mehta sir.

 Hello! Everyone welcome to my blog.

This blog is about Edgar Allan Poe's stories,we supposed to do pretask ,to read some Gujarati stories. So,here is my view according to my understanding.


AboutEgarAllan Poe :-




Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

His famous short stories :-

1. The black cat
2. The fall of the house of usher
3. The gold bug
4.The purloined letter

Que :-1] Read the first Gujarati story and listen to the audio recitation of the second story. Observe how the two wordsmiths work wonders through words! (Absolute obsession of alliteration).

Ans :- The story is “MANSANGH” write by Jayant Khatri. The story started with a very unique way and also suspense story.  The language is used in 'Talpadi Gujrati'. The story begins with Dark night. So the Dark midnight’s is also a symbol of the macabre story. It’s very hard to write a horror scene rather than showing and listening. In this story, there are no sounds only words to explain all expression. So it’s very difficult. But Jayant Khatri writes very well techniques. Readers feel that deep words and horror situation.
 In this story, the name of the narrative is not mentioned but we can say that the story narrated by the master.

Que :- 2] List out various adjectives that contribute the most in creating the "pre-established design" or effect that the author intended to create.

Ans :- t is a type of suffix and prefix. I  found some adjective in this story.
- ખુલ્લુ  મોં
- સફેદ લુગડુ
- ફાટેલું તકીયુ
- ખુલ્લુ આકાશ

Que :- 3 ]Which are the phrases you find frightening? How are they placed in the text?
Ans :-  I find phrases from which I feel frightening;
• આંખ ચમકવી.
• માથુ‌  વાઢવુ.
• અંધારા ઊતરવા.
• તોબહ પોકારી જવા.

Que :- 4]  Can you find out any other lexical arieties such as figures of speech like simile, metaphor, personification etc? Briefly explain their significance in the story.

Ans :- when I read the story I find the figurative language in story.As we know figure of speech like simile,metaphor, personification has it's own importance in all kind of stories or book.So, o find the figurative language like ;
“ડોક ના સતરસો વલાક”
“હસવાનો અવાજ જાણે ભરેલી ગાગર ઠલવાઈ. ”
“જાણે આંસુના દરિયા ની ભરતી હતી.”


Que :- 5] What is the impact of listening to the stories on your mind? Which Rasas/emotions erupt in you during and after the reading/listening sessions?

Ans :- According to me,to read story before learning was a good idea.If we have read in advance then it becomes easy while we are learning.our concept is more clear. I also enjoyed it very much through reading.I feel BHAYA,KARUN, rasa in reading of the story.

Thank you..😊🤗
