“The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman.”
MEG-11 AMERICAN NOVEL
(Based on Blocks (1-9)
Course Code: MEG-11/ 2016-17
Max. Marks: 100
Q5:- “The Catcher in
the Rye is a bildungsroman.” Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.
The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman, a novel about a young
character’s growth into maturity. While it is appropriate to discuss the novel
in such terms, Holden Caulfield is an unusual protagonist for a bildungsroman
because his central goal is to resist the process of maturity itself. As his
thoughts about the Museum of Natural History demonstrate, Holden fears change
and is overwhelmed by complexity. He wants everything to be easily
understandable and eternally fixed, like the statues of Eskimos and Indians in
the museum. He is frightened because he is guilty of the sins he criticizes in
others, and because he can’t understand everything around him.

significance of epistolary form of The Colour Purple.
Alice Walker has been one of the most popular and prominent
figures in contemporary literature since 1970s. In her early literary career,
her focus was on the spiritual survival of the black people especially the
black women. In her works, though she explores the problems faced by a land and
its people, she also keeps her emphasis strong on the healing power of love and
the possibility of a change. She also used the term "Womanism" in her
famous volume of essays "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens: Womanist
Prose" derived from the word "Womanish" used for a girl asking
too many questions and speaking in her own voice. In her works, Walker has
always valued the bonds between women, their culture, their emotional
flexibility and their strength.

The Great Gatsby as a novel of social criticism
MEG-11 AMERICAN NOVEL
(Based on Blocks (1-9)
Course Code: MEG-11/ 2016-17
Max. Marks: 100
Q2:- Discuss the Great Gatsby as a novel of social
criticism.
The
Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic twentieth-century story of Jay
Gatsby's quest for Daisy Buchanan, examines and critiques Gatsby's particular
vision of the 1920's American Dream. Written in 1925, the novel serves as a
bridge between World War I and the Great Depression of the early 1930's.
Although Fitzgerald was an avid participant in the stereotypical "Roaring
Twenties" lifestyle of wild partying and bootleg liquor, he was also an
astute critic of his time period. The Great Gatsby certainly serves more to
detail society's failure to fulfill its potential than it does to glamorize
Fitzgerald's "Jazz Age."

Wordsworth’s
criticism is limited in scope whereas the range Coleridge as a critic was vast.
In his own way he was a system builder and always thought within a larger
philosophical context. He considered criticism to be an important part of
literary study. Coleridge paved the way for appreciation of great poetry as is
evident in his praise for Wordsworth’s poetry. He is mostly subjective but
Coleridge gives ample evidence of both subjectivity and objectivity.

(Based on Blocks 1 – 8)
Q3:-Bring out the
link between language teaching and the study of literary texts.
The
teaching of literature has recently been resurrected as a vital component of
English language teaching. Over the past few decades, there has been much
discussion on the value of attempting to teach any kind of literature, whether
it be the classics or any imaginative work written in English, as part of an
English language syllabus. For instance, in the sixties and seventies, there
was a distinct reaction against the use of any literary English before the
pendulum swung again in support of literature teaching. The opposition towards
literature may well have been due to the impact of the approaches that were
practised in the decades prior to the sixties and seventies and prevailing
ideas in language teaching and methodology
