Pre - Thinking Activity : Related to the Themes of Edgar Allan Poe's Work


        This Pre - Thinking Activity task is given by Dr. Jay Mehta as a background learning with the help of the writer Edgar Allan Poe's work. Click Here to see the task. 

        If we read Edgar Allan Poe's works then we will  find the theme of mystery and the  pattern of human behavior. He is also considered as a inventor of detective fiction genre too. 

1- Recollect a moment of your life when you were at the height of ferocity (anger) on someone with/without some specific reason. What did you feel like speaking to or doing with that person?

  There were so many moments when I have felt ferocity towards the persons. Let me share some of the experiences of the past. When I was child that time my brother  and some of the friends used to annoy me and that time my mind was thinking to fight with them. Another example is of Cricket.  I often uses to play cricket. But before 3/4 years ago when some of the players were making mistakes in fielding that time I often started to loosing my temper. But fortunately right now I hardly loose temper. 



2- Have you ever felt tremendous drive to hit or murder someone? When? Why? How? Elucidate.


      Not to murder, but when I was in high school that time some of the right wing students were considered themselves as a  Prince  and they were trying to suppressed others by their " unity".  So that time I was thinking to hit them one by one.



3- Have you ever felt like committing suicide? Was it just a passing thought or you were serious? What propelled you to think so? Describe your experience (although momentary) of suicidal tendency.

   No,  I just never felt like committing suicide. Because I always like to accept the things as it is. And I often like to considered my self as a believer of nihilism. So I just never think of any results but I like to enjoy the path.


4- Write about the scariest of your dreams. Have you ever cried or screamed by a bizarre and horrible nightmare? Elaborate.

       After recollecting the childhood memories I can say that I had experienced some of the dreadful nightmare. And all the nightmare were creating the bewildering images. But I had  never cried or screamed. In present I never experienced any kind of nightmares



5- Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever undergone any experience of supernatural elements? Explain.

   No, according to me there is nothing like ghost. When we were children that time our elders tried to give that type of examples as a solution of our demands. But that seed start growing in our mind and as a result of it we feel fear. Secondly I would like to say that if someone has done wrong with somebody , that can be the reason of fear too.( Revenge Motive)  Some of the gruesome fantasy film also affects a lot in creating these kinds of situations. Somehow whole concept of fear/ ghost is connected with the darkness. Which is deeply inserted in our mind by the ancestors. 


      Same way I don't believe in supernatural elements too.  I have already tried so many things against it, nothing happens. Actually those who believe in these kinds of things they have to suffer a lot. Sometimes it might take someone's life also. So it will be better if you stay away from these kinds of rubbish things. 

                                                       Thank you...
