      Here is my Response to the given task Click Here

 

                      Structuralism and literary criticism this essay is given by Gerard Genette , who was French literary theorist. Structuralism : It is the offshoot of certain developments in linguistics and anthropology.

               According to Saussure the sing us constituted by the "signifiet " and " signified " signifier us the " Word" or the alphabets which are arranged in a particular order while the signified is the concept that the signifier stand for .

Here we find Gerard Genette narratology includes many sub parts like : 

          
                         1)Order
                2)Duration
                3) Voice
                4) Mood
                5) Frequency

             Example every literary text has a beginning middle and end. And same goes with the movie, serial also 

             Movie like OMG, P.k has a same structure-anti religion or challenges this idea.

If we take structure approach then OMG is better than P.K structure of both is same.

                 For example T.V serial like CID, crime petrol, and savdhan India helps us to understand narratology.

I.A. Richards: Figurative Language 

               here i illustrate Bellwood song Ek ladkki ko dekha to... its a related to I.A Richard's Figurative language.

                   

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha  (Lyrics )

Ek ladaki ko dekha to a is a laga

Jaise khilata gulaub

Jaise shaayar kam khvaab

Jaise ujali kiran

Jaise ban mein hiran

Jaise chaadani raat

Jaise narami baat

Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aisa laga

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aisa laga

El ladaki ko dekha to aisa laga

Jaise subah kaa rup

Jaise saradi ki dhup

Jaise vinaa ki taan

Jaise rangon  ki jaan

Jaise balakhaayein bel

Jaise laharon ka khel

Jaise khushbu liye aaye thanks havaa

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

Jaise naachataa mor

Jaise resham ki dor

Jaise pariyon kam raag

Jaise sandal ki aag

Jaise solah singaar

Jaise Ras ki phuhaar

Jaise aahistaa aahistaa badhta nasha

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

Ek ladaki ko dekha to aise laga

  

            Ek Ladki Ko Dekha to aosa lava Intention.  

            When I saw this Girl , She seemed to me like , a blooming rose. "Ek Ladki " to a " Shayar kam Khwab " ( a poet's dream ) and to " Sardi ki dhoop "  set the bar high for my expectations of romance. And like a glowing ray of light , deer in the forest . Beauty of the morning, winter sunshine .Like a note from the lute , essence of all color. Like a twisting vine , play of waves , a cool scented wind .

            "Jaise  Solah  Singaar

Like the sixteen traditions ornaments of

                      Beauty. " 

                "Solah Shringar " is a ritual , passed down through to ancient culture and is meant to adorn and bestow gifts of beauty on her.Like a refreshing mist , slowly growing feeling of intoxication .

             It is a song that transport me from the real into a world of wonderful dreams . The melody and the lyrics combine to create a piece of music , that for me shall always remain evergreen and one of the most romantic songs ever created .


             I hope I have been able to give justice to the lyrics . Unfortunately , there are some phrases which do not sound as beautiful as they sound in Hindi and the meaning is lost in translation . If anyone has any suggestions for improvement please leave a comment it is a beautiful song and it becomes even more beautiful when there is a face that you are reminded of when you listen to it that feeling is unsurpassable by anything else.
