I am.....as a failure

“I am..... as a Failure”
  

  When I was in first year B. A. I heard news, “one girl committed suicide because she failed in internal examination of F.Y.B.Sc.” She was very talented and always gets top scores in examinations. I comment about this event that, ‘she has no right to kill herself, she done totally wrong.’
     But when I failed in semester 5 B.A., I understand, what forces the students to commit suicide. I want to share my experience as a failure.
      I failed first time in my life. I am the failure of B.A. examination which is recognised as very easy and less valuable than any other courses. Result was never imagined. I could not understand how I should react. I felt as someone hit in my heart directly. Obviously, I felt very painful and sad. I also blamed university and examiner of my paper.
      I was very frustrated and depressed. It was shown in my behaviour also. I became very angry with myself and others. I wanted to break something, to tear out, to smash, to crack something. I felt that my hard work of 15 years has become meaningless, my future is finished now.
      When I wrote same paper second time I was fully disturbed. I wanted to tear the paper and run away from the examination hall. I cannot express how I wrote the paper second time.
      After some time, I recovered and started to think different. I used my frustration in creative way, I wrote about my mental condition, my views, my opinions and feelings as a failure. With that I can free from my neurotic condition. 
    I thought that education is not life but sometimes it becomes life for some students who love study and when they failed in examination they think that their future, their world, their life, everything is finished now.
     Once upon a time I joked and laugh on English but now English make my life big joke. Still whenever I see my mark sheet the word Failrules my mind and I become sad, shameful then with full of anger I keep aside the mark sheet. I can never forget that experience of failing. Today I remember my teacher’s words, the sentence written by Emily Dickinson that, “After every pain there is a formal feeling.”          
                  Now I looked this event with different view. Education is only part of life. How can one university make you failure?  They can only make Red mark or write Fail in your mark sheet. But they cannot stop you. You have your own life, your own future, skills, experiences, opportunities; it is only you who can make your life successful or failure.
      I want to tell all the students that when you feel frustrated because of failing in something, think about your skills, your abilities, and think of the world out of school or collages. You may feel that outer world is more beautiful than your thought.try to live in it you may not remember that you failed in some silly examination.
    Now I am thinking of my bright future. I try to develop my artistic skills. I am laughing with others, studying with others. My only revenge to my failure is that I must prove myself in further examination towards university. I understand that my life is in my hand no any mark sheet affected me, either I enlighten my abilities or remember my sorrowful accident. So, I am...... as I wish.
           Now you decide, Can anyone make you Failure?

           .... Start thinking....

'Robinson Crusoe' -as perspective of Friday


             After reading summery of “Robinson Crusoe”, I tried to write about mentioned topic. Robinson Crusoe, the narrator tells a story of his sea voyages. Crusoe saved one man from cannibals in the lonely island. He gave him name – Friday. He also taught him English language and religion. He made him Protestant. He treated Friday as his servant. Even Friday called him “Master”.  
              Coming to the main point, the first and most obvious point about Friday's relationship with Crusoe is that Friday is Crusoe's subordinate. Friday always calls Crusoe "master," for example. Crusoe also mentions that their relationship is much like that of "a Child to a Father". Friday was handsome, intelligent, brave, and loyal. He was Crusoe’s devoted and humble servant. Crusoe converted savage into Protestant.
         Subaltern means marginalized or less valuable than others. In this novel Friday is subaltern.  If we change narrator and put Friday as narrator, He may tell story of his slavery. He also characterizes Crusoe’s character more truly and also present his vices also. Because Crusoe saved his life and make him protestant from savage, he may respect him but can not be slave for long time. He may become good companion, good friend of Crusoe. Even he may start rebel against his slavery. It is his goodness that he worshiped his “god” Crusoe because Crusoe teaches him many things as a slave.
       At that moment, I remember one short story which we studied earlier “The Heathen” by Jack London. It can explain this point very well.
