THUNDERSTROM

  My favourite type of weather Is a thunderstorm for sure Because when I'm at home   I feel quite secure. Also the smell of outdoors While one is taking place Is beautiful enough to put a smile on my face. I love to watch the rain strike some objects outside, it is amazing to think this miracle happens worldwide. Another thing I love Is feeling rain hit my skin Little drops of heaven Sinking to within. I adore these storms As they emerge from the sky   The clouds getting darker The wind whooshing by Thunder and lightning Rain coming down Hitting the road making a sound As I stare out my window and watch the rain fall by I wonder what could have happened To make God want to cry.   C. Explain the following lines of the poem. 1. Little drops of heaven   This means that the raindrops are like small pieces of heaven falling from the sky. It's a way of saying that rain is something special and beautiful. 2. The wind whooshing ...

THE HUNT

  The Hunt Before I was two years old a circumstance happened which I have never forgotten. It was early in the spring; there had been a little frost in the night, and a light mist still hung over the woods and meadows¹. I and the other colts were feeding at the lower part of the field when we heard, quite in the distance, what sounded like the cry of dogs. The oldest of the colts raised his head, pricked his ears², and said, 'There are the hounds!" and immediately cantered off, followed by the rest of us to the upper part of the field, where we could look over the hedge and see several fields beyond. My mother and an old riding horse of our master's were also standing near, and seemed to know all about it. 'They have found a hare, said my mother, 'and if they come this way we shall see the hunt.' And soon the dogs were all tearing down the field of young wheat next to ours. I never heard such a noise as they made. They did not bark, nor howl, nor whine...

Mesolithic Age

Mesolithic Age It has been suggested that the end of the Palaeolithic age was characterized by major changes in the climate of environment of the world. Due to this, some areas became warmer; this led to the development of grassland at many places. This change also brought an increase in the number of many grass- eating animals. During this time, many grain-bearing grasses like wheat, rice and barley grew naturally in different parts of the continent. This led the people to collect these grains for food. Later on, they learnt where these grasses grew and when they ripened. This might led them to think about growing plants on their own. All these things favoured human survival. It was under such conditions that the Mesolithic age or Middle Stone Age began. We know about the life of Mesolithic man in India from three types of sources: tools, cave and rock painting, and burials. Main occupation of the people remained hunting and gathering food, but their tools improved gradually...

গিন্নি |রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

  1. " বালকদের পীড়ন করিবার জন্য আমাদের শিবনাথ পন্ডিতের একটি অস্ত্র ছিল , সেটি শুনিতে যৎসামান্য কিন্তু প্রকৃতপক্ষে অত্যন্ত নিদারুন। ” (i) শিবনাথ পন্ডিত কে ? বিশ্ববরেণ্য সাহিত্যিক রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর রচিত ' গিন্নি ' গল্পে গল্পকথকের ছাত্রবৃত্তি ক্লাসের মাস্টার মহাশয় ছিলেন শিবনাথ পন্ডিত। কামানো দাড়ি - গোঁফ , ছাঁটা চুল ও ছোটো টিকিতে তাঁকে সাধারণ দেখতে হলেও তাঁকে দেখলেই ছাত্রদের অন্তর ভয়ে শুকিয়ে যেত। (ii) তাঁর অস্ত্রটি কী ? শিবনাথ পন্ডিত ছাত্রদের অদ্ভুত এবং হাস্যকর নামকরণ করতেন যা ছাত্রদের কাছে লজ্জার কারণ হয়ে উঠতো , এটাই তাঁর অস্ত্র ছিল। (iii) সেটি প্রকৃতপক্ষে নিদারুন কেন ? নামকরণ একটি মানুষকে আলাদা করে তোলে অন্য মানুষের থেকে। একটি উপযুক্ত নাম যেমন মানুষের গর্বের কারণ হয়ে দাঁড়ায় তেমনই অনুপযুক্ত নামের কারণে মানুষ লজ্জাবোধও করে। তাই অনেক ক্ষেত্রেই বিকৃত নামকরণে বা ব্যঙ্গ করে রাখা নামে মানুষ অপমানিত হয় এবং মানসিক কষ্ট পায়। শিবনাথ পন্ডিত ছাত্রদের বিকৃত নামকরণ ...
