Pre task Edgar Allen Poe's short story

Pre- task : Edgar Allan Poe’s short story


1. Read the first Gujarati story and listen to the audio recitation of the second story. Observe how the two wordsmiths work wonders through words! (Absolute obsession of alliteration).


Ans. :   The story name of “MANSANGH” write by JAYNT KHATRI. The story started with very unique way. It’s also called suspense story. The language of story is 'TALPADI GUJRATI'.  Story begins with Dark night. So  the Dark midnight’s is also symbol of macabre story. It’s very hard do write a horror scene rather then showing and listening. There no any sound only words explain all expression. So it’s very difficult. But jayant KHATRI write very well readers feel that deep words and horror situation. So it’s good story.
    There are no mention narrative name but story narrated by “ mastar”.

     
2. List out various adjectives that contribute the most in creating the "pre-established design" or effect that the author intended to create.


Ans. :  Adjective use a very impactful in story. An important reason for this is that most nouns and most adjective have rather complex semantic structures. Adjective give extra meaning to word.
It is to type suffix and prefix. I  found some adjective in this story.
- અંધારી રાત
- ખુલ્લુ  મોં
- સફેદ લુગડુ
- ફાટેલું તકીયુ
- કુંવારી દીકરી
- ખુલ્લુ આકાશ
- રડતું કૂતરું
- તીણી ચીસ
- તોફાની દ્શ્યો
- અશાન્ત સ્વપ્ન

3.Which are the phrases you find frightening? How are they placed in the text?
 Ans. :  When I read story I found some frightening phrases like
- અંધારી રાત
- બંગડી અવાજ
- ધ્રુજતો‌ હાથ
- કૂતરાનો રડવા નો અવાજ
- પવનના સુસવાટા
- તણખા ઝરતી આંખો
- દીવા ના પ્રકાશ થી પડછાયો હલવો
- રાત શાંત હતી, અશાંતિ કરતાંય ભયંકર ‌રીતે શાંત
So I found that type of  frightening phrases. Other is  મોંઘી character portrait as insanity person at the end of the story. Also cat  and પીપળો also symbol of horror story.


4. Can you find out any other lexical varieties such as figures of speech like simile, metaphor, personification etc? Briefly explain their significance in the story.
Ans. :  I read story that time I see the use of figurative language.  Figurative language give some unique charm in story. I like most figurative language. Metaphorical language used by Jayant KHATRI. Like
 
“હસવાનો અવાજ જાણે ભરેલી ગાગર ઠલવાઈ. ”
“જાણે આંસુના દરિયા ની ભરતી હતી.”
“આંખો વાઘ ને તણખા ઝરતી”
“તારાઓ નું જોવું”
“આભ ફાટેલું તેવો હસવાનો અવાજ”
“ડોક ના સતરસો વલાક”


5.What is the impact of listening  to the stories on your mind? Which Rasas/emotions erupt in you during and after the reading/listening sessions?
