Library Card" is written by Richard Wright, a black writer in America.
Once a negro boy was reading a newspaper "The American Mercury" on
which he saw a white man called H.L. Mencken being abused by another white man.
He got surprised since he used to think that only negroes were hated, but not
white man. The article was furious denunciation in which Mencken was called a
fool. Therefore , he became curious to know more about Mencken and was highly
inspired to read his books. However, the blacks are not allowed to go to
library. They were deprived of the library cards. Fortunately, he was able to
use the library cards of a white man in his office and read two books by H.K.
Mencken. As a result, he found himself in a different world. He understand the
reason why Mencken was hated by his own people. He had talked about the
equality between whites and blacks. The man he reads the more he understand the
reality. In this way the boy always went to the library and read the book more
critically. After reading many books, he understood his boss and he realized
that he had been missing a very important thing in life. Upto that time.
Reading became like a drug to him. So, he wanted to became a writer he had to
know so many things and people well. That's why, he brought English grammars
for learning English, but he found the English better from novels than grammar,
after reading many novels realized the suffering of slaves, suppression and
violent operation of cruel law by the white against the black. So, he didn't like
to live the life of a slave living in the south because of his education. As he
was in the minority, he couldn't fight against the white either. In this way,
his education mad him different from others blacks. So, he couldn't forget the
pathetic situation of black easily. Therefore at the end having felt
incompleteness in himself to become a writer, he became very sad.
Interpretation:
The
writer may be trying to tell us that education is supremely important ornament
of life. The more ones reads the more knowledge one perceives about the
vastness and mystery of the world. In this story a negro boy becomes curious to
read more and more after reading a newspaper editorial in which Mencken is
severely criticized. His thirst of learning increase. As a result, he starts
reading a lot. Reading makes him conscious about the painful condition and
suffering of the blacks and changes his attitude towards life and the world. In
this way, his education makes him different from others. Consequently, he
understand the discrimination, injustice and inequalities between the whites
and blacks.
Critical Thinking:
After
reading this story we learnt that the white people behave Negro quite savagely.
But we know that the USA is a highly democratic nation. In such nation, how can
we believe that blacks are treated so savagely? Isn't there compulsory
education for all? How can a boy forge the letter if he is uneducated and if he
is discriminated? Was the black's freedom realty seized? So, we aren't totally
convinced with the ideas of the story.
Assimilation:
Before
reading this story I used to think that English could be learnt by means of
English grammars. But after reading it, I know that we can guess the meaning of
a new word according to the context rather than using the dictionary frequently
to continue my education to her higher
degree for making my life meaningful.

For example, Perico a parrot kept by Don Lucas taught a group of parrot as Don Lucas did to hi children. further the person who accomplishes his duty with greater responsibility avoiding the selfishness will be loved by all. For example Don Lucas works with greater determination. So, he was loved by all his villages.
Critical Thinking:
We people in the scientific age put forward a lot of question regarding this story. Is it possible for a bird to speak like a human being? Can a parrot teach so many thing to another parrot like a teacher to the students? For this reasons, I don’t totally agree with the idea for writer.
Assimilation:
After reading this interesting story, I realized that it is not only the human beings who can teach and guide properly to other human beings, but the other birds do have alos their private world where they have their own system rule and regulation. They can imitate the roles of the human beings.

"The
Sword of Damocles" is takne out from Greek legend. This story deals with
an event that occurred in Greek to the king Dionysius who was a ruler famous
for harsh treatment that he had given to his people and others who fell into
his power. He was so tyrannical by his people. Even though he greatly enjoyed
intellectual society. He managed to surround himself with a very
brilliant court of men who were famous for their skill in science, letters and
the arts in general. Like all tyrants, he had a great numbers of flatters too.
Among them, one was Damocles who was the most celebrated of the foolish folk .
He often flattered Dionysius in his pleasure or in such a way that he could
hear his admiration. He always said that it was great honor to be a king like
king Dionysius. He believed that the kings life was full of happiness and
very comfortable fortunately, King Dionysius was never deceived by such
fool flatters rather he resolved to teach him what it was to be a king.
Once king Dionysius called Damocles and ordered him to be a king during the
royal feast. Damocles agreed happily to be a king. The king Dionysius
challenged him that he would resign the throne and become a common people
before the end of the feast.
Next day, the high born guests all assembled in the banquet Damocles put on the royal dress and sat on the throne until the banquet was over. All the guest were suggested to give Damocles the same honor of the king that day used to give to king Dionysius. The heavy crown had already made his head ache. His mind was not in peace thinking that there might have been poison on the dish which was offered to him. The worst of all the had a terrible shock when he was a sharp edged naked sword suspended from the roof by single hair exactly over his own head. Realizing that the slender hair might break and that would kill him instantly, he asked permission from the tyrant to let him out from the throne. But the king Dionysius refused to do so rather he forced him to sit there throughout the feast because the intended to teach Damocles how foolish it was to sing of the happiness of Kings. Finally, when the banquet ended, he immediately came out of the throne. He happily returned from the having learnt well the wise lesson that boundless wealth doesn't necessarily bring happiness and satisfaction.

Interpretation:
This
story may be trying to tell us about something about threat and burden that the
ruler has to face during his tenure. In fact, to be a ruler is a matter of
burden oven the duties and responsibilities. For example, king Dionysius
was a famous ruler of sicily, he used to keep brilliant and skillful
person from different field to secure himself from the possible attack. In this
way, this story deals with the wise lesson that boundless wealth doesn't
necessarily bring happiness and satisfaction.
Critical Thinking:
Although
this is an interesting story, there are many things in the story which we find
disagreeable can a real king leave his throne to another person for a single
day? Do people suspend a sharp naked sword by a single hair exactly over the
king's head in reality? Can common man flatter the king in front of him? For
those reasons, we totally don't agree with the ideas of the story.
Assimilation:
After
reading this story, I remembered a real event that occurred in my life five
years ago. I was very much jealous to the principal and whit his position.
Further, I was interested to pass the time in the way he passed later on, I was
really given a change to be the principal of Galyang Boarding School. After
that the parents of the student and the staff of the school started to come
with various types of problems and challenges. On the contrary of my
expectation , I had to face different kind of challenges and obstacles to
manage and run the school smoothly. In this way, having found such challenges,
I wanted to leave the position of the principal as soon as possible.

mighty crickets. Besides this it also enjoyed the emperor by dancing in the
tune of the Zither. Then, Makegood was rewarded with many prizes he was give a
large amount of prosperities. Then after he enjoyed living his luxurious with

Interpretation:
This story clearly shows the importance of democratic government
which secures the fundamental rights of people. In the country, where there is
no freedom people con't enjoy their rights. As shown in the story Mr. Makegood
is real victim of cruel rule. Makegood desire of committing suicide and his
son's situation shows pathetic situation of people in autocratic system. So,
the this story is a critics on autocratic system. So, the this story is a critics
on autocratic government.
Critical Thinking:
Though the story presents the realistic picture of Chinese
society, there are some ideas which are not acceptable. Can a boy be
transformed into a cricket? Should a man commit suicide for minor mistake? Can
we believe upon fortune teller? For these reason I don't totally agree with
writer?
Assimilation:
After reading this
story, it reminded me abut the RANA regime in Nepal. In the past, Neaplese
condition was no better than that of Mr. Makegood in the story. People where
not allowed to have education and they had to do whatever the rulers said. So,
this story was very common to that period of Nepal.

Literal Comprehension:
Phaedo is written by Plato. When Socrates was executed,
Phaedo was with him. Pahedo describes the details about Socrates death. He says
that Socrates was very wise and brave. He perfected to die speaking the truth
of live telling a lie. He was accused of misleading the youth and causing them
to hold free opinions. So, he was arrested by authority. But he wasn't executed
immediately since the sacred mission to Delos hadn't been completed yet. So the
execution was delayed until the arrival of the ship of Athens. When the ship
came, the day of execution was fixed. One the of execution, many students
his friends and
relatives came to meet him into prison. That day had also been passed in the
usual Philosophical discussion for a long time. After that he went into another

scolded them. Finally he by down. At the end, he wished that a cock should be
offered to healing god, Aselepius. In this way the bravest wisest and most
upright man died.
Interpretation:
Interpretation:
The story is trying to say us about the importance of life and
death. In our death is inevitable. Everyone should die sooner or later. So, we
should accept death for the sake of truth, justice and prosperity. Death for
righteousness never becomes worthless. As in the story Socrates accepts the
death calmly for the sake of righteousness. He thinks that dying bravely is
more satisfactory than living cowardly. So, he accepts death for the sake of
truth and humanity.
Critical Thinking :
Though the story talks about death for the truth and humanity
but there are many ideas which are unacceptable. In this modern age, do we
believe in existence of soul and life after death? Do the modern people follow
such principles of Socrates? Was Athenian government to cruel that man couldn't
have the right to express the thoughts?
Assimilation:
After reading this
lesson I learnt a great moral lesson about the truth and justice. I must be
bold to speak the truth. If anything is wrong. Moreover, I was coward and
afraid of death. But after reading this story, I have decided to die bravely
for the sake of humanity. So, I will always hold truth, Justice and
righteousness.

Samaria during the tenure of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
One day Ahab went to Naboth to ask his vineyard which was near
his palace. So, Ahab requested him to give his vineyard as he was interested to
make a garden of herds. The king was ready to exchange another better vineyard
for it or he was ready to pay the worth of it in the way Naboth likes. However,
Naboth rejected his proposal saying that he wouldn't give the inheritance of
his father. Being heavy and displeased with the word of Naboth, the king
returned to his house and slept on the bed without eating any bread. Having
seen Ahab's sadness, Jaz'eble his wife tried to console the king. She
assured him that she would provide him the vineyard of Naboth. Then Jaz'ebel
wrote a fake letter in Ahab's name and sealed and sent them to the elders and
nobles of Naboth's city. In the letters , she had ordered them to go on fasting
and set Naboth on high among them. She also ordered them to carry him out of
the city and stone him to death for blaspheming the god and the king. They did
so and the message was sent to her about Naboth's death. After the Jaz'eble
said to Ahab ot take the vineyard of Naboth as his possession because he wasn't
alive but dead. However, the god knew everything about the crime of the king
displeased the Lord. So, the lord, sent Elijah as a message to threaten and curse
the king, Ahab.
Interpretation:
This story may be trying to tell us that powerful rulers are
wicked and cruel. But the gods are more powerful than them. As a result, even
the powerful rulers can't escape from the god's punishment and supreme judges
who can easily recognize the sin and virtue. Here, in the story, the powerful
queen misuses her power to kill Naboth. However at the end, her husband can't
escape from the curse to the god. In this way, this biblical story tells us
something about human weakness.
Critical Thinking:
After reading this story I learned that powerful people
often go beyond their duty and responsibility. However some of the ideas of the
story are not agreeable to me. Do the modern people believe on the existence of
god? If the gods are omnipotent why does the god curse Ahab rather than his
wife? Can't the god know the real sinner? So, I don't totally agree with the
idea of story.
Assimilation:
After reading this
story , I remembered another story king. Here in this story the vineyard in the
source of attraction for the king. So, untimely he gets success to make it his
possession at the end of the story.

After he put the wood into oven he recited the 1st portion of the Penitential prayers. As the wood started burning he recited the 2nd portion and when the fire was set, he recited the third portion the Litvak saw all his activities and become his disciple.
Interpretation:
In this story, the writer is trying to tell us that one should help the needy people to get the heavenly pleasure. The greatest religion of the world is humanism. Visiting temple and praying god do not make people religious and spiritual. One can get heavenly pleasure even in the world by doing good deeds. The Rabbi of Nemirov showed the value of religion by setting himself as an example. The story also tries to show that heaven is at the service of humanity.
Critical Thinking.
Although this story to teach us a high moral lesson, some of the ideas are less convincing. Is it possible for a mortal to go to heaven when he is alive? Is it possible to find such a idealist person like the Rabbi of Nemirov is real life? Do the modern people believe on existence of gods and heaven? How can he fellow the rabbi everywhere without unnoticed by him? So, I don't support the writer's ideas fully.

YUDISHTHIRAS’S WISDOM
LITERAL COMPREHENSION:
These experts have been taken from the MAHABHARAT. One of the
two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Recounting events that allegedly
took place some 2.800 years ago. The writing of this epic took place centuries
later, possibly spanning from the vedic period (about 2500 years ago) to the
early Gupta period (about 1700 years ago) According to the Hindu tradition, the
author is YAKSHA.
While Hunting for deer in forest, the five Pandava brothers grow thirsty. Exhausted Yudhisthira, the eldest sends one brother to search for water. When this brother fails to return, Yudhisthira sends his other brother one at a time , but the too fail to return. Then Ydhisthira goes to search for his brother He finds a beautiful pool but alas, hear it he finds his four brothers prostarate on the ground either dead or unconscious. Unknown to Yudhisthara, they have all ignored a Yaksha’s admonition not to drink water before answering his question. Despite his overwhelming thirst, Yudhisrthira obeys the Yaksha. Moreover, he correctly answers the Yaksha’s philosophical queries. Pleased with Yudhisthira wisdom, the Yaksha agree to revive one of the brother, leaving Yudhisthira bases his choice entirely on moral considerations, not on his own selfish need and predilections. The Yaksha reveals himself as a Yama (The god of justice and righteousness) , tells Yudhistra how pleased he is with his uprights, restores to him for bother promises him protection from future hardships, and gives him some useful advice on where to go next.

Interpretation:
The story may be trying to tell us something about the
importance of patience, obedience to gods, wisdom and right conduit. Without
these characteristics, the PANDAVA brothers would have been lost.
The Philosophical portion of course of great interest, with
reflections on such concepts as desire and courage.
Critical Thinking:
For the critical thinker, this story is a variable good mine.
Here are a few examples of what skeptics might say about this charming tale.
Are there gods out there. If so, what is the evidence for their existence? Can
we truly say that patience and right conduct are rewarded on this earth?

This story brought for
me many associations. It led me for instance , to ask again, which view is
right the one which extols desire, or the one which holds it to be the source
