A Muslim girl goes to
school, story of a single girl in a family after many brothers with a dream of
father who wants to send her school, for passing her the matriculation exam.
Basically in story she writes her own life story that when she got birth in a
Muslim family of northern part of Kerala, on a coastal area where she
experiences things like flood and all. She lives along with her grandparents their
then she came at her own place. She was like a girl with full enthusiasm and wants
to experience each and every moment new things so in her school also she was
very good at sports and more than studies she wants to play sports more, as her
father wants her to study but she wants to live her life not in that manner.
In this story as it was
about the Muslim girl and which was from Kerala, where her father wants to send
her school so that if she would pass exam and it will encourage other girls
also so that they can study but the other part is he only wants her to study
and not to enjoy or to do any other activity. Once in a story she played
basketball in her school so his father told her that don’t do this that even in
our society we are sending you to school only for study but this thing she can’t
get that these things. Along with that her mother part is like she was secular in
religion thing like reading their religion book in Hindu people house and she
has her views in that thing but in behaving of her girl or to send her school
she was not in favour of that. Whenever if she does not want to study or anything
happens which make any possibility to make her out of school she will be happy.
She only wants to get her marry as other and even in Muslim society according to
thinking there is more restriction to these girls than other.
In the story, this was
basically an autobiographical narrative of the author of her life time story,
how she was able to write it and have in position to get a chance to go to
school. I found it like as I am reading it I can imagine things what was
happening their but not exactly because we can’t imagine those years but a
basic picture and then the restriction or things which parents generally told
girls to behave in a certain way don’t do it like this and all. So all these
things are connectable to a reader basically it is transactional because in our
group discussion also we got up with many example not from Kerala but from
other parts of country like Rajasthan, are their girls able to go to school.
So this story is very
helpful in able to connect in sociocultural aspects and in a literary elements
we could use this story for middle school level children in language and it
will be the good narrative for social science studies also.
I think navneet the sense of the plot was strong in your write as you used it strongly but , I think that the use of the rest of the characters was not done strongly. If analyse the rest of the part of the story we can say the description which you have done was good.
