Comment upon the narrative structure of the novel On@tcc
Mostly people
like fantasy, because it gives ecstasy to us that's why in this story he has used mysterious elements, like God. Always this is an end of the story in childhood when grandfather
or grandmother tales a story.
અને દાદા પછી
શું કર્યું ?
દાદા: પછી
ખાધું પીધું અને રાજ કર્યું.
People mostly believe that, if God is there than everything will be good. So here with the help of God, writer has given a happy
ending.
Book
'Life of Pi' is a novel by Yann Martel, it was published in 2001.
'One night @ the call center' novel was published in 2005.
The narrative structure of On@tcc, it can find a similar narrative structure as a 'Life of Pi' novel. It may possible that Chetan Bhagat
got a hint from that novel about narrative technique because in both novel the element of God is there and tricks to describe things to people with logically
and mysteriously also.
I've not read that novel but with the help of quotes,
summary and class discussion, I can say, Yann Martel, did deep observation
about Indian places, schools, faith, spirituality, and religion and life of the
animal world and ocean in his book, even he is not an Indian.
Yann Martel has a deep observation and classical thinking
about life where Chetan Bhagat is more practical.
Here we can see the difference of the mindset
“You must take life the way it comes at you
and make the best of it.”
-Yann Martel, Life of Pi
“as with money in your wallet the world
gives you some respect and lets you breathe.”
- Chetan Bhagat, One Night @ the Call
Center
Movie
'Life of Pi' is directed by Ang Lee, published in 2012.
'Hello' movie is based on On@tcc, it's directed by Atul
Agnihotri, published in 2008
In the movie, Atul Agnihotri changed many things, he used
a helicopter and lounge for a conversation with a lady rather Train as per the novel, other things are okay okay types, he worked well in camera study in a
few scenes but not good as Ang lee did in Life of Pi.
Is on@tcc self-help book?
Is on@tcc self-help book?
Every day of life is not the same, day
by day we face different types of experience and sometimes when we get a failure
at that time we need motivation. There are many books and nowadays videos also
available but some people write these types of book to make money so it depends
on the person who has written the book so we need
something different or more convenience things like
(સનાતન સત્ય, જે હંમેશા વધુ સાચું હોય અને બધાને લાગુ પડતું હોય મુશ્કેલી સમયે)
For example:
ચાણક્યનીતિ
Some Theology books like શ્રીમદ ભગવતગીતા (ક્રુષ્ણ ઉપદેશ)
Here, in the On@tcc in last part, it can find that,
God comes and said to them I am with you. One thing is that he will not say
Tathastu and you will get everything whatever you want but he just gives
guidance to 6 people and they must work on the way with thinking and smart
work. It is like you are helping you with the help of self.
A self-help book is one that written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. The
books take their name from Self-Help, an 1859 best-seller by Samuel Smiles, but are also known and classified under "self-improvement", a term that is a modernized version of self-help.
Self-help books moved from a niche position to being a postmodern cultural phenomenon in the late twentieth century
