In this blog post, I will review the movie "Black" (2005), which delves into the intricate dynamics between students and teachers.        Disability studies examines the impact of society, culture, politics, and economics on the experience of disability. Emerging from the activism of disabled individuals in the 1970s, it challenges the medical perspective that views disability as a problem needing a cure. Instead, it highlights societal barriers and discrimination. Analyzing literature through the lens of disability studies allows us to discern whether narratives perpetuate stereotypes or depict disabled characters with depth and humanity. This approach enhances ou...

For this activity, we were instructed to generate a poem using AI and provide study material on the theory of deconstruction or post-structuralism as a prompt. Then, we were to ask ChatGPT to analyze the generated poem using deconstruction. Step : 1  : "Death"  Title:                                                Lullaby of the Reaper In shadows deep where silence weaves its shroud, Death walks unseen, unspoken yet unbowed. A whisper soft, it takes the final breath, With solemn grace it seals the fate of death. No king or beggar can escape its hold, In Death’s embrace, all hearts are still and cold. Yet in its grasp, a peace beyond the strife, A quiet end to pain, a rest from life. Let's deconstruct the poem on "Death" using Peter Barry's three-stage deconstructive process: verbal, t...

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 Deconstructive Analysis: Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 subverts the conventional Petrarchan sonnet that idealizes the beloved's physical beauty. The poem begins by dismantling the hyperbolic comparisons typically used to praise a lover. Th...
