 Introduction
Julian Barnes is a contemporary English writer of Postmodernism in literature. He was more famous for his prosaic style, who was born in Leister on 19 January 1946 and was educated at the city of London school and magladen college Oxford.

The Sense of an Ending is about the person’s memory of youthful days. The novella is divided into two divisions. The divisions are entitled as Part1 and Part2. The first part begins in the 1960s.It begins with four intellectually arrogant school friends. We are told two friends out of four. The first one is Tony Webster who is the narrator of the story and the second one is Adrian the most talented and intelligent among four.


When they were in the last year of the college, a boy killed himself after getting a girl pregnant. Thus, The Sense of an Ending is not just person’s story; it is a story of a network of relationships between Tony Webster and Veronica but whose ending is this! That we cannot understand.

Themes
              Julian Barnes here justifies the Universal Truth that “One cannot know what he does not know” – with the reference of Tony Webster that he never understand the words of Veronica, When Tony asked Veronica bout the Money at that time she replied with very tragic answer “Blood Money”.  When Tony asked about other things at that time Veronica also replied with unaccepted answer: -

"You still don’t get it. You never did, and you never will. So stop even trying”.





Imperfection of Memory:




           The central theme of the novel is weakness of memory. Through the narrative of Tony Webster and his search for reason of Adrian’s death tries to justify one thing that is imperfection of memory, how our partial memory mislead us! Throughout the novel, writer tries to prove human memory and how it creates assumption on human mind.

                       As ‘The Sense of an Ending’ is memory novel, narrative also tries to give effect of fragmented memory. In the first part Tony tells his story of schooldays, all the events are in order and narrative has particular flow. But at the end of the first part narrative moves faster like “Time passes” section of ‘To the Lighthouse’. In only a paragraph the narrator tells about his marriage and divorce with Margaret, story of 40 years is told in some lines only. And the second part moves so slowly that, events are some but covers half novel.

                         In first part the narrator tells the story of 40 years ago. He says the events which he knows and considers as important. Second section is much important, because there is an event happen to Tony and he becomes nostalgic and narrates another event of his past. He tries to revaluate his past.  In this revaluation, he narrates the event of his past with different dimension and which are not so important according to his memory. Like, his letter to Adrian and Veronica, he informs when and why he wrote, which he did not narrate in first section before 40 years ago. This suggests that how memory is partial and fragmented.

                     “Well, in one sense, I can’t know what it is that I don’t know. That’s philosophically Self-evident.” Adrian’s this sentence is heart of the novel. Because of imperfection and weakness of memory, we cannot reach to reality as we have an assumption that whatever our memory suggests is only reality. Tony did not get sense about many things, about young Adrian; because his memory tells him one thing that Adrian has relationship with Veronica. Having this memory, he is in assumption that, young Adrian may is Veronica and Adrian’s son. He even doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, means he cannot bring himself out of his memory and cannot have view that, perhaps Adrian had relationship with other.

                      So, he cannot even guess that, Adrian was in love with Mrs. Sarah Ford! The mysterious story is actually invented to show how memory works. The writer clearly tells many interesting lines about memory, which shows that the main theme, core idea of the novel is to show imperfection of memory. Even the theme itself deconstructs Tony’s narration with his own soliloquies!

History:

                       With criticising memory, the novel also questions history. One of the central ideas the novel pointed is unreliability of history. “‘History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.’ ” It clearly says that what we believe history as truth is unreliable.

                     If human memory is partial than one cannot rely history or documentation done by man with his partial memory. With history classes of Old Joe Hunt, novel tries to develop this idea. The discussion about causes of world war, history is questioned. Adrian with example of Robson, very beautifully describes history as unreliable and not truth. Many ways novel tries to deconstruct given history.

                      It has some very good lines about history. The novel also focuses on objectiveness of historian. Because, one cannot be objective, as he cannot come out from his personal assumptions and cast of mind though he want to be. Even he cannot know what he doesn’t know. So, what the historian describes is according to his partial memory, imperfect knowledge and personal perceptions.

                         For objecting history, narrator gives his own example and his life, his story, (which he told) his mind, memory which cannot get sense are portrayed to prove how one cannot reach to the truth and creates stories, how one makes time personal and invents different version of past! As narrator says, “The history that happens underneath our noses ought to be the clearest, and yet it’s the most deliquescent. We live in time, it bounds us and defines us, and time is supposed to measure history, isn’t it? But if we can’t understand time, can’t grasp its mysteries of pace and progress, what chance do we have with history—even our own small, personal, largely undocumented piece of it?”

Eros and Thanatos:

Eros and Thanatos – Greek Myth
Eros – denotes romantic or intimate love, god of love, desire, sex.
Thantos - In Greek mythology was demon personification of death.
Minor figure in Greek Mythology
Eros Drive for survival, life instinct, pleasure, reproduction, and basic instincts like sex hunger and thirst.  These elements are necessary to preserve life Energy created by life instinct is also known as Libido
“The drive to preserve living substance and bring it together in larger unit.”  Eros is associated with behaviors that supports harmony among people such as love, collaboration and cooperation.

Thantos

counter part of Eros, Eros and Thanatos are both help define one another in that one is ‘not the other.’ drive to return to state of calm or dead state. It includes..negative feelings like hate, anger and aggression.
It is associated with anti-social behavior. “Born to die”, it drives human to engage in activities that bring them closer to death ………..cont...




Eros and Thanatos in The Sense of an Ending References in Text

‘Eros and Thanatos, sir.’-Adrian
Adrian-‘Sex and death,’ ‘Or love and death, if you prefer. The erotic principle, in any case, coming into conflict with the death principle. And what ensues from that conflict.(Barnes, 2011) Robson of the Science Sixth had passed away during the weekend. ‘Thanatos wins again.’
‘First-class degree, first class suicide,’


                  One of the major themes of the novel is “sex and death”. From the very beginning, the idea is established through the English class of Phil Dixon. Even suicide of the student-Robson is put appropriately. Because of having sexual relationship with girl, he has to commit suicide. “Thanatos weans again” Adrian spoke about Robson’s case. But how it will turn in reality in Adrian’s life also. Adrian who is more intelligent, mature, serious, philosopher became victim of the same thing and in his case also Thanatos weans. His sexual relation with a woman who is almost as old as his mother becomes reason of his suicide.

                The idea, presented at the beginning with English class, followed by Robson’s suicide is carried throughout the novel and at the end reached its extreme level with enclosing Adrian’s reason for death. Even the novel tries to say that “Eros and Thanatos” always destroys human life. With example of young Adrian, his abnormality, it can be proved.

Existentialism:

With Adrian’s philosophical ideas, the novel represents existentialist ideas. The well- known ideas of Albert Camus are shown in the novel. As Camus says, suicide was the only true philosophical question… Adrian, as existentialist, commits suicide in very young age. Even his way of killing himself is very significant in philosophical sense. He did not kill himself with out of mind but at very conscious mental state, he planned and performed. Some existentialist ideas, the novel presents are as following…
“he had explained his reasoning: that life is a gift bestowed without anyone asking for it; that the thinking person has a philosophical duty to examine both the nature of life and the conditions it comes with; and that if this person decides to renounce the gift no one asks for, it is a moral and human duty to act on the consequences of that decision.”

“My philosopher friend, who gazed on life and decided that any responsible, thinking individual should have the right to reject this gift that had never been asked for—and whose noble gesture re-emphasised with each passing decade the compromise and littleness that most lives consist of. “Most lives”: my life.”

“Camus said that suicide was the only true philosophical question.” - Adrian

Existentialism Vs Eros and Thanatos:

The novel is open ended about these two topics. Reason of Adrian’s suicide is not clearly given. But the facts about his life, before his death is revealed. His philosophical, existentialist ideas suggest that he was mature and serious about his way of living. Like an existentialist, he was having anxiety and restlessness about human life. So, these facts suggest that perhaps following his existentialist mentality, he commits suicide. In their school days, one of their classmates commits suicide because he made one girl pregnant. The reference of this story strongly focuses on idea of Eros and Thanatos.
 Even the novel ends with revealing facts about Adrian’s sexual relationship with Mrs. Sarah Ford quite before his suicide. It means, we can judge that, the writer may want to say, even Adrian is mature serious and has philosophical ideas cannot escape from very cheap trap of Eros and Thanatos. But we can also conclude against that idea that, perhaps, Adrian’s relationship and following events are only side kick of Adrian’s strong existentialist ideas on ending his life, the seed of suicide are already there.

There are many such questions which are not answered in the novel but readers can interpret with their own sense:---

Why Mrs. Ford has Adrian’s Diary?
What was the intention of Veronica to write Blood Money?
Why only one page of Adrian’s Diary allowed seeing Tony?
What is the meaning of Veronica’s statement You still don’t get it. You never did, and you never will. So stop even trying”.
What is the meaning of the mathematical equation:
b = s – v x/+ a1
a2 + v + a1 X s = b

Introduction 

Cultural conflict is one of the most striking points in African poetry. In African what is culture and tradition that seems uncultured or peculiar to the western. African poet Gobriel Okara focuses the ice cold attitude of Europeans to the African culture. In African what is traditional and cultured and humorous to Europeans. They also represent the African culture in humiliated sense. Gabriel Jibaba Okara was born on 24 April in 1921. He is a Nigerian poet and novelist who were born in Bomoundi in Bayelsa state, Nigeria. He was awarded the commonwealth poetry award in 1979. His most famous poem is "Piano and Drums". His famous poem is "You laughed & laughed & laughed". It's a frequent feature of anthologies.

Okara is worried about the attack of Western culturemover the African ancient culture. His poem "Once upon a time" deals with the same theme. Also his novel' The Voice ' depicts this theme. Its protagonist Okara, like many post colonial. Africans is hunted by society and society by his own ideals. Unfortunately many of Okara' s manuscripts have been destroyed in the civil war. Gabriel Okara was born in Nigeria when there was a British colony and, indeed, it would be nearly forty years before his country was to gain independence in October 1960.During his life, Okara did jobs like, initially working as a book binder, journalist, radio broadcaster and newspaper editor. He has also travelled to the USA where he helped raise money for Nigeria by giving poetry mrecitals.

Okara’s poems tend reflect the problems that African nations face as they are torn between the culture of their European colonists and their traditional African heritage. He also looks at the traumatic effect that colonization and Decolonization can have on the self and a one's sense of personal identity. For example Okara often depicts characters suffering from 'Culture shock' as they are torn between these two irreconcilable cultures. On the one hand there is Christianity and the definite material benefits such as classroom education and well paid jobs that the European way of life offers, while on the other hand, there is the unspoken expectation that the 'true' African was allegiance to his original tribal culture and should embrace these 'roots'. This contrast is summed up nicely by another African poet called Mabel segue in the following lines:

“Here we stand
Infants overblown
Packed between two
civilizations
Finding the balance
irksome”.

As a result of this divide Okara seems to suggest many modern Africans do not know ‘who they are’ or ‘what they should be’. His poem ‘Once Upon a Time’ clearly describes the problems that can arise when the culture of ancient Africa & Modern Europe clash leaving people without a clear sense of how to behave & where to look for Once Upon a Time Okara examines the contrast between the modern culture and his African ancient culture. He wants Africans to be positive for their right future. Okara’s work, like other poets work deals with the theme of Negritude. In addition to recurrent anger at the atrocities of slavery and colonization Negritude worship anything African and use scintillating rhythms or vibrant descriptors to personifying or indeed defying their homeland.

‘Once Upon Time’ was written as a conversation of father and son. It is Okara’s style tomexplain what happens when a traditional African culture meets the forces of the western way of life. I think the poem ridicules the fake personalities of many people and to try and get then to return to a natural and innocent state. If we compose ‘Once Upon a Time’ and ‘Coleridge Jackson’, we find that both the poems show how black people have been treated in western society by racist individuals. The poem discusses the conversation between what seems to be a father wants to learn from his son how to go back to normality and no longer be fake. The poem ‘Once Upon a Time’ starts by the father telling his son how the people or they used to laugh with their hearts. I think that the word ‘they’ refers to western people who are while the poems description gives the impression of genuine emotion given off by the people. The poet further says that now they only laugh with their teeth, while their ice back cold eyes search behind his shadow’. This indicates fake negative and false feelings and it is a very cold description. This affects the tone of the poem that now becomes sinister and bitter. The lines….

‘ They used to shake hands with their hearts’
Shows
true and genuine emotion the first stanza
presents the reality…
"Now they only shake hands without hearts
while their left hands search
my empty pockets”.

The above lines again deal with the precedence of the people. The stanza three explain more about the changes he has noticed in this false people. But the phases ‘Feel at home’! Come again, but then the poet goes on to say that he will come again ‘Once’, Twice’ but there will ‘Be no more trice’ ‘for then I find doors shut on me’. This shows that the falseness is seen in human being everywhere.

In stanza four there is the adaptations and solutions that the man has found to counter the problems. It begins by saving that the man has ’learned many things’, already suggesting that he has changed to fit in. The poet explainsthe things he has learn. He says that he has learn to ‘Wear’ the faces and informs that he wears faces for different situations. For example, he tells us that he has an

‘office face’,
‘Street face’ and ‘Host face’.

The stanza five deals with the fake attributes to go along with the fake looks. This poem has many repetitions. The poet says that he has also ‘learned to laugh with only his teeth’ and ‘shakes hand without his heart’. The poet  criticizes the western ways that is adopted. The man seems to be the man that is ashamed of himself and is confessing to his son how for the fake attitudes have developed. The sixth and seventh stanza shows the
regret as he says….
"I want to be what I used to be
when I was like you’ I want”.

Showing that he wants to be honest and truthful again. Mystic Drum The Mystic Drum is Okara’s love lyric. The Mystic Drum evinces a tripartite ritual pattern of imitation from innocence through intimacy to experience. By comparison to the way of zone as manifested in the experience of Zen master, Chin Yuan Wei Asian this pattern resolves itself into an emotional and epistemic logical journey from conventional knowledge through more intimate knowledge to learn of experience empowers the lover to understand that beneath the surface attractiveness of what we know very well may lie an abyss of the unknown and unknowable belching darkness. But experience teaches us at this stage of substantial knowledge not to expose ourselves to the dangers of being beholden to this unknown and unknowable reality by keeping our passions under strict control including the prudent decision to ‘pack’ the ‘Mystic Drum’ of our innocence and evanescence making sure that it does not ‘beat so loud anymore’.

Okara mentions in one of his interviews that “The Mystic Drum” is essentially a have poem: “This was a lady I loved and she coyly was not responding directly but, I adored her. Her demeanor seemed to mask her true feelings; at a distance, she seemed adoring however on coming closer, she was after all, not what she seemed.” This lady may stand as an emblem that represents the lure of western life; how it seemed appealing at first but later seemed distasteful to the poet.

The Mystic Drum and Lines:

“The mystic drum beat in my inside
and fishes danced in the rivers
and men and women danced on land
to the rhythm of my drum”
“But standing behind a tree
with leaves around her waist
she only smiled with a shake of her
head.”

“The drum in African poems generally stands for the spiritual pulse of traditional African life. The poet asserts that first as the drum beat inside him fishes danced in the rivers and man and women danced on the land to the rhythm of the drum. But standing behind the tree there stood an outsider who smiled with an air of indifference at the richness of their culture; however the drum still continued to beat rippling the air with quickened tempo compelling the dead to dance and sing with their shadows. The ancestral glory overpowers other considerations: so powerful is the Mystic drum, that it brings back even the dead alive. The rhythm of the drum is the aching for an ideal Nigerian state of harmony. The outsider is used in the poem for western imperialism that was looked down upon anything Eastern, nonwestern, alien and therefore incomprehensible for their own good as the other.


The African culture is so much in tune with nature that the Mystic drum invokes the sun, the moon, the river gods and the trees began to dance. The gap finally gets bridged between humanity and nature, the animal world and human world, the hydrosphere and lithosphere that fishes turned men, and men became fishes. But later as the Mystic drum stopped beating, men became men, and fishes became fishes. Life now became dry, logical and mechanical thanks to western scientific imperialism and everything found its place. Leaves started sprouting on the woman she started to flourish on the land. Gradually her roots struck the ground. Spreading a kind of parched rationalism smoke issued from her lips and her lips parted in smile.

 The term ‘smoke’ is also suggestive of the pollution caused by industrialization and also the clouding of morals ultimately the speaker was left in belching darkness, completely cut off from the heart of his culture and he packed the Mystic drum not to beat loudly anymore. The ‘belching darkness’ alludes to the futility and hollowness the imposed existence. The outside at first only has an objective role standing behind a tree. Eventually, she intrudes and tries to behave their spiritual life. The leaves around her waist are very much suggestive of eve who adorned the same after losing her innocence. Leaves stop growing on the trees but only sprout on her head implying deforestation. The refrain reminds us again and again that this Eve turns out to be the eve of Nigerian damnation. Rukhaya M.k.
Were I to Choose
“When Adam broke the stone
and red streams reged down to
gather in the womb,
an angel calmed the storm”,
“And I, the breath mewed
in Cain, unbliniking gaze
at the world without
from the brink of an age”.

Gabriel is immersed in folk tradition and ballad influences of tradition and culture are found in his poem. His poems are regional as well as universal. His poems are sometimes lyrical and full of music. The poem ‘Were I to choose’ is reminiscent of yeast poem called “Adam’s Curse.” The poet has tried to compare Adam’s toiling in the soil with the Negros working in the soil. They broke the stone themselves which was their very foundation. The red streams are symbolized for the multilingual diversity that reaches the womb Africa. Cain in this poem metaphorically represents the next generation. ‘I’ in Okara’s poems generally refers to the tribe. The poet implies that he is currently imprisoned in the present generation and the crisis of identity of generation. The earlier generations gaze would not go beyond; but he does and to him the world is looked at from the brink.

The poem is written in 1950, the period of Nigerian independence, the poet sees his ancestorstheir slavery, their groping lips, the breasts molted by heartrending suffering. The poet’s vision goes outside and backgrounds. The memory is like a thread going through his ears. The poet compares Cain with modern man, Cain was a wonderer and if he was caught by anybody, he would be definitely slain. Similar is the condition of the modern uneducated man who does not pass any aim. The poet, at the age of 31, is multilingual and thinks about the medium of his instruction. The tower of Babel symbolizes unity. When the ‘Tower of Babel’ was constructed, God
cursed the concerned people. The people wanted to construct a great tower signifying oneness and around it people would stand united. They wanted to speak the same language but God despised themact. There is no proper foundation or structure mremaining. His world has deteriorated to ‘world of bones’.

"And O of this dark halo
were the tired head free.
And when the harmattan
of days has parched the throat
and skin, and sucked the
fever of the head away".

Then the massive dark descends, and flesh and bone are razed. And (O were I to choose) I’d cheatthe worms and silence seek in stone”. The poet now wants to free himself from the imprisonment of this dark ‘halo’ who is generally considered as ‘blessed; but seems dark to him. His conflict is not being able to choose from the languages. He is torn between worlds. The poet likens his predicament with mingling with dust during the month December to February in Nigeria. The throat is dry and he is unable to speak out. He is delirious ass the flames of torture are burning his existence. The colonial period has made the poet an amalgam of European and African cultures, and now he finds himself in a no man’s land. He relishes the idea of resolving the crisis by seeking refuge in the silence of the grave. He then would be cheating the worms because he would enjoy that state of affairs.

Conclusion:

Gabriel Okara in the above discussed poems discusses the same problem of loss of his ancient heritage due to the invasion of western culture. He considers the invasion as an enemy whom it is not easy to conquer. During to the British imperialism the South African culture, the poet’s ancient heritage was ruined. The poet is worried about his country men who are torn between the two cultures but cannot accept one.

Introduction




             Advertising is a form of communication used to persuade an audience to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or series. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various mass media such as newspapers, magazines, television commercial, radio advertisement, outdoor ad or direct mail or new media such websites and texts messages.

Origin

The origins of advertising lie thousands of years in the past. One of the first known methods of advertising was an outdoor display, usually an eye catching sign painted on the wall of a building. Archaeologists have uncovered many such signs, notably in the ruins of ancient Rome and Pompeii. An outdoor advertisement excavated in Rome offers property for rent, and one found painted on a wall in Pompeii calls the attention of travelers to a tavern situated in another town.

               In Latin, advertere means "to turn toward”. The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various old media ;including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television advertisement, radioadvertisement, outdoor advertising or directmail;Or new media such as blogs, websites or text messages.

        Modern advertising was created with the innovative techniques introduced with tobacco advertising in the 1920s, most significantly with the campaigns of Edward Bernays, which is often considered the founder of modern, Madison Avenue advertising.

History of Advertisement

Wall or rock painting forcommercial advertising is another manifestation of an ancient advertising form, which is present to thisday in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. The tradition of wall painting can be traced backto Indian rock art paintings that date back to 4000 BC.

     In the 18th century advertisements started to appear in weekly newspapers in England. These early print advertisements were used mainly to promote books and newspapers, which became increasingly affordable with advances in the printing press;And medicines, which were increasingly sought after as disease ravaged Europe .However, false advertising and so called "quack" advertisements, became a problem, which ushered in the regulation of advertising content.

          19th century advertisement history Thomas J. Barratt from London has been called "the father of modern advertising.” Working for the Pears Soap Company, Barratt created an effective advertising campaign forthe company products, which involved the use of targeted slogans, images and phrases. One of his slogans, “Goodmorning. Have you used Pears' soap?" was famous in its day and into the 20th centuryUnder Barratt's guidance, Pears Soap became the world's first legally registered brand.
