"To Kill a Mocking Bird" in progress at the Gallery Classroom [S-220] today.
Ludic, the Film Appreciation Club of The English Association, [TEA-MCC], took off to a flying
start today, with the screening of "To Kill A Mocking Bird".
More than
a hundred
students turned up for the maiden screening of LUDIC, which took place in
S-220, in the Science Block.
Dr. Ganesh,
initially presented
the students with the aim and scope of LUDIC, and also announced a prize money
for students who came up with the best critique of the film, after watching it.
About the
Book Version
To
Kill a Mockingbird is
one of the best-loved and most memorable of stories in world literature.
Regarded
as the quintessential
American novel, the book unveils human nature in all its complexity! A book
that almost everyone reads at some point in their lives!
The most
interesting
aspect of this novel is that the whole story, is narrated by a child – an eight-year
old’s perspective! [something akin to Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice-Candy Man, a
novel that speaks about the horrors of Partition, narrated in the first-person by
Lenny, a Parsee child who is four years old, and turns ten by the time the
novel ends].
The novel
carries a
poignant message that is so relevant even today – haunting, impacting and
reverberating in our minds and hearts, even after the last line of the last
chapter is done!
