...Ruskin Bond was born on 19 May 1934 in a military hospital in Kasauli, to Edith Clerke and Aubrey Bond. His siblings were Ellen and William. Ruskin's father was with the Royal Air Force. When Bond was four years old, his mother separated from his father and married a Punjabi-Hindu, Mr. Hari, who himself had been married once. Bond spent his early childhood in Jamnagar and Shimla. At the age of ten Ruskin went to live at his grandmother's house in Dehradun after his father's sudden death in 1944 from malaria. Ruskin was raised by his mother. He completed his schooling at Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, from where he graduated in 1952 after winning several writing competitions in the school like the Irwin Divinity Prize and the Hailey Literature Prize. Following his high school education he went to his aunt's house in England and stayed there for four years. In London he started writing his first novel, The Room on the Roof, the semi-autobiographical story of the orphaned Anglo-Indian boy Rusty. It won the 1957 John Llewellyn Rhys prize, awarded to a British Commonwealth writer under 30. Bond used the advance money from the book to pay the sea passage to Bombay. He worked for some years as a journalist in Delhi and Dehradun. Since 1963 he has lived as a freelance writer in Mussoorie, a town in the Himalayan foothills.[1] He wrote Vagrants in the Valley, as a sequel to The Room on the Roof. These two novels were published in one volume by Penguin India in 1993. The following year...

...Conclusion During the Victorian era, men and women searched for an ideal relationship based on the expectations of a demanding society. After reading the researched expectations of men and women of the Victorian era and relating them to Wilde’s two works, this research study can acknowledge the effect the expectations have on these characters; especially the men. Analyzing the characters in Oscar Wilde’s works, The Importance of Being Earnest and A Woman of No Importance, show how the expectations of society effects the characters’ behaviour and their reaction to society’s ideals. Oscar Wilde examines the impact of Victorian society’s unrealistic expectations on the individual in The Importance of Being Earnest and A Woman of No Importance, showing how rejection, whether from a potential partner or society as a whole, can lead to deceit and engaging in a double life in order to satisfy conventions. As it stands, these comedies are the fullest embodiment of Wilde’s lifelong assault upon commonplace life and commonplace values. It was inevitable that the conventional world should strike back at Wilde, at his character and his ideas, if not specifically at his play, but the speed and cruelty of the world’s retribution surpassed expectation. Four days after the opening of his last and finest comedy, the succession of events began that brought about his disgrace, imprisonment and exile. Wilde felt strongly that men and women should be treated equally when it came to sexual matters...

...One of the less well known and appreciated genre’s of art was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s style. The first The Pre-Raphaelites, like the Romantics, were great lovers of nature. They believed in showing things as they truly were. Many Romantics, and especially those that belonged to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, did not agree with the classical beliefs being taught in art schools. These ideals required artists to beautify their subjects. For this reason many followers of this movement painted their landscapes outdoors and used real models4. They also composed their pictures with out any specific formula3. They chose not to use pyramidal constructions and other classical rules that were taught in many of the art schools. Instead of coming across as sloppy and rushed, many of their pictures appeared very realistic; as opposed to the classical compositions that were so formulaic they became boring and stiff. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was formed in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt2. They had all attended the Royal Academy of arts together and were trained in the classical style of painting5. This style was very routine and repetitive. The three founders wanted to do something more original, something not identical to the late painter Raphael. The origin of their organization's name stemmed from their ambition to get away from the purely Raphaelesque paintings of the day4. Unfortunately, the art critics and general...

...The Importance of Not Being Earnest In a society where intricately developed double lives and irrevocable obsessions with ideals and fantasies are the norm, there is bound to be mass confusion and colliding paths. As a result, two significant questions arise: What is truth and who verifies its legitimacy? Oscar Wilde states in regards to his play, “We should treat all the trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality” (1829), which perfectly exemplifies the overall mindset of the characters in The Importance of Being Earnest and provides a broad template for reinterpretation. A focus on the seriousness behind the irony and epigrams within the play could be followed, or contrastingly on the overwhelming ridiculousness of the language and actions. In the Oliver Parker’s 2002 film adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest, the hypocrisy of Victorian social statuses and the very definition of truth are turned on their heads, highlighting with flippant humor the various struggles with self-identity, while serving a collaborative portion of Romantic and Postmodern concepts. Overall, the tone of the movie could be described as light and jovial, with spurts of solemnity amongst witty and nonsensical banter. While the lively music, beautiful scenery, and easiness of viewing produce a pleasant mood, they collectively toss a thin veil over the profoundness of Wilde’s comical, yet highly satirical, play. Quite a few measures...

...Understanding the female judoka’s coach-athlete relationship: a British perspective. Katrina McDonald and Maki Tsukada Department of Life Sciences, Anglia Ruskin University The purpose of this study is to examine the coach-athlete relationship, to gain a greater understanding into the relationship between female judo athletes and their coach. To explore what is felt as important, the dynamics in the relationship and does the athlete’s opinion differ from that of the coach. A greater understanding to the relationship between an athlete and coach needs to be appraised so that any proposed theories can be examined in the practical/applied domain and whether the proposed theories behind the complex interactions are offering a great enough insight to the reality. Introduction The researchers for this project are both coaches who currently work in their National set ups for England and Japan. The initial idea for the investigation came from Maki Tsukada’s two year observation of the British system, and also a reflection on the London 2012 Olympics and the coach-athlete interaction. Coaches came under scrutiny from the results of the Olympics, which made it pertinent to examine the relationship between the coach and athlete, to try and ensure that it does not disintegrate. The wider impact of the study will mean that coaches will have a greater understanding of how to build and work at their relationship with their athletes and understand what the important dynamics are within...
