Anjali was reading an interesting novel when she realized that it was quite late. She put down her book and reached out to switch off the light. She saw a light outside the window that opened in her sister’s room. Being curious by nature, she decided to investigate. As she neared the window, she realised that it was a fire. She was horrified and quickly ran out of the room. Her sister’s room was locked, maybe she had not seen the fire and was asleep. She started calling her sister’s name loudly. Her parents heard the noise and came there to see what the matter was. She explained about the fire and they banged on the door loudly. Her father rushed to call the fire brigade. Anjali had started crying by now and was relieved when her sister opened the door and came out. She was safe. They went inside to put off the fire and were surprised that there was no fire at all.

The causes responsible for the rise of Congress system in India – 

i. The coalition like character of the Congress gave it an unusual strength. A coalition accommodates all those who join it. So, it has to avoid any other extreme position and strike a balance on almost all issues. 

ii. Secondly, in a party that has the nature of a Coalition, there is a greater tolerance of internal differences and ambitions of various groups and leaders are accommodated. 

iii. Even if a group was not happy with the position of the party or with its share of power, it would remain inside the party and fight the other groups rather than leaving the party and becoming an ‘opposition’. These groups inside the party are called factions. 

iv. The factions took different ideological positions making the Congress appear as a grand centrist party. 

v. The other parties primarily attempted to influence these factions and thereby indirectly influenced policy 

vi. Therefore, political competitions took place within the Congress. In that sense, in the first decade of electoral competitions the Congress acted both as the ruling party as well as the opposition party with in itself. That is why this period of Indian politics has been described as the Congress System.

The given statement highlights the principle of ‘critical point control’ while analysing the deviations. 

The principle of ‘critical point control’ emphasises that the management of an organisation K should have its focus on deviations in the key areas i.e., deviations critical to performance of key activities. For example, if postal expenses increase by 10 per cent, the deviation is not important to require managerial attention. But, if cost of direct materials rise by even 1 per cent, it should receive immediate attention. Therefore, it is rightly said, “if you try to control everything you may end up by controlling nothing”. More a manager concentrates his energies on important deviations, the more effective will be the process of controlling

Gentleman of the Jungle' an allegory with a moral — political satire shows the selfish ways of the colonizers — the animals colonizer — the man colonized — the relationship of the colonizers and colonized — colonizers have arrogant attitude — they think it is their duty to reform backward classes — The story tells about the selfish deeds of the animals who think they are Jungle Lords.

Detailed Answer : 

The story 'Gentleman of the Jungle' is an allegory with a moral, emphasizing to its readers that one should ban colonialism and discrimination. It comes from the old saying 'treat others the way you want to be treated'. This political satire shows the selfish ways of colonizers. 

The present story reverses the trend where animals are portrayed as intruder and evil being. This story portrays the animals as greedy who exploit the colonized animals, whereas man is shown as colonized innocent and submissive. The animals, the colonizers had arrogant attitude. They were of the view that man couldn't understand their fundamental laws, so it was their duty to reform backward classes. They also thought that man couldn't understand their cunning, imperial and partial laws. They were over confident of their intelligence and judgment-power. Even they decided not to have anyone from the man's side on the Commission of Enquiry. Over all, the story tells us about the selfish deeds of the animals who think themselves the 'Jungle Lords

central idea is the blossoming relationship between two people, which at first, flourishes, but as the day proceeds shadows and enshroud the characters idealistic vision, taunting their honesty – disillusion with one another.

The Playwright: 

The play writer is the only person who is responsible for the starting point of the theatrical event. A playwright works in the branch of literature dealing with the writing and producing of plays for the theatre. The literary composition is written specifically for the stage in play format by the playwright.

How plays are written at any given time depends on :

1. The intended audience and purpose.

2. The playwright’s current views about the human condition.

3. How the playwright perceives the truth around him/her.

A playwright must understand and know the established artistic and theatrical conventions of the theatre. A playwright must appreciate the working procedures, materials and technical aspects of a production, because the script is the starting point of the theatrical production. There are many ways to write a play. Sometimes a playwright starts with an idea. Another playwright may begin with a single character in mind. Some playwrights base their work on spectacle. Plays can be ‘tightly structured’ or ‘episodic’. A playwright re-creates and re-states the human experiences and the universal mirror of mankind. The script is the heart of the theatrical event. It must be respected. 

Steps of the Playwright’s Work: Playwriting and creating drama for each playwright is distinctively different. Plays can develop out of any combination of starting points and patterns. The processes by which drama is created for each playwright can be varied in the steps used to create the text. 

The following list in a progressive order, but the order can change depending on each playwright’s characteristic style and preferences for writing.

1. Coming up with thought/theme/ideas to be expressed through the work.

2. Determining the genre and style of the work

3. Outlining basic action of the work and creating a plot.

4. Establishing the structure of the play and overall framework

5. The development of characters presented in the work.

6. The creation of dialogue and the language of the characters.

7. Creating music: - This can involve the rhythm of the language or actual music composition and the lyrics of the songs.

8. Establishing spectacle: - The visual and environmental elements of the work.

9. Research of subject matter and relevant issues presented in the play.

Set Designer: 

The set designer's job is to design these physical surroundings to facilitate the action of that play.  A good set design will have enough information for the audience to know the concept and approach of the director to that play. 

(1) Like a good outfit or clothing, a set has to be functional as well as beautiful. The set is created for the play and needs to help in the movements of actors and overall action as envisaged by the director. It has to enhance the vision of the director by offering creative solutions to blocking or grouping of actors in each scene. Not only the set has to help the movement but it also needs to provide an un-obstructive flow of action during the performance. Overall, the set design would set the style and tone of each play as different from any other play. 

(2) A good set gives clues, to the time and place of the action of the play. Whether the play is set in any particular historical period or contemporary times will be reflected in the design and décor of the set. The furniture pieces, properties, wall decorations etc. on stage will be selected with an intention of giving the audience sufficient detail to understand the time and place and help the action in the play. 

(3) The set will also create the right kind of atmosphere and mood for the play to be received well by the audience. With intelligent use of lines, colours, textures and shapes a designer would create this mood keeping in mind the requirement of the play. 

(4) Design of the lights too plays an important role in this aspect. 

Two qualities of a creative set designer; 

Good eye for materials, highly creative, good communication skill, creativity and imagination, excellent attention to detail, team player, organizational skill, creative flair, problem-solving skills etc.

Modernism is closely associated with the idea of the ‘avant–garde’. Avantgardes are people or works that push the boundaries of what primarily exists in the cultural realm. The concept of ‘avant-garde’ is to oppose the cultural values, thinking and to promote innovative ideas, technology, forms and experiments. 

The term ‘modernism’ is applied to various developments in all art’s in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These developments happen against realism. The new innovations are emerged in all branches of theatre, including acting, stage design, direction and playwriting. Stanislavsky, a Russian director, actor invented a ‘method’ in acting. This is widely accepted around the world. Later, the techniques of ‘method acting’ are become popular through film. In Germany Bretlot Brecht brought new dimensions to theatre. With the collaboration of Erwin Piscator, Brecht brought the concept of ‘alienation effect’ to performances. Brecht primarily rejected the concept of the fourth wall. In which actors were isolated from the audience. The fourth wall is a concept in which actors imagine an imaginary wall between them and audience so that the audience can get an illusion of reality. But Brecht rejected this idea. The ‘epic theatre’ proposes that the play should not cause the spectator to identify emotionally with the characters or action with the performance, but a play should provoke a rational self-reflection and a critical view of the action on stage. The epic theatre brought many new devices like film clippings, cartoons to the stage. The first major modernist movement in the theatre was ‘symbolism’. Edward Gordon Craig introduced symbolic scenery to stage design. Adolphe Appia, on the other hand, brought three dimensional sets on stage and created integrity between actors and design. The World War I and World War II had a greater impact on the arts. The war effects were represented in theatre performances. The new ideologies were emerged. In that, Existentialism is important. Existentialism explains the existence of human beings. The actual life of the human being is governed by the “true essence”. Human beings, through their consciousness, create their own values and meaning to their life. Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco are the important writers in the ‘Theatre of Absurd’. ‘Waiting for Godot’ is one of the well-known plays in the Absurd Theatre. 

Antonine Artaud’s works were in the 1960s. Artaud believed that the theatre should represent reality and its effect should reach the audience as much as possible. His work ‘The Theatre and Its Double’ were largely discussed. Artaud formulated his ideas into a manifesto and named it the ‘Theatre of Cruelty’. His focus is to give a sensorial experience to the audience with a combination of design and performance skills.

The adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis are:

(i) Leaves provide large surface area for maximum light absorption. 

(ii) Leaves are arranged at right angles to the light source in a way that causes overlapping. 

(iii) The extensive network of veins enables quick transport of substances to and from the mesophyll cells. 

(iv) Presence of numerous stomata for gaseous exchange. 

(v) The chloroplasts are more in number on the upper surface of leaves.

(i) Brain: It is protected by the bony box-cranium, also called as skull. Also the membranes that surround the brain (meninges) are filled with cerebrospinal fluid that act as shock absorbers protecting the brain.

Power sharing is a strategy, wherein all the major segments of society are provided with a permanent share of power in the governance of the country.
Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. 

None of these organs can exercise unlimited power as each organ checks the others. In a federal form of government, power can be divided between the Central Government and the State Government as well as at the Local Government level. Power may be shared among different social groups, such as religious and linguistic groups. Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups and social movements control or influence those in power.

Even before the advent of electricity, light became an integral part of the play when theatre moved indoors. No technique since the beginning of the theatre has added so much of expressiveness to stage-craft than Lights. Thoughts, inner tensions etc. can be easily accentuated with creative lighting. The light must focus attention on the characters rather than on the set, except, perhaps in the beginning of the play. Also, different acting areas must be intensified or toned down in relation to their importance at a given time or specific situation.

Costume Designing is one of the most important departments of theatre production. Along with the script, setting, actors and music, the clothing and various costumes worn in a play have a very important role to fulfill. They can make the characters interesting and believable, sad or funny, good or evil, and they can greatly influence-sometimes at a subconscious level-how the audience sees the characters that wear them. They reflect the time and place in which the character lives, his social standing, his present circumstances and his emotional state.
