His short stories portray the deep influence of nature on the lives and experiences of his child protagonists. Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth and William Blake envisaged an intimate connection between nature and childhood. Wordsworth portrays nature as a comforting retreat offering relief and revitalisation where childhood innocence is idealised. On the other hand, Blake juxtaposes childhood innocence with the grim realities of life, often using nature as a symbol for these opposing states. Bond's stories delve into the importance of nature by highlighting how various aspects of the world serve as a setting for his characters’ escapades. They explore how the distinct flora and fauna found in the Himalayan region play a significant role in shaping the characters’ perceptions and choices throughout their journeys. In addition, they focus on Bond’s portrayal of childhood, emphasising traits such as callowness, fortitude, and inquisitiveness exhibited by his characters. This paper examines how the young characters in Bond’s stories manoeuvre through the challenges of a fast-changing world and find comfort and knowledge through their interactions with nature. His storytelling not only encases the innocent and delightful aspects of childhood but also delivers a powerful message about the environment. It encourages readers to value, protect, and peacefully coexist with nature.","PeriodicalId":125811,"journal":{"name":"Creative Saplings","volume":"145 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139238307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She has a deep knowledge of the socio-political condition of India. She is an iconoclast who, in her works focussed on the miserable condition of depressed and neglected classes and tribes. Her different stories and novels shower light on the day to day happenings in the interiors of our nation. She has also talked about the quest for equal rights for each and every individual, especially for females in terms of education, health facilities, employment opportunities and social well-being. The present paper discusses “’Rudali’ and ‘The Hunt’” in the light of atrocities done to the women in their tribes and the racist response given to them. Mahasweta Devi has portrayed the protagonists Sanichari and Mary Oraon, as the representatives of modern women searching for their own identity in the modern society. She presents the pitiable and pathetic condition of tribal women with their sorrows and sufferings and, more importantly, their infuriated inner self, which worked constructively to bring them to the level of mainstream individuals by injecting the sense of respect and appreciation for them.","PeriodicalId":125811,"journal":{"name":"Creative Saplings","volume":"24 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139237637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the history of human evolution, use and analysis of signs to communicate have the utmost importance. Before verbal and written linguistic discourse, the use of signs remains in human communication. Semiotics is thought to be a structural and linguistic approach but as Saussure has asserted that semiotics is broad, inclusive and comprehensive in nature and scope, while linguistics is a part of it. Modern media is scientifically and technologically more enhanced and inclusive of various signs through technological gadgets. McLuhan regards ‘media is message’. Like language in literature, various audio-visual and graphic signs are employed for effective expression in media texts. Language is a ‘sign system’ of human communication which is mainly androcentric and needs to be challenged and explored through a feminist perspective. The idea is to study semiotics in feminist context i.e. to be regarded as ‘feminist semiotics. The emergence of the feministic approach changed perception in every field of life and brought various possible interpretations. As the signs employed in media texts mainly androcentric, the feminist semiotics attempts to expose and deconstruct them. Advertisements especially, consumer ads either in print or in electronic media are published having the notion of ‘art for market’s sake’ or ‘art for profit’s sake’ which need to be considered and analyzed as ‘media text’. In this research article, efforts are made to explore and blend feminist contextual approach with semiotics to analyze advertising texts. There is a multitude of audio-visual and electronic driven gadgets in the present digital world therefore, it needs to be interpreted from feminist semiotic perspective.","PeriodicalId":125811,"journal":{"name":"Creative Saplings","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139355431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his several critical essays and interviews Achebe has discussed the role of an author belonging to a postcolonial country, and declared that he writes his fiction with a definite role. He has penned five novels including his masterpiece Things Fall Apart (1958) in which Achebe, with his realism, has taken up the task of telling his people the greatness and weaknesses of their Ibo culture. Here, the object of his criticism is the colonizer British exercising power under the guise of a civilizing mission. On the other hand, in one of his most discussed novels Anthills of the Savannah (1987) he takes the role of a conscience builder in a new nation engulfed in cutthroat power politics; and the object of his criticism shifts to his own people, the corrupt educated elite and military officials who have failed to contribute in nation building. However, the role of women in Nigerian society is also one of the prominent issues depicted significantly in both these celebrated novels. The paper focuses on a feminist analysis of these novels with the aim to find out the changing roles of women in Nigerian society depicted in these novels. It takes recourse to the method of explication and close reading of these primary texts and the secondary data in the light of Feminist Criticism.","PeriodicalId":125811,"journal":{"name":"Creative Saplings","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139355288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
