  THIS IS GOING TO HURT JUST A LITTLE BIT                                               Ogden Nash Critical Appreciation of the poem          The poem “This is Going to Hurt Just a Little Bit” is a humorous graphic  description of the experience of the poet while sitting in a dentist’s chair.

Activity - II (Write-up) Prepare a write-up on a ritual popular in your locality       A ritual very popular in Kerala is the "laying of floral carpets" during the festival of Onam. A small statue of 'Onathappan' or King Mahabali is placed at the centre of the floral carpet. Flowers are thrown and scattered around the statue to welcome Mahabali for his annual visit. This is done to keep fresh the memories of the ancient legend of king Mahabali and Vamana. When Vamana was about to push King Mahabali down to the under world, king Mahabali asked for permission to visit his subjects every year which was promptly granted. This has resulted in the ritual of laying floral carpets to welcome Mahabali Thampuran. The colourful spread of flowers, remind us of the colour and happiness Kerala experienced during his rule. Imitation of old practices promote brotherhood among natives. Activity III (Travel Brochure) Prepare a travel brochure of a place of your choice.
