FINDING FORRESTER

Agoraphobia ("fear of the marketplace" in Greek) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear of being caught or trapped in situations where no help is available should some incapacitating (e.g., losing control) or embarrassing (e.g., fainting) event occur in the presence of others.

In finding forrester,william forrester is an agoraphic in the movie,who never seems to leave his apartment.He is a brillant writer who has remained reclusive after winning a "Pulitzer prize"on his book Avalon Landing.Living alone in a changing neighborhood in the Bronx, forrester makes the acquaintance of Kamal, an intellectually gifted inner city kid, who plays street basketball and loves to write.They reluctantly hookup and forrester teaches him the intangible discipline and art of writing from the heart ,in a condition that he will keep his identity and their work as a secret.In the end Forrester and Jamal soon find that a common passion can forge an uncommon bond.

The real life american author J.D salinger and fictional character William Forrester have many things common in between them .Few of them are listed below:
*They both are notoriously reclusive authors.
*In the movie ,Forrester blocked a biography of himself that the character Prof. Robert Crawford was going to have published. Salinger did the same thing through a lawsuit against Lan Hamilton.
* Both also only wrote one book that is wildly popular: Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Forrester's Avalon Landing

'ENIMIES'

The word enemy by an authorized dictionary means a person who hates another or anything injurious or harmful. In light of these words the enemies in ‘Shooting an Elephant’ are apparently Britishers and the Burmese of one another and the Elephant.

Burmese hated Britishers because they had invaded sub continent and were ruling the area in an unjustified way. They had not only captured their land but also had treated the locals in brutal way.

Britishers on the other hand, had the power and were ruling at that time. They enjoyed their authority and abused it. They hated the local people for the sake of ruling.

George Orwell,who was the author and a police officer of the town ,was in the situation where he was confused whom to hate more because both of them were his enemies; the local people who despised him for doing a job he hated or to hate his officers and imperialism for doing injustice to
local people.

The tame Elephant turns out to be enemy of both;Burmese and George Orwell, who destroyed some body's bamboo hut and killed a black Dravidian coolie.

The difference of enmity differs from one race to another in this short story. Burmese had a valid reason for hating Britishers because they had dishonestly captured their land and were ruling them. On other hand Britishers were cold blooded and their enmity had no point.
Impulse to hate the Elephant was instant and obvious because it had caused harm and killed a person.

INTRODUCTION

I have no idea how to describe my self in words because I'm still in a process to know myself more but there is one thing I'm sure about my self is that Iwant to succeed in life no matter how hard work it takes and another thing which I'm trying to follow is that every day is a new day with new adventures,challenges plus opportunities and past should be left behind cause those who lives in their past can never enjoy their present .
Anyways what I heard about myself from my friends and family is that I'm a sweet and caring person but gets annoyed very easily .I'm stubborn and a bit too possessive about MY things no matter either they are living beings or non living.i love sports I'm a very sporty person .I don't like people interfering in my life .Most of the people thinks that they know me but actually there are certain things in my nature which are still on a dark side or in other words they are still hidden.I need appreciation for my work as I put allot of efforts and also cause appreciation is the only key which keeps me motivated plus 'hard work should be appreciated'!!!
i think that's all I can tell you about my self right now :)
