4.2 The Accursed House" by Emile :-

The Accursed House" by Emile :-શાપિત, તિરસ્કરણીય.

 GaboriauVimcomte inherit his Grand uncle’s property and being man of principals, decides to reduce the exorbitant અતિશય rent charged by his uncle. With good intentions, he hopes to win his tenants’ભાડૂતો hearts. But, he surely misunderstood his tenants’ when they learn of their new landlord’ s benevolence.ઉદારતા

They doubt that there must be something terribly wrong with the building. In no time, rumours of the building being dilapidated જર્જરિત, haunted ભૂતિયા and bearing સહન illegal activities start spreading like fire in jungle. People even brand him as a criminal hiding something suspicious શંકાસ્પદ in the building. His reputation dwindles ઘટે છે. Poor Vimcomte, who set out to do a charity work is blamed for bringing bad name and ill-luck દુર્ભાગ્ય to his illustrious પ્રસિદ્ધ family.

_____________________________________

This seems entirely true of this world. People cannot digest any unsolicited(not asked for) favour. An innocent action creates deadly Tsunami, the charity is unheeded ધ્યાન ન આપ્યુ.

Irony કટાક્ષવચન is indeed a companion સાથી of innocence. Nobody can believe that the other person’s intentions are well and he doesn’t want anything in return for a good deed. Possibly, no one believes you to be so good that you can do someone a favour without any hidden motive. Human mind has become so accustomed ટેવાયેલું to the filth ગંદકી, that anything clean evokes suspicion of being unhealthy.

The accursed House is a sharp sarcasm on the society, exposing people’s shallow understanding arising from their poor mentality, coloring their judgment, confusing their sense of good or bad. A good attempt to bring out the audaciousness હિંમત of people in a humorous, playful way with excellent command on train of thoughts. 

4.3The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe:

"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe:

The story begins with the narrator explaining that they are not insane.પાગલ 

 The narrator is obsessed ( who cannot think of anything else) with the pale blue eye of an old man with a vulture-like appearance. They claim that this eye is evil and is the reason for their madness.

Over the plan of seven nights, the narrator carefully watches the old man as they sleep, preparing to enact ઘડવો a sinister plan (અશુભ યોજના બનાવો) . They are convinced that the eye is watching them.

On the eighth night, driven to madness, the narrator enters the old man's room and kills him by smothering (covering his/her face so that he/she cannot breathe him) to death. However, the old man's eye is the only thing they truly fear.

The narrator dismembers(cut a dead body into pieces )the body and hides it under the floorboards of the old man's room. 

They believe that the house is now quiet and they have succeeded in concealing (છુપાવવું) their crime.

 Neighbors hear a scream ચીસો and call the police. The narrator invites the officers into the old man's room, feeling confident that they have gotten away with the murder.હત્યા કરીને ફરાર થઈ ગયો.

As the police question the narrator, they begin to hear a faint ચક્કર but increasingly loud and maddening heartbeat. The sound appears to be coming from under the floorboards where the old man's body is hidden.

 Overwhelmed (to be so powerful )by guilt and the relentless નિષ્ઠુર sound of the heartbeat, the narrator confesses to the murder, believing that the police can also hear the heartbeat.

The story ends with the narrator's confession, revealing their descent ઉત્પતિ into madness, as they are convinced that they can hear the dead man's heart still beating, leading to their ultimate downfall.

The story illustrates how a guilty conscience can lead to madness and ultimately self-exposure.

4.2 Salient Points of Sentence Construction

Salient (મુખ્ય) Points of Sentence Construction (બાંધકામ):- 

1. Subject and Verb Agreement: Ensure that the subject and verb in a sentence agree in number (singular or plural). Example: "She sings" (singular subject and verb) or "They sing" (plural subject and verb).

2. Complete Sentences: Every sentence should contain a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject does or is). Example: "The dog barked" (subject: The dog, predicate: barked).

3. Punctuation: Use appropriate punctuation marks to separate and structure sentences, like periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation points (!). Example: "Have you finished your homework?"

4. Capitalization: Begin sentences with capital letters and use capitalization for proper nouns. Example: "Alice went to the park."

5. Avoiding Fragments: A sentence should be a complete thought, not a fragment or incomplete idea. Example: "Running in the rain" is a fragment, but "She enjoys running in the rain" is a complete sentence.

6. Run-on Sentences: Avoid joining two independent clauses without proper punctuation or a conjunction. Example: "She wanted to go shopping she didn't have any money." (A run-on sentence)

7. Use of Commas: Use commas to separate items in a list or to set off introductory elements. Example: "Apples, oranges, and bananas are her favorite fruits."

8. Proper Noun Usage: Capitalize specific names, titles, and places. Example: "President Smith visited New York City."

9. Avoiding Dangling લટકતી and Misplaced Modifiers: Ensure that modifiers (words describing something) are correctly placed in relation to what they modify. Example: "After eating, the pizza tasted delicious" (dangling modifier). Corrected: "After eating, she thought the pizza tasted delicious."

10. Parallel Structure: Maintain parallel structure when listing items or expressing ideas in a series. Example: "She likes hiking, swimming, and to ride a bicycle" (not parallel). Corrected: "She likes hiking, swimming, and riding a bicycle" (parallel).

11. Sentence Variety: Use different sentence types (simple, compound, complex) to make writing more engaging. Example: "She studied for the exam, but she still felt anxious"બેચેન લાગ્યું (compound sentence).

12. Word Order: Arrange words in a logical order to ensure clarity. Example: "He found his lost keys" (subject-verb-object order).

13. Avoiding Double Negatives: Do not use double negatives, as they create confusion. Example: "I don't want no ice cream" (incorrect). Corrected: "I don't want any ice cream."

14. Consistency: Maintain consistency in tense, voice, and style throughout a piece of writing. Example: "She danced (past tense) while he sings (present tense)."

15. Clarity: Ensure that your sentences are clear and easily understood by avoiding ambiguous અસ્પષ્ટ language and unnecessary complexity. Example: "The reason for his absence was because he was sick" (redundant). Corrected: "He was absent because he was sick."
