Her arrival to the new place triggers her to attempt for bettering the Gopher Prairie by persuading the villagers. But the public are much prejudiced and male-centric. Men have always plotted against her and her visions which are drastic. This customary population cannot tolerate the sight of the course she has directed and this is what the reason her goal remains suspended. She consequently loses hopes and ultimately realizes that men are accountable for her crush. Hence she is much serious and probing. She can winnow between rice and pieces of stone. She sees through the male mentality which is preoccupied with the quandary that women are inferior and incompetent of launching drastic changes in the society.Carol is much world-shattering in the sense that she is devoted to keep on combating for betterment and prosperity for the town Gopher Prairie. Even her husband thinks that she is poignant and does not have cogent power. Therefore he soothes her and tries to mollify her repulsive state. She lives an captivated life, and seems as cool and simple as an apple.Item Childhood Reminiscences in William Wordsworth's and Dylan Thomas's Poetry: A comparative Study(Department of English, 2007) Aryal, GajendraThis dissertation makes clear the attitude of William Wordsworth and Dylan Thomas in the treatment of their childhood focusing on some of the poems of both poets. The main objective of this study is to show how Wordsworth and Thomas look back at their childhood in their poetry. Beautiful and familiar landscapes, incidents and experiences become the object around which their nostalgic feelings evolve. Wordsworth and Thomas idealize their past experiences in their poems through literary reminiscences. The charming and glorious days of childhood are recalled and contrasted with darker and sinister world of the adult. But attitude in the treatment of childhood is different in those two poets. Wordsworth is not so much pessimistic because he has not yet been disillusioned so he reconciles the loss of childhood splendor with philosophical vision but Dylan Thomas does not see any possibility of compensating childhood vision in adult life. His main focus is not on the pain of knowledge but on the bliss of innocence.Item Livelihood Problem of the Domestic Child Workers: A Case of Pokhara Metropolitan City(Faculty of Sociology, 2021) Lamsal, Keshab RajThis is a study on Livelihood Problem of the Domestic Child Workers: A Case of Pokhara Metropolitan City.The study aimed to find out the cause and problems of child labors in Pokhara Metropolitan city of Kaski district.It also examined the causes and problems of domestic child labor.
