    REPRESENTATION OF FANTASY IN SALMAN RUSHDIE'S LUKA AND THE FIRE OF LIFE
    (Journal of Research & Development, 2022-07) Ponnulexmi, V; Ambika, S
    Rushdie employs many rare and innovative techniques like fantasy, magical realism, time and space in terms of narrative and language. In general, it is observed that a novelist uses alternative characters to speak or act for themselves and by intrusively telling how they do these things. The novelist believes that the art of fiction does not begin until the novelist thinks of his story as a matter to be shown, to be so exhibited that it will tell itself. In Luka and the Fire of Life Rushdie adopts a number of supernatural elements. Magic is no longer quixotic madness. Realism functions as an objective, universal representation of natural and social realities. It functions ideologically, but less hegemonic ally of its program and is not centralizing but eccentric.

    A STUDY ON THE EFFICACY OF ILLUSTRATED TALES IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE TO CHILDREN
    (ProQuest, 2023) Kaviya, Kathiresan; Narasingaram, Jayashree
    Children of today are scarcely aware of climate change, while already growing up facing the effects of it. As citizens and future policy makers, it becomes essential for children to be informed of the threat and procedures to mitigate it. However, studies show that most children are not introduced to climate change in their primary years, be it at home or school. One of the many modes available to effectively and non-violently teach climate change is through illustrated tales, which has an ideal blend of illustrations and text. This study explores the potency of these tales through a case study done among twenty children aged between three and fourteen.
