Homophone

Word of the day

Homophone (n) - One of two or more words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.

 

The Greek root homo in homophone means “same,” and the root phon means “sound,” as in phonics or telephone. Thus, homophones are “same-sounding” words.

Can you write down three pairs of homophones in English? 

blue/blew, here/hear, flower/flour, sea/see, bear/bare, brake/break, sell/cell, there/their/they're, to/too/two

Explain this analogy in your own words.

2. What does Balram get to know about his future?

3. Discuss Pinky Madam’s escape and Ashok’s reaction.

4. How do Ashok and Kusum fuel Balram’s desire for change in this chapter?

The Fifth Night 

"Why did I feel that I had to go close to his feet, touch them and press them and make them feel good - Why? 

Because the desire to be a servant had been bred into me: hammered into my skull, nail after nail, and poured into my blood, the way sewage and industrial poison are poured into Mother Ganga" pg 193

Paan

A preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut.

Chewing smokeless tobacco, such as paan or gutkha, is popular with many people from south Asian communities, but all forms of tobacco can harm your health.

Research has shown that using smokeless tobacco raises the risk of mouth cancer and oesophageal (food pipe) cancer.

Studies have also found that betel itself can raise the risk of cancer, so chewing betel quid without tobacco is still harmful.

The Fourth Morning 

Take Cornell notes in your exercise book. 

Watch Hasan Minhaj’s video, in the next slide, on the 2019 Indian elections. Does the video confirm Adiga’s portrayal of Indian politics? If so, how? Give examples given in the video. 

Rigged elections and voter fraud are commonly believed to be merely a problem in so-called banana republics or autocratic countries.

"riding through Bangalore, me and this fellow ad four chandeliers, on a limousine powered by bulls!" 

"A man in hiding, and yet he's surrounded by chandeliers!"
