The document discusses child labor, describing it as a shameful practice still followed in many parts of the world. In India, despite laws meant to protect children, many still work long hours in difficult conditions, such as agricultural fields, mines, and fireworks factories. The government has tried to prevent exploitation by making education free and compulsory up to age 14 and providing mid-day meals in schools. However, the problem of child labor continues.

Saw my little sister, with wide open eyes Holding tight against the door frame Yes, peeping with an eye while hiding the other, Aiming at those torrent drops to behold…… Turning around, sees me, my little sister, With a veil of shy and love hidden, Sprints towards me holding my hands in haste, Dragging me out, wanting to embrace those drops of cool shower……. Holding her close I got into the rain Feeling myself aloft and drenched, Lost in her deluge of innocent love, Shattered all my fetters of solitude and sadness……….. There heard a tumultuous thunder, Waking from my world of dreams, Only to know……..sun still bright out there For a warm drop escaped my eyes…..drenching me again Only for my sister………..who loved the rain…..

- 15. New B.Ed. College Nellimoodu English Option CHILD LABOUR The practice of employing young children, a shameful blot n civilized human society is still being followed in many parts of the world. In our country, for example, I spite of the framing of laws meant to protect the rights of children working for long hours under the blazing sun in agricultural fields, in dark and airless mines and in the midst of explosive fireworks. The government has indeed tried hard to prevent the exploitation of children by making education free and compulsory up to the age of fourteen and by introducing the mid-day meal program in school all over the country. But children continue to be made to work mainly because of the poverty and illiteracy of their parents and the low wages that they need to be paid. A permanent solution to the problem can be found only by getting more people involved in the fight against child labour, by making the laws more effective and by educating parents about the rights of their children.

- 18. New B.Ed. College Nellimoodu English Option Friends, Who has given us life? No human being, I think. So I believe no man can take away the life of another even if he has done something very cruel. All criminals should be punished. Punishments are intended to change the character of the criminal. Then if the capital punishment or death penalty is given, we can change him to a good human being. Some argue that assuming death penalty is a lesson to all criminals. If it is stopped the number of crimes will increase. But we know that even capital punishment is in progress there is no decrease in the number of crimes.

Knowledge is a blessing only when it is exact and thorough. Partial knowledge does more harm than good. It leads to confused thinking. It gives one a wrong idea of things. It may even make a person arrogant or vainglorious. In this sense, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Whatever subject one studies, one must aim at complete knowledge in it. Similarly, one must aim at a full understanding of life and the world. Great men are those who have achieved this aim in life. Plato and Aristotle, Tolstoy and Gandhi were men of perfect knowledge. True knowledge can be achieved only through sincere effort. True knowledge brings power, but a little knowledge brings danger. Devi G. Priya 21Luminous Luminous 2014

The most memorable book among the people is Davinjee code'. Most of the people buy books. If they buy book then they choose only good quality books. It's because they want good content oriented and good message oriented books. Most of the books provide a good amount of knowledge to the people. According to the modern trend they choose only knowledge providing books. It is a welcoming attitude of the people. WE must try to generate a new trend among the new generation for the world of books. We must encourage them reading new types of books. Some of had the habbit of taking notes what they read. That is a good thing. Teachers must try to bring the children in the world of books.A vigourous kind of reading leads the pupils to a new thinking.

- 31. New B.Ed. College Nellimoodu English Option Pompey was a town which was build during 6th Century B.C. It was situated at the valley of Vesueus Volcano towards the South East of Italy. During A.D 79 this Volcano erupted and Pompey was destroyed completely. After 17 centuries archeologists conducted excavations there. Between the rains they found the skeleton of a Roman warrior in his duty dress. According to researchers this warrior must be in his duty, at the corridor of the town, during the volcanic eruption. According to Romans the guards are not allowed to move from the corridor unless another one comes and take the charge or the superior one commands so. At the time of volcanic eruption all the inhabitants flooded away from there with their lives. But he remained there without any movement. Because unless another one comes on the superior orders he was not allowed to move from there. Refusing to quit from his duty and refusing to alter his Oath, he remained still facing the burning lava and embodied himself in it. Sometimes we might not be able to accept his act and might consider him a fool. But his sincerity and his dedication in performing his duty must be appreciated. He was ready to fulfill his responsibility at the cost of his life can be abstain ourselves from praising him? We too have so many responsibilities in our life. We also know that we should be sincere in performing our duties. But generally we try to slip away from our responsibilities. It possible we also try to put these responsibilities to others. It might not be easy to fulfill our duties and responsibilities. We might have to face many obstacles in our path. How much difficulties we face, that much power we should earn. If we could do so, then we will be successful in our lives. May the warrior of Pompey be a source of inspiration for us in performing our duties and responsibilities more sincerely.

Friendship is a path of un relating compassion. It is a view of life that encompasses not just your life but the life of the other. It is a special bond that is created out of genuine affection and is gives freely to those who have shown their truth. It gives without the thought of reward but with the essence of the heart which longs for this special connection.

Friends will challenge as to attain our original limits with encouragement when we allow ourselves not to go beyond our reasonable boundaries. Friends will motivate us when we are ready to give in and they can provide for us when life falls a pact.

When you play, a friend is the first person to cheer you when you do a record, Friend will be the first to treat us without any jealous mind. Friends consider the record of yours as theirs and they feel happy by telling about the record to others. In life we share most of the time with our friends.
