Q- 1. How far do you think Digression is necessary?

Ans:- 

 I Think Digression short and to the point is necessary, But  the sum of digression that is necessary depends on the purpose of your writing.If you are writing a formal essay, you will probably want to avoid digression as much as possible. 

However, if you are writing a novel, or a memoir, you may have more freedom to digress. The most important thing is to be mindful of how much you digress and to make sure that your digressions are serving a purpose. 

Digressions aren’t just a fun little game that writers play. There’s a whole lot they can bring to your writing, if you know how to write them. A digression can be beneficial to the story as a whole, or it might have a negative impact on how the reader follows the plot.

Writers use digressions in order to create thoughtful descriptions of characters. They can also give important background information, create suspense, and ensure that the reader has a connection to the characters in the story. Without the latter, they won’t care how the conflict plays out. In some forms of writing, a digression can be used to provide didactic information. 

Q- 2. Identify any one movie/web series/song/poem/novel which talks about the sensitive topic like religion. Write in brief about it and explain what kind questions are raised through that work.

Ans :- One Hindi movie that addresses the sensitive topic of religion is "PK," directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Aamir Khan. The film tells the story of an alien named PK who arrives on Earth and questions various religious beliefs and practices.

"PK" offers a satirical and thought-provoking take on religious pluralism and the impact of religious beliefs and practices on society, encouraging viewers to reflect on the complexities and idiosyncrasies of different faiths

Questions raised by "PK" include:

How do different religious beliefs and rituals shape the lives of individuals and communities, and what happens when these beliefs are challenged?

Can an outsider's perspective, like PK's, provide a unique lens through which to analyze the diversity of religious practices and the similarities that unite them?

What are the consequences of blind faith and superstitions, and how do they influence people's lives?

How does the movie address the issue of religious intolerance and the need for interfaith understanding and harmony?

To what extent is religion used as a tool for manipulation and profit, and what are the social implications of such exploitation?
