The moment my English Teacher said, “This is the last chapter of the English Literature Syllabus”, I was taken aback. The end, which seemed so distant just moments ago, suddenly presented itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Well,” I said to myself. “We started with Prayer to God and ended with Love of God”. I guess that’s symbolic of how God stays with you through your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, as I write the notes of the last chapter, I can only think of the Fun We Had this year and our prayers to get just a bit more time with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I guess, as Gautama Buddha said, the end is inevitable…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This piece written by TUSW on the 23rd<\/sup> day of October, 2025 touches on nostalgia and how time seems to go faster than we perceive it<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This opening sets the scene. It describes a classroom with the two characters of the story, the author (TUSW) and the English Teacher. This line shows the shock of the author when his English Teacher said that that chapter was the last chapter of the English Literature Syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This line explains why the author was shocked. The author says that the end of the English Literature syllabus (symbolic for ending of the year) seemed so far away\/still had a lot of time but the moment his English Teacher said those words the reality that the end wasn’t so far as he thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This lines shows the author’s vulnerability while also explaining a symbolism he saw in the order of lessons. This line itself ends up being symbolic of how symbolism is part of our everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This line takes us to another moment where the author is writing his classwork for the last chapter of the syllabus. He mentions that while writing he thinks about the fun they, the author and his friends, had that year (reference to NCERT 9th class Chapter 1, “The Fun They Had”) and their prayers (reference to NCERT 10th class Chapter 1, “A Letter to God”) to get just a bit more to enjoy with their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the closing line, also showing the vulnerability of the author. He also makes a reference to Gautama Buddha’s teaching (reference to NCERT 10th class Chapter 8, “The Sermon at Benares”) to lay emphasis on his point that the end is inevitable and cannot be avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The moment my English Teacher said, “This is the last chapter of the English Literature Syllabus”, I was taken aback.
