international commitments on education. In this regard national education
policies are the visions which suggest strategies to increase literacy rate,
capacity building, and enhance facilities in the schools and educational
institutes. MDGs and EFA programmes are global commitments of Pakistan
for the promotion of literacy. A review of the education system of Pakistan
suggests that there has been little change in Pakistan’s schools since 2010,
when the 18th Amendment enshrined education as a fundamental human
right in the constitution. Problems of access, quality, infrastructure and
inequality of opportunity, remain endemic.

The goal of MDGs that is not possible in Pakistan is to achieve Universal
Primary Education (UPE) and by 2025, children everywhere, boys and girls
alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. By the
year 2024 the enrolment statistics show an increase in the enrolment of
students of the age of 3-16 year while dropout rate decreased. But the need
for increasing enrolment of students remains high to achieve MDGs target.
Punjab is leading province wise in net primary enrolment rate with 62%
enrolment. The enrolment rate in Sindh province is 60%, in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) 50% and primary enrolment rate in Balochistan is 40%.

The goal of MDGs that is not possible in Pakistan is Promoting Gender
Equality and Women Empowerment. It is aimed at eliminating gender
disparity in primary and secondary education by 2020 and in all levels of
education not later than 2025. There is a stark disparity between male and
female literacy rates. The national literacy rate of male was 71% while that
of female was 48% in 2013-24. Provinces reported the same gender
disparity. Punjab literacy rate in male was 71% and for females it was 54%.
In Sindh literacy rate in male was 72% and female 47%, in KPK male 70%
and females 35%, while in Balochistan male 62% and female 23%.

student.
Ali: Sir, actually I went to Lahore with my cousin. We had already planned
a picnic party.
Teacher: Strange. You enjoy a picnic at the cost of your education. This is
not the value you give to your education.
Ali: Sir, what difference did it make to miss a read?

Q.4 Why do we use passive voice construction in language? Elaborate
your answer with suitable examples.
Because we don’t emphasize the person responsible for the action, the action
itself becomes more important in the reader’s mind. In fact, often when
using the passive voice, we leave out the subject altogether. When we don’t
know who performed the action, we tend to use the passive voice because it
allows us to omit the subject. This comes in handy when we don’t want to
reveal, just yet, who the guilty party is. It creates anonymity and also a sense
of mystery. Because the passive voice creates a sense of emotional distance
between the reader and the narrative, the reader can become more objective

0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739
about what he or she is reading. This is one of the main reasons why
scientific reports are often written in the passive voice. While the journalism
writing coaches encourage active writing, especially in broadcast, there are
often legal reasons that underpin the choice of passive voice. For
example: The water was polluted by a nearby mining operation. In Pakistan,
the passive form of this statement is legally safer. A court hasn’t yet proven,
or the mining company hasn’t yet claimed responsibility, that a specific
mining company is culpable for the pollution in this body of water. The X
mining operation polluted the nearby water. If the active voice sounds more

perceive this formality as more professional and more authoritative. It
sounds like the author knows what he or she is talking about.

younger brother. All of a sudden, I was awakened by the noise of footsteps
outside. It appeared as if the people were running in the street. I got up and
peeped down from the window. I came to know that the house of my friend
Roshan was ablaze. I at once hurried to the spot.
The house was completely enveloped in flames. A strong wind formed the
fire. The flames leaped to the sky giving out the clouds of smoke. The owner
of the house was beating his breast, crying “ I am undone!, I have lost all!”
the articles were lying scattered in the street. There were endless hurry and
excitement. Many were busy in bringing buckets of water while others

poured it on the fire. I, too, joined them, we tried our best to put out the fire,
but all our efforts were in vain.
The fire brigade was rung up. In no time it was there. A crew of active men
in brass helmets got to work and the fire was brought under control in half
an hour. God be thanked, the neighboring houses were saved.
It is said that it was all due to the carelessness of the servant who was a
heavy smoker. While smoking his pipe, he dozed off to sleep. The burning
ashes from the pipe fell down and set fire to the bed. Soon the fire spread in
the whole building.

The loss was estimated at more than five lakhs. Everyone had sympathy for
the affected family. They were shifted to a nearby house and an emergency
meeting of all the elders of the colony was called. It was decided that the
house will be repaired as a joint venture by people.
God save everybody from such a calamity but we have to be very vigilant to
keep away from such an event and when we face one face it boldly as life is
another name of a struggle.

Literature enables us to connect with the reality in our day to day lives. It
informs us about the past, and also assists come into terms with the modern
times. It is possible to understand the different aspects of life with the study
of literature hence adding value in our lives. I will analyze three journals and
their relations with real life situations.
‘The snows of Kilimanjaro’ is a short story about a writer, Harry and his
rich wife Helen who go hunting in Africa and their truck falls apart.
Unfortunately, his leg is pricked by a thorn and his leg starts decaying from
gangrene which eventually leads to his death. Before he dies, he complains a

wife reading out a book to him, he prefers quarrelling. “I can't listen to it,"
he said." Talking is the easiest. We quarrel and that makes the time pass." To
add to this, he is also very rude to his wife. He calls her a bitch when she
tells him he is sweet to her. “You bitch," he said. "You rich bitch.” He is
also portrayed as sarcastic. When he says his leg is painless and his wife
asks ‘is it really?’ he gives a sarcastic answer, “Absolutely. I'm awfully sorry
about the odor though. That must bother you.” Similarly, the minute his wife
insists there is something she can do, he tells her “You can take the leg off
and that might stop it, though I doubt it. Or you can shoot me. You're a good

Naturalism is simply the description of realism in the literature being
analyzed. This is clearly brought out in the play Streetcar named desire in
several instances and has been achieved by blending what happens in real
life to the occurrences in the play. The use of generating sciences in the story
has displayed naturalism too. To start with, Stella’s house is defined to be in
a humble neighborhood of New Orleans. Noise from the street could be
heard plus music from a far. Blanche comes in dressed in white and starts

defined as an animal. He is strong, rough and harsh. He not only smacks his
wife but is also mean to Blanche. After his wife goes to hospital, he comes
home and finds Blanche alone only to rape her. This clearly shows the
nature of human beings of taking advantage of others’ feebleness and their
ability to hurt others. Stanley and Stella’s relationship are more of a physical
one and that’s why Stella keeps going back to her husband even after
striking her when she is expectant. She also does not believe her husband
Stanley could rape her sister. Blanche going mad is also another case of
naturalism since it shows her vulnerability. Her use of language also
displays she is a teacher.

Modernism in ‘The Great Gatsby’ is displayed in several cases. A lot of
partying is done where Gatsby throws a lot of parties in a bid to win Daisy
back. Too much alcohol is also taken in this story to a point the narrator fails
to remember some parts of the story because he is too drunk. Gatsby is also
said to have a lot of wealth whose source is unidentified. Women and
relationships are also a clear indication of modernism in this story. Gatsby
would have wanted to be with his love Daisy but he gets she is married. He
goes ahead to look for her and they get in a relationship yet Daisy is married.
The protagonist in Fitzgerald’s story is Jay Gatsby. He is from a humble
background and falls in love with Daisy Fay who gets married while he is

away. A conflict approaches when he comes back and rekindles their
relationship. Tom, Daisy’s husband confronts Gatsby about it and his
unidentified source of wealth. He is eventually killed by Wilson who was
given wrong information by Tom that Gatsby killed his wife. This enables
Tom to run away with Daisy. Gatsby is not able to overcome the conflict and
becomes a victim. He is sympathetic since he covers up for Daisy for a
murder he didn’t commit. Though he shouldn’t have gone out with a married
woman, I don’t think he deserved to be killed.
