1.Hum-Roald Dahl's Nonsense Poetry-Snigdha Nagar
IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN(P): 2347-4564; ISSN(E): 2321-8878 Vol. 4, Issue 4, Apr 2016, 1-8 © Impact Journals ROALD DAHL’ S NONSENSE POETRY: A METHOD IN MADNESS SNIGDHA NAGAR Research Scholar, EFL University, Tarnaka, Hyderabad, India ABSTRACT Following on the footsteps of writers like Louis Carroll, Edward Lear, and Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl’s nonsensical verses create a realm of semiotic confusion which negates formal diction and meaning. This temporary reshuffling of reality actually affirms that which it negates. In other words, as long as it is transitory the ‘nonsense’ serves to establish more firmly the authority of the ‘sense.’ My paper attempts to locate Roald Dahl’s verse in the field of literary nonsense in as much as it avows that which it appears to parody. Set at the brink of modernism these poems are a playful inditement of Victorian conventionality. The three collections of verses Rhyme Stew, Dirty Beasts, and Revolving Rhyme subvert social paradigms through their treatment of censorship and female sexuality. Meant primarily for children, these verses raise a series of uncomfortable questions by alienating the readers with what was once familiar territory. KEYWORDS : Roald Dahl’s Poetry, Subversion, Alienation, Meaning, Nonsense INTRODUCTION The epistemological uncertainty that manifested itself during the Victorian mechanization reached its zenith after the two world wars. “Even signs must burn.” says Jean Baudrillard in For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign (1981).The metaphor of chaos was literalized in works of fantasy and humor in all genres.

Six Spectacular Sessions Schools Can Choose from a Morning Or an Afternoon Session; Each Session Lasts 90 Minutes
Six Spectacular Sessions Schools can choose from a morning or an afternoon session; each session lasts 90 minutes. Sessions take place at 10.00am to 11.30am or 12.30pm to 2.00pm. We offer a choice of six sessions designed to fit in with the Primary Framework for literacy and the Secondary National Strategy. All sessions include an introductory talk about Roald Dahl and his writing hut, followed by time in the Museum to explore the galleries. The sessions are rounded off with a workshop. Details of the workshops are listed below together with the suggested age range. Wordplay by Dahl’s Chickens (or is it Charles Dickens?) Pupils will look at the ways Roald Dahl played with rhyme and humour and created his own Gobblefunk language. They will make up their own nonsensical vocabulary using examples from Roald Dahl's works as inspiration. Suitable for Years 3 to 6 (children aged 7 to 11) Crocky-Wock's Creative Characters Pupils will discover where Roald Dahl found inspiration for his wonderful characters. Just like Roald Dahl, they will use pictures of people as a starting point to create and bring to life their own bogtrotting baddy or gloriumptious goody. Suitable for Years 3 to 6 (children aged 7 to 11) Revolting Rhymes Pupils will look at the way Roald Dahl used rhymes in his poems and how he gave fairy tales a surprising twist. After some interactive storytelling, pupils will experiment with rhyming words to create other unexpected endings to traditional fairy stories. Suitable for Years 3 to 6 (aged 7 to 11) Matilda’s Top Tips Pupils will find out how Roald Dahl got his good ideas for stories.

Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous. However, Now and then, to break this rule, One meets a pig who is a fool. What, for example, would you say, If strolling through the woods one day, Right there in front of you you saw A pig who'd built his house of STRAW? The Wolf who saw it licked his lips, And said, 'That pig has had his chips.' 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in!' 'No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!' 'Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!' The little pig began to pray, But Wolfie blew his house away. He shouted, 'Bacon, pork and ham! Oh, what a lucky Wolf I am!' And though he ate the pig quite fast, He carefully kept the tail till last. Wolf wandered on, a trifle bloated. Surprise, surprise, for soon he noted Another little house for pigs, And this one had been built of TWIGS! 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in!' 'No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!' 'Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!' The Wolf said, 'Okay, here we go!' He then began to blow and blow.
