Passing information through pieces of papers: In this myth, there is information on the paper that said that if you want to be well or want something in future then we have to copy this paper 100 times and give the paper to other 100 people within 5 days or 10 days.

They put Shidur, Paddy and Oil right side of the Pidri. If they do this and the Pidri fall into the yard wrong side up then they believe that rain will be stop soon. If the Pidri fall right side up then it’s not good. Mainly village people, who live in coastal area, believe this myth.

What are the denotative and connotative meaning of ULAB logo?

First of all I want to say that what the meaning of denotative and connotative is.

Denotative - having the power of clearly denoting or designating or naming.**

Connotative - Tending to bring a memory, mood or image, for example, delicately or indirectly to mind.**


If I look at the ULAB logo through denotative mind; I can see a logo with the combination of yellow, blue and white colors. It has a pen at the middle of the logo. There is also a Bangle and English letters which present the name of ULAB.

But if I look at the ULAB logo through connotative mind; first of all it will help me to understand that it is an institution of education because of the pen at logo. It also helps me to understand that it’s a logo of ULAB; it’s a private university of Bangladesh. Whenever I see it I will feel in my mind that the university is here or there is some thing related with ULAB.

Over all the logo represents the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh through denotative and connotative mood.

What do I want to get out of this class?

This class is very enjoyable to me. The course teacher doesn’t allow any type of plagiarism in her class. So, that’s why in this class, we have to make our own critic and analysis. I am trying to get the skills of understanding and critic media texts. It will also help me to think independently.

I want not only a friendly class room, but also an informative, educative and affective class room.

Analysis and criticism are two important parts for modern mass media. A student of a media department must know how to analysis and how to be critic of a texts.

In this class I want to know the access, process, retrieval and dissemination of media texts. Hopefully I will be able to do this.

What do I think this class is about?

MSJ 211(Reading Media Texts) is one of the CCC courses of my subject. This class is mostly about a variety of critical approaches to the analysis of media texts. Texts could be within both print & electronic media.

From the course syllabus I find out that it will help me to read texts critically. Through this course I think I will be able understand or read media texts easily.

This course is all about media, so that I can use it to understand media content, filter it for my better life and relate with my professional life.

I am a student of media studies, so I will work in media field. And after doing this course it will help me to build up a strong career as a media person.
