The Blurb of The Skilled Fisherman Without A Fish by Fortune Nwaiwu

THE BLURB

This screen play has been perfectly edited in a style that modern artists and actresses will find it very easy and simple to dramatise. This play is then one that really finds its root in the realm of socio-religious milieux as most of the events parallel with those found in scriptures. The parallelism in the text with that of the Christian faith captures conspicuously the religious trends in the modern episcopal calling to serve God and humanity, and that of self will for selfish interests which majorly lie on the pursuit of materialism. The story suffices the struggle of a future promising youth, Chijioke, who has his expertise in fishing and tailoring works, but is ironic that this professional fisherman goes through series of hectic activities without catching any fish. Does it mean that there's no single fish in that river or is it a matter of fate operating very revoltingly against him? Would he seek the face of a numen or someone else to find out the problem with his destiny? Such perturbing issues are perhaps some of the most challenging questions troubling the mind of a reader until Chijioke is able to discover his star. Thus, it’s when one's occupation is inlined with his destiny that optimal success is bound to manifest. We therefore recommend this screen play to everyone all over the world who would want to shine brilliantly along with their destiny. This down-to-earth play, which mirrors the debauched, and corrupted manners of some individuals would help to transform our society, and individuals who’re caught up in the web of confusion, stagnancy, lack and hopelessness.
Read to find out how Chijioke is able to overcome his challenges.

Cohesion and Coherence

Cohesion and Coherence: A Study of two texts, One with Cohesive Markers while the other lacking Cohesive Markers. A paper presented by Fortune N. (2019). Introduction This paper seeks to analyse two texts finding out a text with cohesive markers and a text lacking cohesive markers. A text in linguistics, is any spoken or written discourse that forms a unified whole, which may be a sentence, a paragraph, or a dialogue. A text is not a grammatical unit, but rather a semantic unit of language, i.e. a unit of meaning, not of form, (Bahaziq, 2016:p112). Texture is what provides the text with unity and distinguishes it from a non-text. Therefore, it is the cohesive relation that exists between units of a text.  This paper explores cohesion and coherence with their instances to enable readers glance on how words structurally and semantically hang together to create a coherent text. We have analysed an excerpt from the opening chapter of Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto to find out t...
MRS. NWAIWU JULIANA Umuezu Egbeke Etche Rivers State. June 25, 2019 To whom it may concern: I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Fortune Nwaiwu.  Fortune worked with me at Government Secondary School Okehi for six years. He began here and continued to serve with increasing skill in that capacity . During Fortune's service with us I spent considerable time with him, and he was very goal oriented. Fortune was always punctual, and was dedicated to his work and the job at hand. Fortune demonstrated from early in his tenure that he understood what teaching is all about. He was well organized. He was quite aware of the bottom line, and had a knack for recognizing and eliminating waste. I suppose doing well in teaching is easy if you are, as he was, efficient by nature. I would like to be very clear about why Fortune wants to leave his present job.  Fortune is available for new challenges only because of his desire to learn and grow further. I would have loved to s...

The Significance of Folktales, Myths, and Legends in Effort to Revive the Present Social Moral Decadence in Nigeria today

Introduction : Folktales, myths, and legends are special modes of oral literature for transmission of culture, norms and values of society. In this paper, it will be of prime importance to explain briefly their conceptual meanings, and then expound their significance in helping to revive our nation from social moral decadence. Folktales : The folktale, strictly defined, is a short narrative in prose of unknown authorship which has been transmitted orally; many of these tales eventually achieve written form. The term, however, is often extended to include stories invented by a known author—such as “The Three Bears” by Robert Southey (1774–1843) and Parson Mason L. Weems’ story of George Washington and the cherry tree —which have been picked up and repeatedly narrated by word of mouth as well as in written form. Folktales are found among peoples everywhere in the world. They include myths, fables, tales of heroes and fairy tales.  Another type of folk tale, the set “joke”—that is, th...
