उत्तर
Film - Enola Holmes
Cast - Milli Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Louis Partridge, Helena Bonham Carter
Director - Harry Bradbeer
"Enola Holmes" is based on Nancy Springer's "The Enola Holmes Mysteries." It's a work of fiction featuring a variety of topics, including mystery, adventure, a dash of feminism, and a whole lot of fun. The storey takes place in nineteenth-century England, where women were expected to conform to social norms. Women wore corsets, bonnets, top hats, bustles, and petticoats, just as they did in the nineteenth century, and men wore frock coats and straight trouses.
Following the success of hit, television shows such as "Fleabag" and "Killing Eve," director Harry Bradbeer presents us "Enola Holmes," an action-adventure film. During the epidemic, it was the most-watched film on the internet, and in 2020, it was the seventh-most-searched film on Google worldwide.
The protagonist's name is the same as the title of the film. Millie Bobby Brown is the actress who plays her. Her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft Holmes (Sam Claflin) are major figures in her life, as are Lord Tewksbury (Louis Partridge), a worthless but amiable man, and her mother Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter).
Enola is the youngest of the famed Holmes family's sibilings. She is incredibly brilliant, perceptive, and intuitive, confounding social expectations for women at the period. She wakes up on her 16th birthday to find her mother has vanished, and she is placed in the care of her famous detective brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft, who have sent her to a school for "decent" young girls. She finally makes it to London and finds her mother. Her voyage, however, leads her into a mystery involving a young runaway Viscount Tewkebury. Enola becomes a super sleuth in her own right as the film goes, and she saves the lord from scheming. She finds her mother and the reason for her absence when she returns to her lodgings. Enola has finally found her independence and her calling.
To summarise, it is a highly recommended film for people of all ages because it is entertaining.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Lying in bed, Swami realized with a shudder that it was Monday morning. It looked as though only a moment ago, it had been the last period on Friday; already, Monday was here. He hoped that an earthquake would reduce the school building to dust but that my good building, Albert Mission School, had withstood similar prayers for over a hundred years now.
At nine o'clock, Swaminathan wailed, “I have a headache.”
His mother said, “Why don’t you go to school in a bullock cart?”
“So that I may be completely dead at the other end? Have you any idea what it means to be jolted in a cart?”
“Have you any important lessons today?”
“Important! Bah! That geography teacher has been teaching the same lesson for over a year now. And we have arithmetic, which means for a whole period we are going to be beaten by the teacher............ Important lessons!”
And Mother generously suggested that Swami might stay at home.
At 9:30, when he ought to have been lining up in the school prayer hall, Swami was lying on the bench in Mother’s room.
Father asked him, “Have you no school today?”
“Headache,” Swami replied,
“Nonsense! Dress up and go.”
“Headache.”
“Loaf about less on Sundays, and you will be without a headache on Monday.”
Swami knew how stubborn his father could be and changed his tactics.
“I can’t go so late to class.”
“I agree, but you’ll have to; it is your own fault. You should have asked me before deciding to stay away.”
“What will the teacher think if I go so late?”
“Tell him you had a headache, and so are late.”
“He will beat me if I say so.”
“Will he? Let us see. What is his name?”
“Mr. Samuel.”
“Does he beat the boys?”
“He is very violent, especially with boys who come late. Some days ago, a boy was made to stay on his knees for a whole period in a corner of the class because he came late, and after getting six cuts from the cane and having his ears twisted, I wouldn’t like to go late to Mr Samuel’s class.”
“If he is so violent, why not tell your headmaster about it?”
“They say that even the headmaster is afraid of him. He is such a violent man.”
And then Swami gave a lurid account of Samuel’s violence; how when he started caning, he would not stop till he saw blood on the boy’s hand, which he made the boy press to his forehead like a Vermillion marking. Swami hoped his father would be made to see that he couldn’t go to his class late. But his father’s behaviour took an unexpected turn. He became excited.
“What do these people mean by beating our children? They must be driven out of service. I will see…..”
The result was that he proposed to send Swami late to his class as a kind of challenge. He was also going to send a letter with Swami to the headmaster. No amount of protest from Swami was of any avail: Swami had to go to school.
By the time he was ready, his father had composed a long letter to the headmaster, put it in an envelope, and sealed it.
“What have you written, father?” Swaminathan asked apprehensively.
“Nothing for you. Give it to your headmaster and go to your class.”
Swami’s father did not know the truth—that, actually, Mr. Samuel was a very kind gentleman.

It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others. In truth, the prospect of rewards provided by others can inhibit and limit people’s drive and creativity. People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.
What do you think motivates people to do their best? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
