A. Personal Statement
I am a literary mind with great zeal for advancing the cause of creativity and imagination in all spheres of life through an effective analysis of not only the literary text, but also societies of various ideological and ontological manifestations. Besides that, I am also very keen about developing the society through a critical application of literary theories and philosophical perspectives aided by the exegesis of the literary work; this is pursuant to explaining very punctiliously the omnibus concerns that inhere in creating life through the creative process. Ultimately, my critical consciousness is to empower the society to be more humanistic than it is bearing in mind the necessities of mental growth and advancement through a scientific exploration of the literary world.
