Non-Detail

Have u studied Non-Detail books along with ur regular text books in ur 10th, +2? I don’t know about CBSE, but in State syllabus, usually u’ll find these books.

 

Generally these books will contain a story or two in detail, having around 100 to 150 pages.  You’ll get plenty of marks (in ur end exam) from this book when compared to your regular language text book, grammar and etc.  In my studies, I had “The Merchant of Venice” written by Shakespeare & “The Moonstone”, a story about an Indian diamond stolen by an English Man and the journey thereafter.  These books were just like novels.

 

Now the point is, y’day, I got a doubt y these books are called as Non-Detail books?  As these are having more details of a story when compared to the stories in our ordinary text books, they need to be called as “Detail” books, isn’t it? I just wonder about what was in their mind while naming these? Do they think that these details are not enough to complete the story? Then how can they expect us to answer all those questions on the story?

 

Any how, my gut feeling is that these books need to be re-named as “Detail Books”; otherwise those authors’ souls won’t rest in peace…

Ha..Ha...!
That's right they have more information than the books that are actually their in your syllabus.

But, just to let you know; the reason why they are called 'Non-Detailed' study material is this:

First of all they are not the 'Real Work' of the Author himself and second it is not an authorised study book in your syllabus by your Education Council....
So you gotta bear with them, my friend.

Hai Prawin,

I thank for your memory power for keeping all these in mind and raising questions now. do you know why these books are called Non-details? The stories in the books shall not be fully understandable in that age, which will be more understandable when you become older(i.e. when you go through the actual the conditions has mentioned in the stories), that means to under stand the story which is mentioned in the book requires additional interpretation skill. That is why these stories are took part of Non-detailed books for children, not for others... I hope that you got it, He... he... he...!
