    Binaries between reality and fiction through the lens of Chinua Achebe’s things fall apart and Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) Shoaib Ali
    Fiction seems good in the beginning as it is all about imagination about the things which cannot be done, in the real life and it seems fun in the beginning but things get worse when fiction starts to affect an individual’s life. Based on lies or without any certainty we start to put certain communities into the boxes where the whole community starts to suffer not just any individual. At first, no one was there to answer but in the form of resistance people started to raise their voices through their pens, and as a result, the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe was published Ali 5 which showed the world how full of culture they were, how human they were like everyone else in the world. He showed them all the good in themselves and even their flaws as well. This qualitative research deals with the problems caused to certain communities by those who wrote about them based on their certain viewpoint which was merely fiction. This research is done by using Jacques Derrida’s theory of deconstruction. It explores how English writers only portrayed the worst side of Africans so that they can justify their own cruel actions. So, through this research, I will be shedding light on the truth by comparing Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Falls Apart with the works of English writers with the help of Derrida’s concept of binaries. So that the opposite meaning of the texts can be explored by seeing the other side of the coin as well.

    Currently, if we examine the world and the overall scenario we will come to notice that all the countries are working on renewable resources and are looking for alternatives in order to generate surplus energy for future needs.

The concept of Wind Energy was taken in order to create a prototype that shows wind can generate sufficient amount of energy and together with that a complete research was carried out in order to highlight the potential areas in the country. Wind Energy is a premium source for generating energy and the complete project revolves around the generation and how it is stored?
