WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF KARNATAKA?
Legend has it that the history of Karnataka dates back to the happenings in the Epic, Ramayana. 
Moreover, the history of Karnataka also has a bearing to the period when people from the western countries came here in search of a market.But the ancient history of Karnataka apparently starts with the Mauryan. After the Mauryan, the history of Karnataka witnessed the rule of Savannas who ruled Karnataka for nearly 300 years. 
The Satavahanas, in their turn, were replaced by Kadambas and the Pallavas, the Tanganyika, the Chalukyas of Badami, the Rashtrakutas, the Kalacharis, the Hoysalas, the Yadavas, the Kakaiyas and so on. 
Moreover, with the rise of the Malik Kafur, the history of Karnataka saw the emergence of the Muslim rulers.
 
Yet in 1336 a Hindu kingdom was established at Vijaynagar by the Harihara (Hakka) and Bukka. This period of wealth and property and the economy of Karnataka shot up vigorously, under these rulers.
 
But all good things come to an end and so did this kingdom; it was replaced by the Bahamanis in 1337. The Bhamanis gave way to the Vijayanagar empire, which in its turn, lost to the Sultans of the Deccan at the famous battle of Talikota.

10:ELABORATION- HOW TO DEVELP YOUR FLOW OF THOUGHT:
Summary:words combine to form images, then images combine to form the sentences combined to form the core ideas and this is elaboration. The process of elaboration here..grammar is the tool we use to tie all our ideas together. Process of developing flow of thought from sentences to choosing the way we want to elaborate it, there are 2 ways of elaborating the sentences from the reason or the narrative sequences.
New things that i have learnt from this chapter:
·         What is the core idea
·         How is it elaborated
·         How is it summarized
·         How is it transferred to write core idea
Things that i already knew about, that were given in the chapter:
·         Paragraph are the collection of sentences, it is also has upper limit.
·         Both grammar and connector are connected with one goal  to transfer throught into others mind.
·         When we shift one core idea to other, we change the focus. It is arbitrary
·         Instruction is the process of teaching someone hoe to do something
·         Start with the fact that is known and combine them to gain facts were unknown when we started.
Concept that i have used in the blog post already:
                When i write about the traditional dress at first i had written the what the traditional dresses then i write the from the different state which are all the traditional dresses are weared. And how it is different from one state to another all these are specified in the my blog.
Concept this is applied to the other subject

                Instruction is the process of teaching someone how to do something. It consists of presenting a  number of steps, one after another, so that a task my be completed correctly from begging to the end. I want connect this to the my all subject because at first iam finding difficult to adjust towards the subject but later i started to adjust towards the subject so it made the understanding easy.
9.how to use clarity principle:
                This chapter showed what is wit, symbolism and suspense and how to how to build it into our writing. It also showed to use clarity principle. Only  when we make it clear our purpose of communication is met.
New things that i have learnt from this chapter:
·         Each of the picture word had only one meaning. As they are used over the century, they picked up second, third  and even more meaning
·         Once we see the source of this wit, we can start seeking out such pivot words.
·         Clarity results when we restricting
·         Meaning of symbolism.
·         Meaning of allegory
·         Planned ambiguity is nothing but suspense
·         Pivot words are the special title to multiple meaning word.
·         Whole range of reinforcing double meaning contained in single word.
Things that i already knew about, that were given in the chapter:
·         Clarity results when we restrict a pilot word to only one meaning
·         Ambiguity results when we restrict a pilot word to  more than one meaning
·         Use pf suspense ,wit, metaphors, and allegory ads style to our writing.
Concept that applied to the other subject:

                I connect this to all the subject because we should be in the same track what the lectures are trying to say if they something and we think different it is not possible we should understand in the same picture what the lecturers are trying to say we must be their in the same track. Orlese we might find it difficult to carry.
8.how to write clearly:
Summary:
                We can make our communication immediately understanding by making it simple and clear. In this chapter we added clarity technique and made sure that our images cant be misunderstood. It also says the importance of communication.  Without picture word your sentences is empty and without connecting word they are misunderstood.
New things that i have learnt from this chapter:
·         Process of building our sentences include picking out our images and then pick out the relationships we want to show between them.
·         When the relationship  in sentences  are immediately understood by our reader then our they are simple
·         A condensing connector does not make clear which picture word it refers to in the sentence in front of it.
Things that i already knew about, that were given in the chapter:
·         Goal of the grammar is communication
·         A picture word or phrase is clear when it has onle one possible meaning in the sentence in which it is used
·         The big problem with the picture word id that most of them have more than one meaning
·         Our reader must know which of the image to use when a sentence has more than one image.
·         Communication is the act of transmitting our own understanding to someone else.
Concept that i used in blog post that i already written:
                Communication is the act of transmitting our own understanding to someone else.ex. in my blog i wrote many article on different topics. It is nothing but communication. It is transforming ourself into the good things because we had learnt lot of things from the blog and it is slowly increasing our growth.
Concept applied to the other subject:
                If our points are simple and good then it will attract the listeners when we are making the presentation in simple words with attractive wat then i can grab the attention of the audience.
