...Examine the endings (with close attention to the last ‘scene’ and the last paragraph) of at least three 20c. short stories and consider how the author handles them and their relation to the story as a whole. The art of ending short stories has been hotly contested for centuries. As humans we naturally desire firm conclusions that tie up the story’s various loose threads and leave us with a sense of satisfaction. Many writers, in modern times, have tried to challenge this convention, preferring to leave endings open for interpretation and development of thought. This is connected with the developing idea that a short story is, in essence, a brief glimpse into a character’s life. In this sense, there is a future outside of the ending, which negates the requirement for an effective conclusion. Flannery O’Connor is an example of a modern writer who sought to challenge the conventions of a story’s ending. Her tale, ‘Everything That Rises Must Converge,’ is told from the perspective of Julian, a college graduate who is being supported by his mother while he seeks employment. The plot revolves around a ride on an integrated bus, and the crisis point comes in the form of a confrontation between Julian’s mother and a black woman wearing the same hat. Julian repeatedly conveys his wish to be rid of his mother, going so far as to dream about her being seriously ill. Despite this, his reaction upon her stroke shows exactly how dependant he is on her: ‘His voice was thin, scarcely a...

Today’s world, for secure data transmission via Internet or any public network, there is no alternative to cryptography. The role of Cryptography is most important in the field of network security. The main goal of cryptography is Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Non repudiation. Cryptography is widely used by governmental and intelligence agencies around the world to safe transmission of any format of messages online or offline. In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encryption by which units of plaintext are replaced with cipher text, according to a regular system; the "units" may be single letters, pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing an inverse substitution. Caesar cipher is an example of substitution cipher method. In this paper substitution cipher based cryptography algorithms are compared and performance is evaluated.

...The Grading Of Tea How Is Tea Graded? The grading of tea is an accepted method of classifying the tea and it relates to the quality of the tea leaves. The grading of tea facilitates the international trade in tea and is the central component in the assessing of a money value for the various types of tea This classifying of tea into grades is an important tool for the tea experts in their task of making evaluations and comparisons between the different varieties of tea that are grown and manufactured throughout the world. The accepted methods of grading tea relate to the grading of Black tea only. The two main factors which affect the grading of tea are: 1. The size of the tea leaves: Whole, large tea leaves gain a higher grading 2. The method of production of the tea: There are 2 methods of manufacturing tea.Manufacturing of tea and these are the traditional method of production of tea by hand and the more modern mechanized method which is aptly called the CTC process (Crush, Tear and Curl). It is considered that the mechanized method damages the tea leaves and as a result the tea leaves bear a lower grading. In respect of Green tea and Oolong tea, as opposed to black tea, no single accepted method of grading has been developed. For these teas there exists a whole range of grading systems and these differ from tea grower to tea grower, from tea growing region to tea growing region and so on. These tea grading methods are based on and depend on factors different from those...

...Alcohol Consumption in College Incomplete Paper Alcoholic beverages such as beer can cause problems for many people throughout life, but for college aged people alcohol can cause the worst. In college most people are being out on their own for the first time ever and having that freedom they have never had. Some problems caused by alcohol in college are, missing an assignment or class, or even death. Drinking a beer a day has been found healthy, but in college that is never the case. Not that everyone drinks or everyone drinks a lot but there is always that select group that will drink more nights out of a week than not. And when that group drinks they drink heavily in order to be drunk. Problems occur with many people who do drink very heavily because it impairs their ability to get things done for many hours including the ones when drinking and after. A student may not attend class the day after drinking because he or she may be to sick or just exhausted from the drinking the night before. After the student skips the first one it becomes easier and easier to skip classes, therefore it is more likely to happen over and over again. Also when skipping classes a student can miss anything from an important lecture to a test which can really hurt their grades. The final big issue is the number of students who die every year from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is caused by excessive amounts of alcohol in the body...

CHAPTER ± IV *SWOT Analysis *Recommendations *Suggestion 6.CONCLUSION 7.LIMITATION 8.BIBLIOGRAPHY 9.QUESTIONNAIRE [pic] [pic] [pic] CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION A soft drink is a beverage, often carbonated, that does not contain alcohol. (Carbonated soft drinks are more commonly known as soda,pop, tonic,or soda pop in parts of the United States and Canada, or fizzy drinks in the U.K.; sometimes called minerals in Ireland) The name "soft drink" specifies a lack of alcohol by the way of contrast to the term "hard drink". The term "drink", while nominally neutral, often carries connotations of alcoholic content. Beverages like colas, sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate,hot tea, coffe, milk,tap water, alcohol, and milkshakes do not fall into this classification. Many carbonated soft drinks are optionally available in versions sweetened with sugars or with non- caloric sweeteners SCOPE OF PROJECT 1. Detailed study of the non carbonated soft drinks industry in India 2. Analysis of Frooti’s performance against the other prevailing noncarbonated soft drinks brands in the country. 3.

...ANALYSIS “Before the Birth of Her Children,” by Anne Bradstreet tells of mothers’ maternal fears that are accompanied by love. Bradstreet makes her writing personable for the reader by reminding them of their mother’s love to show that a mother’s love is like no other. Though the poem embodies a mother’s love for her child, mothers’ fears reveal a dark side that takes away the comforting feeling of love and places attention on death. By using words like “irrevocable”, Bradstreet emphasizes the inevitability of death to her child, while giving the audience a sense of just how grave a mother’s fears are, as they are even thinking of how the child will cope with death. The mother-child relationship can be viewed as a symbol of its own; one that represents a one-of-a-kind love, yet also many worries. The poem characterizes mothers as valuable individuals that place their trust and legacy in the hands of their children, hoping they will prosper. In “My Dear and Loving Husband,” Anne Bradstreet displays her love for her husband. Considering the time period, in which women did not have the rights they do in contemporary society, to be able to say “If ever man were loved by wife, then thee,” and that her husband’s love cannot be repaid, comes to show that the contemporary perception love has existed before. Bradstreet characterized her husband as a caring man, whom unlike convention, does not appear to flaunt his superiority and degrade his wife. Her husband’s characterization reaffirms...

...VICTOR ADEJAYAN | ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP PAPER | DR. WALTER W. DINGMAN | | BUS 508 | 2012 | A short analysis of the entrepreneurial approaches of Samuel Walton and Christopher Zorich | Profit oriented entrepreneurial approaches of Samuel Moore Walton. Sam Walton, the man Samuel Moore Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was archetypal leader with some level of consistencies in his lifetime that stayed with him until his death. Sam was a servant-leader who listened quietly to the customers and sought to please them. He believed in hard work, worked hard and had fun doing it. His leadership style If ever there was a true born leader, Samuel Walton was one. Sam, as he was popularly called, was born the first child of his parents, Thomas and Nancy Walton on March 29, 1918. By virtue of his birth, he took some amount of responsibility for his only sibling, J.L. "Bud" Walton. Maybe, this helped him in developing very strong leadership skills early in life. Sam attended Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri where he served as class president. He played football in the school’s team which had no defeats as long as Sam was the quarterback. Sam attended the University of Missouri at Columbia where he got a degree in business and he was about to commence graduate studies in insurance when he decided for engagement in retail business. I personally believe that Sam deduced from his exposure to business studies that he had some of the qualities that success in...

...HOW TO ANALYZE A POEM 1. TO BEGIN Read the poem all the way through at least twice. Read it aloud. Listen to it. Poetry is related to music, so the sound is important. You listen to your favourite CDs many times; the principle is the same. It takes time to fully appreciate and understand a work of art. Make a note of your first impressions or immediate responses, both positive and negative. You may change your mind about the poem later, but these first ideas are worth recording. 2. LITERAL MEANING AND THEME Before you can understand the poem as a whole, you have to start with an understanding of the individual words. Get a good dictionary. Look up, and write down, the meanings of: • • • words you don’t know words you “sort of know” any important words, even if you do know them. Maybe they have more than one meaning (ex. “bar”), or maybe they can function as different parts of speech (ex. “bar” can be a noun or a verb). If the poem was written a long time ago, maybe the history of the word matters, or maybe the meaning of the word has changed over the years (“jet” did not mean an airplane in the 16th century). An etymological dictionary like the Oxford English Dictionary can help you find out more about the history of a particular word. Use an encyclopaedia or the Internet to look up people and places mentioned in the poem. These allusions may be a key to the poet’s attitudes and ideas. As you pay attention to the literal meanings of the words of the poem, you may see some patterns...
