This novel shows us unusually rich literary and aesthetic connotation is has by its unique narrative perspective, the ups and downs of plot, superb accurate language, various rhetorical devices and vivid character images.

The mediums to transmit ironic and satiric effects, however, can change with the course of time. The use of them in TV series evoked my interest to examine this phenomenon. Irony and Sarcasm are the stylistic features principally used in the comic TV series South Park. Although the concept and the humor of the show remains the same, the success now persists for more than a decade. For that reason, I decided to make use of excerpts of this series and to analyze the methods of how irony and satire are created. Despite the sentiment of many that South Park is nothing but a threat to young people because of its massive use of scatological language, a multitude of messages can be uncovered in this TV series. Therefore, not only the surface structure of the often-obscene content has to...

...When American schoolchildren are educated about Europe between the years 1936 through 1975, they are taught about the aftereffects of World War I and about World War II. Europe, in high school history classes, ceases to exist after 1945 and the close of World War II unless, of course, one is learning about the Cold War and the Berlin Wall may be mentioned. They do not learn, however, that World War II era Spain—because Spain was neither an ally or a foe during the war—went through enormous conflict of its own. The three-year Spanish Civil War and the fascist dictatorship that followed are largely kept out of the American history books. Yet, the world is privy to much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many...

...EXPERTS THE CASE NARRATIVE It is Monday morning (March 5th 2012) – a beautiful sunny day in Bangalore. Sangeetha Kriplani stares at the meeting minutes from last Friday’s meeting, and sighs with anxiety. All senior staff from Jobs Everyday (JE) was gathered to be addressed by the CEO Praveen Joshi who was quite upset after the annual service review. “How come we are the last to know about some openings”, “Why is it that we take too much time to process the applications”, “No wonder the better candidates don’t wait to hear back from us!”, “I want to see different ... oh yes MUCH different results by the next review – Let’s hope we still exist by then!!!” etc. were some words that have been echoing in Sangeetha’s mind throughout the whole weekend. Sangeetha is the new Manager of the Business Analysis and Improvement team at Jobs Everyday, and has 6 Business Analysts (BA) working under her, all who have been at Jobs Everyday for years.
