El Salvador is undergoing a water crisis, which is impacting the country’s life expectancy. Out of the countries located in Central America, El Salvador ranks to be one of the poorest countries, which could also be a contributing factor in the life expectancy.

Analysis and interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s short story “Lispeth” The short story “Lispeth” is about the Indian Hill-girl Lispeth, who, ever since her parents died of cholera, is a half-servant, half-companion for two Englishmen; a priest and his wife.
