All the candles burn down. Tom, who has returned from the Forest in pieces, does not sleep. He reads, but the words wash over him in waves of neat black print. He is cold, but not overpoweringly so. Every so often he feels the stirrings of a migraine, but it never amounts to anything but a faint pulse behind his eyes. He entertains the vague idea of writing in the diary--which lies beside him on the common room couch--but every time he touches it is like a wound splitting open, raw and hot and…

Leadership presents itself in funny ways. It is not always at the hand of a king that the unwavering bravery of leadership is seen. Sometimes the most powerful leaders are not leading people, but instead leading by example. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a perfect example of this. Macbeth, though brave, was not a good leader by any standards but his own. The Macbeths might not have have been the best leaders, but a man by the name of James Barry and his friends certainly were. So how do these two…

This paper investigates the issue of syntactic deviation: word order (fronting, postponement, and discontinuity) from stylistic point of view. The construction here exemplified by clauses in T.S Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land”. Biber et al (1999:900) pointed out; “fronting has to do with placing core elements which tend to appear after the verb in pre-verbal position”. The purpose of the study is to examine obligatory adjunct, optional adjunct, and direct object and object complement fronting…

It is important to analyze the poet’s own subjective relationship to his writing and the problems this presents to the reader. The dramatic relationship between two narrative voices1 – self and senses, body and spirit- which is typical of Hughes’ work, rests upon existential questions. The…

Stylistic Analysis of Allama Iqbal’s Shikwa Back ground: According to Bassnett and Gundy (1993) “Literature is a high pint of language practice; debatable it makes the best skill a language user can express. Anyone who wants to obtain a thoughtful knowledge of language that goes away from the useful will read literary texts in that language.” Usually, literature is look upon to be the privilege of definite people who are capable with certain ability and understanding literature. Literature is…

As a rule, the gill area is greater in fast-moving crabs (Portunids) than in sluggish bottom dwellers; decreases progressively from wholly aquatic, to intertidal, to land species; and is greater in young crabs than in older crabs. Often the gills are enclosed in protective chambers, and ventilation is provided by specialized appendages that create the respiratory current. As in cephalopod mollusks, oxygen utilization is relatively high—up to 70 percent of the oxygen is extracted from the water…
