Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" explores how marriage can limit one's freedom, especially for women in the 19th century. When Mrs. Mallard learns of her husband's death, she initially feels joyful and free from her marriage. However, when she discovers he is still alive, the shock proves fatal for her weak heart. Through symbols of Mrs. Mallard's heart condition and an open window, as well as her independent nature and disappointment at her husband's return, the story shows how much she valued her freedom and independence outside of her marriage. The theme of marriage restricting one's liberty is conveyed through irony and the characters' differing perspectives on Mrs. Mallard's emotional state.Porphyrias Lover

Arthur Miller's 1949 play Death of a Salesman explores the life of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman living in Brooklyn in the 1940s.

Willy is struggling financially and emotionally as capitalism has changed and the American Dream of success through personality has proven unrealistic. Willy's failure to provide for his family and his mental deterioration call into question whether the failure lies with Willy himself or with society's unreasonable standards and values.

Here is an analysis of two dramatic devices in An Inspector Calls and their intended effects on the audience:
The use of dramatic irony is highly effective when the Inspector reveals that Eva Smith is in fact the same girl each character had encountered. The audience knows from the start that the girl's full name is Eva Smith, but the characters do not. When the Inspector connects each of their stories to the same girl, the other characters and the audience experience a shocking revelation. This builds dramatic tension as the audience waits with dread for each character's secrets to be uncovered.
Priestley also uses interruptions strategically to assert the Inspector's authority and disrupt the characters' sense of control. For example, when Mr. Birling is dismissing theYou were perfectly fine

Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

You were perfectly fine
- 1. You were perfectly fine Dorothy Parker
- 2. About the author Dorothy parker (1893- 1967) was born in New Jersey. She was a prolific author, started her career at the age of 23 working for Vogue. She is remembered for her cynical, urbane humour and sharp observations of human behaviour.
- 3. About the story The story is set in 1929 in middle of the prohibition and shows the side effects of a night of heavy drinking and the consequences it can lead to. A man named Peter drank too much the previous night, gets up with a hangover and cant remember anything.
- 4. Events Peter wakes up and finds a girl sitting on the couch and asks her about the previous night. She tells him he made a lot of silly things but, anyway, he was perfectly fine She reminds him what nice things he said to her on the taxi ride they went and he wants to kill himself.
- 5. Characters Peter: Is a pale young man who wakes up feeling ill because he drank too much the previous night and he cant remember anything about what he did. The girl: Her name is not mentioned in the story. She is sitting on the couch and doesnt seem to have drunk in excess the previous night. Secondary characters: Jim Pierson, Elinor, the maitre dhotel, the waiter and an old man. They were all at the party but are not much important in the story.
- 6. Themes Male/ female relationships in New York society in the 1920s: At this time, women in the USA were achieving greater equality with men. This was the time of the flapper or young woman who cut her hair short, wore short dresses, smoked, drank and went out to parties. The place of alcohol in society: By that time alcohol drinking was officially prohibited by the government but people continued drinking anyway, even in public places.
- 7. Title You were perfectly fine is the phrase the girl repeats over and over again all along the story, and, actually, the behaviour of Peter was just the opposite. Why did she say that?
- 8. Ending The story ends with Peter asking for a drink and realising the situation he was involved in. Well never know if what the girl said was actually true or not. The story ending can be interpreted in several ways.
- 9. Connections among stories Couples: A shocking accident: Jerome and Sally; The jilting of Jane: Jane and William; The baby party: Mr. And Mrs. Andros and Mr. And Mrs. Markey; You were perfectly fine: Peter and the girl. Love: A shocking accident: Father-and-son love; The jilting of Jane: Man- woman love; The baby party: Parents-and-children love; You were perfectly fine: Peter and his love for alcohol. Lies:A shocking accident: Jerome hides the truth about his fathers death; The jilting of Jane: William leaves Jane without explaining why; The baby party: The relation between both mothers is quite insincere; You were prefectly fine: Maybe the girl is lying all the time.
