T.S. Eliot uses the analogy of a chemical reaction to explain the poetic process. Specifically, he compares it to the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen in the presence of platinum, which forms sulfuric acid. In the poetic process, various experiences and emotions of the poet act as elements that enter the mind and undergo a chemical-like reaction in the presence of the poet's talent, similar to how platinum catalyzes the chemical reaction. The end result is a new creation in the form of a poem that contains no trace of the original elements or poet's personality, just as the sulfuric acid contains no platinum.

William Wordsworth developed a theory of poetic diction in the preface to his Lyrical Ballads in 1802. He believed that the language of poetry should be the language of ordinary people, not a highly crafted poetic language. Poetry should use a selection of the real language used by men in a state of emotion or passion. Wordsworth wanted to use the language of common people to write about their lives and situations in a realistic way. He advocated using colloquial, vernacular words to depict characters and narratives from humble, rustic settings.paperno2

Hamlet is summarized as a tragedy of reflection. It explores Hamlet's complex mental state as he tries to undo the past but is paralyzed by guilt and indecision. His overthinking leads to moral frustration and impulsiveness. This causes the deaths of Ophelia's father and brother, and ultimately all main characters die, ending with the throne being given to an outsider.

The anarchy that spread in northern India after Harsha's death also affected Bengal. After Shashank's death, no powerful king emerged in Bengal for a long time. As a result, there was political instability in Bengal for about 100 years. The Khalimpur inscription reveals that during this period, Matsyanyaya was prevalent there under which the strong were oppressing the weak. Frightened by this anarchy, the people of Bengal made a commander named Gopal their king. This is an important example of the election of a king by the people. Gopal ended the anarchy in Bengal and laid the foundation of a new dynasty. This dynasty is famous by the name of Pala.401 ENTREPRENEURSHIP & SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT QUESTION BANK.docx

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the bodys immune system. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) occurs at the most advanced stage of infection.
HIV targets the bodys white blood cells, weakening the immune system. This makes it easier to get sick with diseases like tuberculosis, infections and some cancers.
HIV is spread from the body fluids of an infected person, including blood, breast milk, semen and vaginal fluids. It is not spread by kisses, hugs or sharing food. It can also spread from a mother to her baby.
HIV can be prevented and treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Untreated HIV can progress to AIDS, often after many years.
WHO now defines Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) as CD4 cell count less than 200 cells/mm3 or WHO stage 3 or 4 in adults and adolescents. All children younger than 5 years of age living with HIV are considered to have advanced HIV disease.

A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 739 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 71 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003.
The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.
- Collaboration: The unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly.
The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

The action of the novel focuses on the hero's memory of the incidents of the 'Mau Mau revolt, the movement began in 1946 Mau Mau rebellion an anti colonial movement which historians says revolt an independence for the African nation. The novel stats into a small village and it give us detail about the physical, psychological and political impact of the revolt on small village people. The novel can be summarized as a "Collective act of recalling and reflecting on the past" that is a narration of nation. We can also compare this novel with European and Latin American style especially historical novel is a vehicle to construct a national conscience.
- 4. The Mau Mau Uprising, also known as the Mau Mau Rebellion, Mau Mau Revolt, or Kenya Emergency, was a military conflict that took place in British Kenya between 1952 and 1960. It involved Kikuyu-dominated groups summarily called Mau Mau, the white settlers, and elements of the British Army, including local Kenya Regiment, mostly consisting of the British, auxiliaries, and anti-Mau Mau Kikuyu. The novel can b summarized as a collective act of recalling and reflecting on the past that is a narration of nation
- 6. What is Uhuru ? The definition of the actual meaning of Uhuru is an open political and social question: the new Kenyan bourgeoisie sees it indeed as the possibility to replace the colonizer without changing the existing social, political and economical structure. Whereas for Gikuyu peasants Uruhu means a profound break with the colonial past, a rebirth which has to bring about the restitution of the white settlers who wants to rule over the others. So Uhuru is a struggle for the freedom and to get individuals own existence and identity. So Uruhu is the central question into the novel it also related with the national conscience.
- 7. Seminal post-colonial writers such as Nigerian author Chinua Achebe and Kenyan author Ngugi wa Thiong'o have written a number of stories recounting the suffering of colonized people. For example, In Things Fall Apart, Achebe details the strife and devastation that occurred when British colonists began moving inland from the Nigerian coast.
- 8. The action of novel focuses on the protagonists remembrances of the events of the Mau Mau Revolt- the birth of a new Kenya. The author choose Christianity as a knife to tear apart the society. They looked beyond the laughing face of the Whiteman and suddenly saw a long line of other red stranger who carried, not the Bible, but the sword.
- 9. We say that the novel is not only indicates the nationalism but also it reflects the sign of national epic. The Kenyan writer offered a romantic view of a nation marching towards freedom. The sacrifice the natives gave did go in Vain. Mugo confesses and the community is overtaken. The novel gives us detail about the physical, psychological and political impact of the revolt on small village people.
- 10. The novel can be summarized as a collective act of recalling and reflecting on the past that is a narrative of nation. The narrative is divided between the new national bourgeoisie and the peasants. And in this way we will say that the novel is an ant colonial struggle of national epic.
