BIFACIAL LEAF: It is also called dorsiventral leaf. This leaf is more strongly illuminated on upper surface than on lower surface. This unequal illumination induces a difference in the internal structure between upper and lower sides. Its internal structure shows: (1) Upper Epidermis This is single layer of cells with thick cuticle which checks excessive evaporation of water from the surface. It does not contains chloroplasts, stomata are also absent. (2) Lower Epidermis This is also single layer but with a thin cuticle. It bears many stomata, two guard cells of which contain some chloroplast, none are present in the epidermal cells. Internal to each stomata is large cavity called respiratory cavity. Lower epidermis of leaf is meant for exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the atmosphere and the plant body. Excess water also evaporates from lower epidermis. (3)...
Introduction Some, literature can be satisfactorily read and discussed taking the author into account. Other literature seems inseparable from the person who created it. To an extraordinary degree Hemingway and what he has written exist in a synergetic relationship, reinforcing and fulfilling each other; he has created a personal legend which serves as an ambience in which we read him. Autobiographical Touches The novel A Farewell to Arms autobiographical elements. The love-affair between Fredric and Barkley, the hero’s injury in the battlefield, his despair and frustration, the hero’s separate peace with life are some of the characteristics of Hemingway’s life. Hemingway himself had received the injury caused by the mortar-shell at Fossalta, and he was admitted into the Milan hospital for recuperation in the late summer and autumn of 1918. He fell in love with the nurse in the Milan hospital. Carlos Baker has thrown light on this fact. In A Farewell to Arms Hemingway was d...
Emerson’s prose-style is noted for its aphoristic quality and its epigrammatic terseness. The essay is with him, as with Bacon, a series of short, quotable assertions without the logical unity of the discourse, but all bound together by the intellectual atmosphere of the source from whence they proceed. Very many of the sentences are remarkable for their force, subtlety, and impressiveness, and some for their poetical beauty. The imagery is of great range, from the sun and stars and down to the meanest weed or insect, and the diction is quaint and original but not in the lest affected. With Emerson prose is the other harmony, i.e. poetry. He is one of the greatest writers of poetic-prose. His sentences have the rhythm and cadence of poetry. He has used a number of stylistic devices such as figures of speech, analogy, antithetically balanced sentences, epigrams, rhetorical etc. The use of these various devices can easily be illustrated from any of his essays – For example take the...
