A short story known as prose fiction displays fully developed themes yet significantly shorter and less elaborate. In The Tiger, S.Rajaratnam, the late Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore conveyed two vital messages through an ingenious use of literary devices. A theme is a central idea that is discussed in a piece of writing and some writing piece may have more than one theme.

There are many reasons that an advertisement can be memorable. Some advertisements make a mark for themselves by being romantically-themed, or comedic, or a little bit gross. However, Poo-Pourri, the "'Before-You-Go' Toilet Spray" managed to include all three of those elements into their genius ad campaign. As the tagline suggests, Poo-Pourri is a liquid that can be spritzed onto the surface of the toilet water inside the bowl before one uses the restroom, and the film the liquid creates keeps in

ON OPTICAL CAMOUFLAGE (Application to IMAGE PROCESSING) BY, J.IMMANUEL V.JEFRINS E MAIL-ID : immanmilky@gmail.com Jefona47@gmail.com ABSTRACT: The abstract of this paper is the working principle of a Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak. In order to make the cloak invisible, Light from all directions travel through the object, rather than hitting it. Because of not being able to interact with light, the hidden object is therefore made invisible. Optical Camouflage: Active camouflage provides concealment
had no prewar time reconnaissance of the area. Acres of west coast landscape needed to be camouflaged in order to hide the wartime factories and bases. How could they hide from the enemy and continue production? The solution came in Operation Camouflage California. The plan was to hide the factories in plain sight by covering the area with a netting to disguise it from enemy air attacks. The responsibility of this task fell Colonel John F Ohmer. An engineer from
Introduction Numerous species have evolved to exhibit some form of camouflage, which is an adaptation that allows species to blend in with certain aspects of their environment. This impressive ability has become a common and taxonomically widespread adaptation that numerous prey species have adopted to reduce the likelihood of being either detected or recognized by predators. The theory of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin suggests that "those individuals who possess superior physical, behavioral
Growing up he gets bullied and develops a camouflage to help him survive. The Judge was a bully at the boarding school Peekay went to. He tortures Peekay and makes him his slave.

wears a mask to finish an objective, while others use non-literal camouflages. These thoughts are best exemplified in Twelfth Night, written by Shakespeare in the time of 1599 and 1601. In this parody, Viola, the primary female hero, dresses as a man to look the nation of Illyria for her sibling, Sebastian, who was lost adrift amid a tempest. With a specific end goal to satisfy the objective of discovering her sibling, Viola camouflages herself as a man keeping in mind the end goal to satisfy the objective
category in the near future. Sepia apama is being threatened by bottlenose dolphins, seabirds, sharks, humans, fish, seals, and others of its kind. To protect themselves they have evolved to be able to change the color of their skin very quickly to camouflage with the surroundings. When this technique doesn’t work Sepia apama squirts a reddish-brown ink to help them get away. Due to the nature of the ecosystem the Sepia apama live in, they have
beginning of the Vietnam War for America, which for many years would continue to influence American popular culture, with music being the most polarizing recipient. Different clothing designs became more popular after the Vietnam War; most notably camouflage becoming mainstream. Directly corresponding with the increase in wartime within Vietnam and deployment of U.S troops in Vietnam, music (mainly rock) began to take a more vocal approach to the world's problems, such as unnecessary war or large drafts
Sea horses have adapted to better survive in their habitat by their ability to camouflage themselves, there ability to move their eyes independently, and their toughness. Sea horses have a hard life but these adaptations help them to survive. I believe that these adaptations make a difference in life or death in these sea horses. The first adaptation that helps them survive is their ability to camouflage themselves. This is a helpful tool because if there is a predator hunting them, if they
military vehicle like the spots of a leopard or the stripes of a tiger. Reptiles like the horned lizard of North America get rid of shadows by pressing their bodies to the ground, and their sides are fringed with white scales which break up and camouflage any dark shadow line that might fall along the body’s edge. Some industrious animals actively seek to make themselves cryptic by using materials from their environment, such as twigs, sand, or pieces of shell to conceal their outlines. Case in point
‘man’ and a ‘woman’. This allowed for public appearances within the extremely heteronormative culture. While this seems more like a dress up game of ‘who gets to be the butch tonight?’ it’s much more than that. It was a survival technique; a form of camouflage. Similarly, as discussed in Before Stonewall, gay men had to conform to heteronormative values and norms as well. Masculinity had to be proven. George Buse, one of the men interviewed in the film, stated that the manliest display 9of masculinity

Studies have shown that Chameleons tend to use the ability to camouflage for protection. An article said, “Chameleons are one of the most famous champions of quick color change, alternating between stealthy camouflage and flashy displays within minutes”( How do Chameleons Change The Color Of Their Skin? 1).

In the contemporary literary context, while discussing mythical characters in numerous hues and forms, human and animal, natural and supernatural as they coexist in the postcolonial texts, the element of camouflage, deception, disguise, changing selves, and shapeshifting become significantly
I conducted a lab that would investigate the question of whether or not camouflage favored natural selection. If an animal blended into its surroundings, I wanted to know if it could more effectively evade predators and survive as a species. I hypothesized that if I were a predatory bird hunting for mice in a field, then the mice that were camouflaged with their environment would be harder to find. The results did not support my hypothesis, as most of the mice (often more than 2/3) that had a similar
