Literacy

It is a simile because it compares two things by using "like" or "as."

It is definitely true that reading is a dying habit, and one of the major reasons for the decline is the advent of the electronic medium. Even the reading of newspapers has been limited to that of headlines and few introductory paragraph. If one gets the news and can watch a few soap operas for entertainment just by pressing a few buttons , why should anyone then take the trouble of reading ?Now we have not sufficient time for reading . But that is very sad that we are losing the very flavour of life. Just sitting like a robot in front of a box which gives us informations like robots , listening to it, watching it, kill our intellectual faculties. We have failed to realise that the lasting impact on the mind can be provided by the written words alone. Reading gives one time to ponder over things and it enriches our vocabulary too. Another factor which is responsible for the decline in our reading habit is the high cost of reading materials. So it is a rare sight to find a person who could be called a voracious reader.

Dusk has a cleverly manipulated plot. the main ingredient of the plot is a cake of soap. All the three characters are connected with this. The young man fails to produce it which is the sole evidence of his story, Gortsby finds the soap after he dismisses the young man and his story and the old man at the end is shown looking for the same cake of soap that he has apparently lost in the park. The young man did not want to use the soap provided by the hotel so he goes out to get one and in the process loses his way to the hotel. However, when he looks for it in his coat pockets, it is nowhere to be found. when Gortsby finds the soap, he is filled with remorse it is the young man's so he lends the young man some money , the story ends on a surprise note when the old man comes back looking for the soap.

there is lot of humour which the author has added to this story where the young man tries to win Gortsby's sympathy with his story of forgetfulness Gortsby does not believe him and therefore he weaves a story as to how he himself had forgotten his way to the hotel in a foreign country

the plot is well set up to keep alive the suspense till the end, it helps to retain the interest of the reader till the end. With the Dusk as the background the author weaves a gloomy picture of city life. It also stands for the deception that rules city life.His description of the elderly man sets the stage for the suspense to unfold. Gortsby's sarcastic comments hin at some unexpected turn of events.We share his opinion about the young man as a trickster, the dramatic appearance of the soap brings a twist to the tale.While we sympathise with the young man the author brings in another twist to the story, the elderly man walks back looking for the cake of soap which is definitely an expected ending.

Question is unspecific to give a sepcific answer. Assuming it is in situations where resources are limited there will be a short supply of educational services: high teacher student ratio, cramming of schools etc. However, if there is reasonable access to educational institutions, it can also work as a self-supporting initiative. It can generate resources leading to efficient use. Also creates pressure for good education. It also has a lot to do with the distribution of population - how sparse is it. Too sparse and too high is problamatic from delivery point of view but providing employment is a key challenge in such a situation. Coupled with poor quality education with unemployment is the recipe for social strife.
