Ponnagaram (Pudumaipithan Short Story) & A mother living in a very poor (oppressed) community has no money even to buy the milk porridge that her battered husband Murugesan wants. For that she goes with someone who has been lusting after her for a long time and loses her virginity. She gets three & quarters of a rupee for it. The story ends in a mocking tone about the concept of chastity adopted by the ancients. But with the subtext of the Dialogical theory it seems that there is no room for such a count. We can go into the article assuming that women from oppressed communities also have chastity.

Resumo: Apesar de se tratar de um texto não aproveitado na versão final do romance João Ternura, “O homem e seu capote”, de Aníbal Machado, pode ser lido e estudado de forma independente como um conto. O episódio protagonizado por João Ternura se assemelha a determinadas cenas que o major Cardoso vive na novela coletiva O capote do guarda, da qual participou o próprio Aníbal Machado no início dos anos 1920. No entanto, esta novela permaneceu inacessível aos leitores durante muito tempo, tendo sido reeditada somente nos anos de 2005 e 2006. É possível supor que esta obra tenha sido uma fonte motivadora para a realização de “O homem e seu capote”, o que ainda não foi investigado pela crítica literária. Nessa perspectiva, o objetivo deste artigo é estudar este conto em relação à referida novela, considerando-se o capote e as ocorrências ligadas a esse elemento nas duas narrativas. Espera-se contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do universo literário do escritor, especialmente em relação ao período que antecede a publicação de seu primeiro livro.Palavras-chave: Modernismo brasileiro; Aníbal Machado; Major Cardoso; João Ternura.Abstract: Despite being an unused text in the final version of the novel João Ternura, “O homem e seu capote”, from Aníbal Machado may be independently read - and studied - as a short story. The episode’s protagonist is João Ternura and the text is similar to certain scenes Major Cardoso lives in the collective novella O capote do guarda, with which Aníbal Machado himself contributed to in early 1920’s. However, this novella remained inaccessible to readers for a long time, being reedited only in 2005 and 2006. It is possible that this work was a source of motivation for writing “O homem e seu capote”, which still was not investigated by the literary critique. In this perspective, this article aims to study this short story in its relation to the novella mentioned above, considering the Capote (or the Overcoat) and the instances related to this element in both narratives, in the hope to contribute to better understanding the literary universe of this writer, particularly regarding the period before the publication of his first book.Keywords: Brazilian modernism; Aníbal Machado; Major Cardoso; João Ternura.

Lev Tolstoy’s short story “Khodynka”reflects the tragical events of Nikolay II’s coronation. The story was written during a day but it had been prepared for a long time. Tolstoy put down notes in his Diary, read lots of publications about Khodynka, listened to the eyewitnesses.He underlined that “The psychology of this event is very complicated” – the current entertainment changed into tragedy. The protagonist who hurried into Khodynka, at first dreamt only of winning a ticket, afterwards he became embittered and tried to release from the crowd. But the child’s rescue and then the one of Rina caused some new feeling in his soul which exalted him from the daily routine. The article studies the literary peculiarities of the story, the development of the motif of joy, originalityof the portrait, the role of the details, of irony, etc. Some parallels are marked between the stories ofV.Krasnov and F.Sologub.

This study is to find out the relationship of characters to illustrations in a collection of 9short stories from NadiraKarya Leila S. Chudori. In the collection, there are four short stories that contain illustrations of the main characters namely "Melukis Langit”, "Tasbih", "Sebilah Pisau", and "At Pedder Bay". The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method by using Charles Sanders Pierce's Semiotic Theory which includes sign and object. The study of characterization or characterization is done in two methods namely direct (telling) and indirect (showing). The results of  this study indicate that out of the 4 short stories analyzed only 3 short stories that have character relationships with illustrations, namely the short story "Melukis Langit", "Tasbih" and "Sebilah Pisau". Short story of "Melukis Langit" depicts Nadira's character who is strong against her father's behavior since the death of his mother. The short story illustration shows Nadira crying in the bathroom to vent her sadness. Short story "Tasbih" describes Mr. X with a mysterious character illustrated by showing Mr. X's face full of mystery while the short story "Sebilah Pisau" tells Kris who is Nadira's secret admirer. Kris's character is displayed with illustrations illustrating the event when Nadira was surprised to see Kris's table filled with Nadira's picture. Short story "At Pedder Bay" tells Nadira's old friend Marc who is also an admirer of Nadira for a long time. The main character, Marc in this short story is not illustrated in the illustration. The short story shows a background, namely the lake and the figure of the woman sitting pensively.

<em>This research is aimed to describe the power of sexuality in Joss Wibisono's Rijsttafel Versus Entrecôte short story using Foucault's concept of power juridic-discursive which investigates the negative relation rulers toward homosexual and assertively power some rules by creating a cycle of prohibition, censorship, and uniformity of the apparatus. This research was conducted by using qualitative research techniques that analyzed the short story Rijsttafel Versus Entrecôte by Joss Wibisono through a post-structural approach. Data is obtained through hermeneutic reading. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that in this short story the power over sexuality was regulated by the Dutch colonial government through the implantation of inferior idea on the values and culture of Bumiputra; the sexuality policymaking that applies to the people of Bumiputra; the creation of discomfort, anxiety, and fear of discuss about homosexuality; and the uniformity of Dutch colonial values over its colonies. The relation between text and actualization in society is the force of power over sexuality that has been going on for a long time and also influenced by the Dutch colonial government’s point of view over homosexual.</em>

In this article the short story of A. P. Platonov “The Impossible” (1921) is considered as a multidimensional wholeness, with a complex structure – at the level of genre and of narration. We highlight biography, scientific article, elements of a philosophical essay, lyric and philosophical poem in the genre structure. In addition to a neutral background, we highlight the lyrical monologue, scientific and publicistic discourse at the narrative level. The genre and stylistic heterogeneity of this short story did not allow researchers to unambiguously determine its genre dominant for a long time. It was not by chance that at first in earlier studies “The Impossible” was classified as a publicistic genre. Only in the first volume of the Scientific publication of Collected works this story is included in the corpus of Early Short Stories of Platonov. In a certain perspective, this work can indeed be read as a publicistic article containing the author’s reflection on philosophical, scientific concepts in the specific manner of Platonov, with overstepping beyond the boundaries of one genre. The focus on the addressee, declared at the beginning of “The Impossible”, activates its communicative function. The inclusion of his own technical developments by Platonov in this story introduces an element of scientific autobiography. At the same time, “The Impossible” is the life story of the “new saint”: the embodiment of the image of the “new human”, whose life, if it did not end so suddenly, could open the way to the Mystery of the World – the main metaphysical problem that occupied the mind of the young Platonov. At the same time it is the lyrical narration about the “sobbing” beauty of the world and the incredible, “impossible” love of the hero – the narrator’s alter ego to his beloved Maria. Using the technique of duality, the author is able to express his most intimate experiences through the image of the “other”, to expose his own soul to the reader. The unifying layer that maintains the integrity of this story is the motive structure with such basic components as the motives of the Mystery, the transfiguration of the world in the version of rebellion into the universe, light, impossible, silence, music, love, death and immortality, etc.

When, if ever, is it okay to let evil win? Should all wars be fought to the bitter end, or is ending the suffering of your people more important? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the Prime Minster is a long-time military man sworn to fighting the evil aggression of the Theocratic Republic of New Anglia. The war has been going on a long time. As a military leader, he ran on the platform of ending the war in his first term. He is elected and brings his most trusted military advisors with him to office. Albert was one of those trusted advisors he brought with him. Days before a large military operation, Swift Wind, is about to take place, Albert makes a startling discovery. There is a leak in the President’s office, the Angelians know of the coming invasion. Albert rushes in to tell the Prime Minster who promptly locks him in the bathroom and tells him he is the one who is the leak. Swift Wind is meant to fail. The Prime Minster has decided that the only way to end the suffering is to lose the war.

The Relationship

This paper describes a short story of how I learned in early days in space physics (1960–1970) that there are the direct and feed-back relationships between geomagnetic storms and auroral/magnetospheric substorms. In those days, both geomagnetic storms and auroral substorms were almost independent subjects. It is now understood that auroral substorms are directly related to the development of the ring current and thus of the main phase of geomagnetic storms. Further, we have begun to recognize that the growth of the ring current (caused by auroral/magnetospheric substorms) will change the internal structure of the magnetosphere, which in turn will change and could modify at least the intensity of auroral substorms. Thus, there are interesting feed-back processes between them. It is expected that this feed-back relationship between geomagnetic storms and auroral/magnetospheric substorms will become one of the major issues in magnetospheric physics in the future. In fact, an effort to understand this relationship will deepen our understanding of both geomagnetic storms and auroral/magnetospheric substorms. The progress in understanding the relationship between auroral substorms and geomagnetic storms is an example, in which it takes a long time to advance even one step. It is hoped that this paper will serve to learn the background in the development of space physics in the early days.

Bosnian-Herzegovinian ethnomusicology started to develop in the early 1930s. The first Bosnian ethnomusicologist, Friar Branko Marić, began to research the traditional folk music of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1920s and presented the results of his research in the doctoral dissertation Volkmusik Bosnien und der Herzegovina (1936). The first systematic ethnomusicological research was initiated by Cvjetko Rihtman in 1947 within the Institute of Folklore Research. The main goal of his fieldwork was the collection of old, traditional “untouched”, and therefore locally colored music forms. Thus, the concept of “authentic” was for a long time dominant in collecting, and when associated with “old” it worked well. However, this one-sided approach had to be overcome, since rigid approach to modern processes was a threat to the development of Bosnian ethnomusicological thought.

The present study is an attempt to test the effect of wide short story reading on the precision and difficulty of EFL students’ composition ability. The research was accomplished at Fan Bayan Language Institute in Ajabshir, Iran on advanced EFL students. The entire sample group of 30 learners exhibited a high amount of improvement in a composition ability pre-test, which had an experimental part and a control part. The experimental group of the study comprised three entire weeks of short story practicing before the final test. A composition skill post-test was administered for both the experimental and control groups of the study. The subjects’ compositions were graded according to precision and difficulty of the final test and a T-Test was applied to investigate the students’ improvement according to their grades. The outcomes of the research proved that long-time reading of such stories could empower students in the experimental group to apply and use many answer patterns in post-testing.  Keywords: literature, short stories, extensive reading, writing, accuracy, complexity.Cite as: Nozen, S.Z., Kalajahi, S.A.R., Abdullah, A.N., & Jabbarzadeh, H.
