Visitor and The Adventure of the Speckled Band as Short Stories
The two texts ' Visitor ' and ' The adventure of the Speckled Band '
are typical of a short story genre because they both use ambiguous
titles and short stories with very few characters and settings. The
effect of this is an intense, exciting story which are unpredictable.
The titls in both ' Visitor ' and ' The adventure of the Speckled Band
' are ambiguous and typical of a short story genre. Take ' Visitor '
by example, the word visitor could mean many different things such as
friends, relatives, planned visit, unexpected visit or anything like
that. So the reader is easily misled into thinking that the story is
about those sort of things however we know that this is not the case
with a short story genre. Again with ' The adventure of the Speckled
Band ' the reader is again misled into thinking the title means
something else. The word ' band ' could mean anything from a hair
band, a group or a gang, musical to a ring. But as in ' Visitor ' the
title is actually sending the reader way out with that title. So
overall the titles are getting the audience asking questions about
what is going to happen and creates an open mind to the reader.
The openings are both typical to that of a short story genre as they
lauch the reader straight into the story almost assuming that the
reader already knows the characters and settings as though it were a
soap opera. The opening to ' The adventure of the Speckled Band ' is
descriptive with unanswered questions. " wide spread rumours ", this
quotation gets the reader guessing as to what the rumours are. The
openings are also sometimes very unsure. " Not again, not to soon!",
this is very unsure and nervous start to the story. Both stories have
an opening which is typical of a short story genre as they are both
unsure and confusing.
The characters in ' Visitor ' and ' The adventure of the Speckled Band
' are unsure with no real background information leaving the reader
with little to go on. The author portrays the characters to be widely
known and famous. This saves the author time aswell as making the
story more intense. The author also has to consider working in
his/hers limits and having the characters like this would save much
time for them. With ' The adventure of the Speckled Band ' the reader
is expected to know who some of the characters are.
The short stories "The Interlopers" and "The Story of an Hour" are both great stories. The Interlopers stars Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym along with their decades-long family grudge. The Story of an Hour includes Mrs. Louise Mallard and the unfortunate death of her husband. To compare and contrast these stories, we need to know where their plots overlap and where they are set apart.

...the of the world has rejected fluoride and said it was ineffective to the body. Over 94% of the world’s population drinks unfluoridated water (12 Reasons). In Europe, only five out of 48 countries fluoridate, and European health officials have cited medical, effectiveness, and ethical concerns with it (12 Reasons). The people in Portland, Oregon and other countries that don't fluoridate could do other things to prevent tooth decay.

Dental Caries is a bacterially based disease that progresses when acid produced by bacterial action on dietary fermentable carbohydrates diffuses into the tooth and dissolves the carbonated hydroxyapatite mineral resulting in demineralization. 1 Caries management historically has focused only on the removal of cavitated carious tissue and restoration of the tooth. In modern era, clinicians rely on their vision, dental instruments, and radiography as diagnostic tools but these conventional methods only detect relatively advanced lesions in the enamel. With advent of new emerging technologies for caries diagnosis it helps us as clinicians to detect early, reversible stage of caries and provide timely treatment and prevent
