    Paragraph If you wish to be a writer, you must learn to develop your own point of view. All good writers make us see things in a different light. You may be writing about the same thing as your classmates, but your presentation must reflect your personality and individuality. There are so many interesting subjects you can write about in different forms but here we will try to attempt writing short stories. There is a good market for the following types: the humorous stories, the adventurous stories, the domestic stories, the mysteries and stories related to animals and strange experiences. Don't worry if your story turns out to be short - some of the best stories are quite short. Be very careful about’the climax or end of the story. It must be what the reader fears, desires, expects or best of all doesn't expect. So, get down to it. Think of a plot-make points on how the story will progress and pen it down. Question 1.

    Paragraph Prayerful Chandra Ray was born on 2 August, 1861 in the district of Jessore now in Bangladesh, close to the birth place of Madhusudan Dutt, widely regarded as the Milton of Bengal. It was the best of times and the worst The British had by now perfected their role as masters and British values permeated the Indian upper classes to the very last detail like table manners. That, of course, was not the worst of the British influence.
