 Indian poetry shows us the opinion, or feelings of the individuals
involved in a situation. In literature, point of view is the
mode of narration that an author employs to let the
readers “hear” and “see” what takes place in a story,
poem, essay etc.
 Paragraph unity is the most important characteristic of
a good paragraph. It defines that all sentences in a
paragraph should speak about one single idea or one
main subject. That is, the topic sentence, the supporting
details, and the concluding sentence should focus on only
one idea..
Coherence demands that the ideas or sentences
presented in a paragraph should flow smoothly from one
to the other. Paragraphs should not only be well-
developed and unified but also coherent. In this lesson
you will learn about paragraph unity and coherence
without which a paragraph cannot be called a complete
composition.

A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal,
who takes part in the action of a short story or other
literary work.
The setting of a short story is the time and place in
which it happens. Authors often use descriptions of
landscape, scenery, buildings, seasons or weather to
provide a strong sense of setting.
A plot is a series of events and character actions that
relate to the central conflict.

The past tense (abbreviated PST) is a
grammatical tense whose principal function is to place
 an action or situation in past time. In languages which
have a past tense, it thus provides a grammatical
means of indicating that the event being referred to
took place in the past.
Present-a tense expressing an action that is currently
going on or habitually performed, or a state that
currently or generally exists.
Regular verbs in the future tense are conjugated by
adding the following endings to the infinitive form of
the verb: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. There are twelve
common verbs that are irregular in the future tense

An interview is a conversation where questions are
asked and answers are given.[1] In common parlance,
the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one
conversation with one person acting in the role of
the interviewer and the other in the role of
the interviewee. The interviewer asks questions, the
interviewee responds, with participants taking turns
talking. Interviews usually involve a transfer of
information from interviewee to interviewer, which is
usually the primary purpose of the interview, although
information transfers can happen in both directions
simultaneously. One can contrast an interview which
involves bi-directional communicationwith a one-way
flow of information, such as a speech or oration.
