Hi, need to submit a 250 words paper on the topic Why I Live at the P.O. by Eudora Welty.

It has much to say about life and death and life after death. It raises many questions in the spiritual realm and provides us the thought and judgment about sin, guilt, and redemption. The story has the power to transform the commonplace into an extraordinary paradigm.

The first person narrative is the complementary part of both the stories. The use of the first-person narrative in both the stories is so intricately woven with the plot of the stories that representation of these stories with some other narrative pattern would make no sense at all.

The black lady in the ‘I Live at the P.O.’ is important because the single person is representative of a culture and a particular background. The family structure and relations within a particular section of society were expressed through a single character like the black lady. On the other hand, the unnamed survivor from the car crashing and the sole narrator of the story complements it. The kind of explanation, he provides about his life and experience is only possible through a character like him.

The character, therefore, completes the story and is quite crucial.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on String Processing Structures and Algorithms. Your paper should be a minimum of 2250 words in length. A finite sequence or band of characters or bits is called a string. However, in the text below the term string is used for text or character strings. Strings are sometimes defined as an array of characters (ASCII or Unicode). The array is one of the basic data structures that are used to store data. The design of array is based on a logical linear organization (Abstract Data Type) known as a LIST. The list is any linear or columnar representation of data items. Another structure that is used to represent the LIST ADT is Linked List. This is a dynamic structure as compared to an array which is static in nature. The size of static structures cannot be reduced or expanded at runtime (i.e. after they are established or declared in memory). The dynamic structures allow resizing at runtime.

The strings due to their linear nature can also be represented through linked lists but the management of strings implemented through linked lists becomes highly cumbersome. The array is the most suitable structure to implement strings. To make strings finite there must be an end mark that can be easily indicated through a special character. As per the standards established by C language the NULL character (i.e. ‘’) is used as a terminator symbol in the following text.

The strings are generally represented through an identifier. ‘S1’ and ‘S2’ are used as string names or identifiers in the examples mentioned above. Note that both the strings are of varying length with their respective end markers (NULL characters).

Data without operations is meaningless. Similarly, the storage of strings as character arrays is of no use until and unless exposed to the required string processing operations that are required to support real-world transactional requirements. The algorithms for the string operations discussed in the text below are highlighted through a generalized pseudo code.

The abuse of drugs has spread to the rural areas of the US. The likelihood of drug abuse amongst rural teenagers is greater than that of their city dwelling counterparts. A variety of drugs are being abused, in order to pander to the cravings of these juvenile addicts. This study, which had been sponsored by the United Conference of Mayors, attempts to scrutinize this highly disturbing trend. It is a reflection of the importance attached to the prevention of drug abuse by the authorities (Columbia Univ., New York, NY. National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse. No Place To Hide: Substance Abuse in Mid-Size Cities and Rural America, 2001).

This article contains the results of a drug abuse survey, which had been conducted by the Partnership for a Drug Free America. It deals with the effect that communication between parents and their children, has on the abuse of prescription drugs. It is an authoritative work on the effect of communication with one’s children, in drastically reducing addiction to drugs (Fathers need to talk more to kids about drugs 6/27/2005, Vol. 17 Issue 25, June, 2005).

In order to take on the menace of teenage drug abuse, the Gallup High School in New Mexico, adopted a number of novel and innovative measures. Some of these are imparting knowledge of the problems resulting from abuse and the explicit and implicit effects of such abuse. A number of contributing factors like peer pressure, domestic environment and addiction were considered. The author, as the substance counselor of that school, has thoroughly studied the problem and has adopted an addict centered approach to the problem (Mulroy, 2007).

There is a proclivity, amongst teenagers, towards prescription drugs, in order to become euphoric. The use of prescription drugs is second to only that of the use of marijuana. Their use is enhanced by the common fallacy that they can be imbibed safely. OxyContin and Vicodin are the favorites of the teenage drug addict. Moreover, girls abuse prescription drugs more than boys. The Office of National Drug Control Policy Executive Office of the President, being seized with this terrible scourge of the American Teenager, prepared a report in this regard. This report describes drug abuse among teenagers (Teens and Prescription Drugs: An Analysis of Recent Trends on the Emerging Drug Threat , 2007).

A 2006 report by Kathleen Louden, had established that drugs sold over the counter or OTC medications, also constituted a genre of drugs that were abused. Some of the drugs identified by her were antihistamines, cough suppressants and decongestants. These were being abused very commonly by teenagers. The importance of this work lies in the fact that it discloses the danger of abuse, even in OTC drugs, which with prolonged use could become addictive. The Dermatology Nursing Journal is a very prestigious journal and the gravity of the issue can be gauged from the fact that this article was published by it (PATIENT CARE UPDATE: Over-the-Counter Drug Abuse , February, 2007).

A number of campaigns were launched, with the objective of battling teenage drug abuse in the

US. In this connection, a survey was conducted by the Parents Resource for Drug Education to estimate drug abuse and the government initiated a number of measures to curb this malaise. This article describes these issues, as well as the manner in which schools and parents are coping up with this problem (Perry, May/Jun98).

In addition, to the quantum of drugs being abused by teenagers. issues such as greater susceptibility to drugs, in comparison to adults, were also examined. Some of these related to the physiological, psychological and social differences. This piece of work, by a renowned psychiatrist, analyses the National Institute of Health’s data in this regard (Rosner, 2006).

This thought provoking piece, describes the alarming increase in drug addiction treatment. To reverse this trend, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced a number of awards for programs that were devoted to preventing drug addiction in teenagers. A list of the eligible programs, along with their achievements was provided. These are important statistics from the US government.

In this thought provoking article Sharon Sloane, discusses a report that had emanated from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, wherein it had highlighted the dangerous trend amongst some of the teenagers, who were of the opinion that analgesics were not addictive. Perhaps, greater attention had to be accorded to the belief among a few teenagers that the unwarranted consumption of prescription drugs was to be condoned. Sharon Sloane, as the president of WILL Interactive, whose gaming products bring about behavior modification and improvement in performance, is a respected commentator on the problem of teenage drug abuse (Sloane, 2008).

The freedom, opportunity and dissemination inherent in modern society, renders the task of preventing teenage drug abuse daunting. The US Department of Justice, being much agitated by this dismal state of affairs has initiated several measures to ameliorate the situation. By its own reckoning, a sizeable number of students have already fallen prey to deadly wiles of drugs (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA).
