Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition, and expansion of colony in one territory by a political power from another territory. Ronald J. Harvath in his essay A definition of colonialism says, “Colonialism is a form of domination-the control by individuals or groups over the territory and/or behavior of other individuals or groups. (3)” Invasion towards culture by the colonizer was always prominent as it domination of this was a great tool for them to hegemonize the colonized. Even though the colonizers left, they burdened us with their culture’s impact on ours for which we have seen the birth of a mimic man, rise of language debate, identity crisis, etc. Post colonialism is an academic discipline featuring methods of intellectual discourse that analyze, explain, and respond to the cultural legacies of colonialism and imperialism, to the human consequences of controlling a country and establishing settlers for the economic exploitation of the native people and their land. Through post colonial analysis the role of a mimic man to social change, language debate and identity crisis of the colonized can be re discovered.

Though he was a bad king, an excellent metaphorical poet residing within Richard makes him a successful character. His role as a king and role as a poet were inversely proportional.

The batteries in a Road Side Units (RSU) are either physically recharged or kept alive with solar/ wind energy. In this research, an RSU with a large rechargeable battery will be considered. I propose a reinforcement learning algorithm namely SARSA to make the RSU have sufficient artificial intelligence so that it may impose an optimal policy to schedule the downlink traffic during the time of discharge so that the service requests are met to the fullest extent with quality.

The essay started with the typical ideas of literature like imaginative or creative writings, fictions, factual writings, etc that were approved in the medieval period. After that, he mentioned about the theory of Russian Formalism which emerged in Russia before the revolution of 1917. Russian formalists believed that in literature, form is more important than the content of the text. Roman Jakobson, a famous Russian formalist referred to literature by denoting it as organized violence committed on ordinary speech. The formalists emphasized on practical, material, and scientific interpretation rather than symbolist criticisms. They applied linguistics to the study of literature. They argued that, texts are not combined with ideas, fictions, reality or metaphysical truths. As they said about the form only, they relied much on poetry than prosaic writings. After discussing about this, Eagleton argued that if literature is a self –referential language, a language that talks about itself.
