 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge my heartfelt thanks to all

those who have helped to make this project possible. I would like to extend my
sincere gratitude to Mr. Hari K V Associate Professor, Department of English,
Government College Madappally, who has been most helpful and cheerful, and
has guided me in the right way. He is a caring and motivating teacher whose
words of concern and encouragement still sound in my mind. I thank him for his
sympathetic but critically demanding response to the first version of the
manuscript.

I am grateful to other teachers in the department for their many helpful

and insightful suggestions, and I thank them for the thoughtfulness that they
have brought to this task. I would like to thank my friends and classmates for
many insights while sharing the enjoyable burden of writing this project. My
thanks are also due, and of course, I am deeply indebted to the members of my
family for their support.
