What is literature ?
Literature is a term use to describe written or spoken material. The term is most commonly used to refer to words of the creative imagination including works of poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction. Literature is the art of written works. It is the body of written works of a language period or culture. Literature is published in written works in a particular style or particular subject. Literature is the mirror of life. Our life and all the subject are related to our life is the subject matter or element of literature. So we can get the touch of our life trough literature.Etymologically, literature has to do with letters,the written as opposed to the spoken word, though not everything that is written down is literature.
What is the function of literature ?
As based conception, Aristoteles in “poetic’ that the function of literature is called “catharsis the primary functions of literature are to delight the reader, and heighten his awareness of life. The subsidiary functions are ‘propaganda’, ‘release’ and ‘escape’; but they are subordinated to the primary creative functions of literature.Propaganda literature’ must be distinguished from mere propaganda in which there is nothing creative. The writer of mere propaganda is simply concerned to popularize facts, ideas, and emotions with which he is familiar. But propaganda that is literature is a creative influence irradiating and transforming the writer’s experience.‘Release literature’ is that in which the dominant motive of the writer is simply the assuagement of starved needs, the release of pent-up forces in the personality. Romances, detective stories, thrillers, poems etc.
Literature also provides ‘escape’ from the grim realities of life, and many people read to escape boredom. The higher type of literature helps the reader to escape from trivial reality into significant reality.
Element of Narrative
Conceptual elements ( surface facts )
Actions – events and the sequence ( plot )
Character ‘ agent of motivation
setting – point of reference
Mode of narration ( expressive devices )
Point of view - focus of the narrator knowledge and values
Style - focus of the author’s atittudes and values

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
2. Definition
The practice of representing things by symbols or of
investing things with a symbolic meanings or characters.
or
A set of systems of symbols.
4. History :
Symbolism initially develop as a French literary movement in
the 1880s, gaining popular credence with the publication in 1886
Jean Moreas manifesto in Le Figaro. Reacting against the
rationalism and materialism that had come to dominate the
western European culture, Moreas proclaimed the validity of pure
subjectivity and the expression of an idea over a realistic
description of the natural world.
5. Use of symbols.
What readers go through by reading the story for first time.
Symbolic meanings are embedded in the texture of story.
6. Common sense for symbols :
Is a good place to begin
Good sense and good judgement
Like :
Wedding ring
Bridal dress
Polo pony trademark
7. Conventional symbols :
Are widely recognized signs that signify a concept or idea that a
society understand based on common culture understanding.
Like :
The Christian cross, the star of David
a swastika, or a national’s flag
all have a understood Meanings by a group .
8. Literary symbols :
The actions of a character, words, action, or event that have a
deeper meaning in the context of the whole story .
It can include traditional, conventional, or a public meaning.
Like :
Soldier’s home a short story
by Ernest Hemingway.
10. Metaphor as symbolism :
A comparison between two unlike things without using the words
“Like” or “as”.
For example :
Time is money
Love is a jewel
Life is a roller
He is a rock
11. Allegory as symbolism :
An allegory can be a entire story, poem or book with symbolism
that continue throughout the literary piece .
Like :
The novel on a pilgrim’s
progress (John Bunyan)
The novel on
Animal farm (George Orwell)
12. Symbolism in literature :
It is often used by writer’s to enhance their writing.
Symbolism can give a literary work more richness, color and
make the meaning of the work deeper.
13. Function of symbolism :
The function of symbolism in literature ,almost all writers like
using symbols to extend meaning beyond the prosaic.
A symbol is a figure of speech in which an object, person or
situation represent something in addition to its literal meaning.
14. Purpose of symbolism :
It’s a vital tool that allows the author to convey meaning
and imagery.
It adds power and the impact is greater, when its done well.
15. Example # 01:
In the movie “The Life of Pi” symbolism are used
heavily. In fact the tale is an allegory. It was an
allegory about faith, the joy and the light brings
to life. It also symbolizes the journey of “Pi” takes
as a person, growing in strength and Intelligence.
16. Example # 02:
Peter pan is a symbol for eternal childhood. He is
attractive, wild and hateful towards adults. The
“kiss” at the corner of Mrs. Darling’s mouth is a
dimple, a smile, a shadow, or perhaps
something not visible at all, a charms and
an inaccessible depth. The ticking crocodile
represents time specifically, the movement of
time that begins and ends a human life.
17. Example # 03:
The play Macbeth by William Shakespeare
used blood, both real and imagined, as
a symbol of guilt, both of Macbeth
and lady Macbeth. Another symbol used
in the play is a raven, which usually
represents ill fortune.
18. Example # 04:
In the lord of flies, Ralph with his conch shell
represents order and democracy, while jack
symbolizes savagery and anarchy. The island itself
symbolizes the world in which we live, and the
actions of the characters are symbolic of the way
different people conduct their lives. The beast
represents the darker side of Human nature.
