¶ … capture the attention of the reader instantly. The opening section or introduction of the proposal should contain important elements of the work. Firstly it should provide the reader with a clear indication as to the value of the work. The introduction is not required to be an extensive treatise on the topic that is to be discussed but it is required to state in clear terms what the research is about. The introduction also contains a statement of the problem. This statement of the problem provides the reader with a very terse expression of dependent variable in the study. The dependent variable particularly in quantitative research is considered the problem or phenomenon to be studied.
Another important section within the introduction is the significance of the study. For research to be valuable it must attempt to provide answers to some problem. The problem may be methodological or practical. In proposals sent for funding this discussion is very important since it not only demonstrates the immediate value of the work, but it may also identify future usage of any findings of the work. Once the significance of the work is identified the next major concern for evaluators of the proposal will possibly...
It should be noted that a good proposal will advocate for novel approaches to resolving longstanding issues within the particular discipline. This novel approach could be theoretical or methodological. It is this freshness that gives rise to new knowledge, products and interventions. It should also be remembered that when proposals are evaluated the dominant concern is the value that the work will bring to the existing field of knowledge.
The literature review is an important cog in the process of identifying the gaps in the discipline that the work will fill (Nachmias, & Nachmias, 2000). The literature review takes greater prominence in quantitative studies than qualitative studies. Quantitative studies tend to focus on testing some existing theory or providing practical solutions to existing issues (Neuman. 2000). Qualitative studies are often not reliant on literature reviews because the phenomenon under consideration is often novel and under explored by other researchers (Creswell 1994). For the quantitative study the literature review provides ample evidence for the need for the study to be done.…

She is ten and very tired."("Lolita," 87) Again in the hotel room, in the ecstasy of his dream, Humbert loses his 'word-control' in a dialogue with Lolita, building up the tension through a virtual linguistic explosion. Language breaks free, and Humbert lets himself be carried away into a maze of Latin and English and linguistic inversions: "What's the katter with misses?' I muttered (word-control gone) into her hair. 'If

We actually feel that we are there, one of the spectators, experiencing the story along with Procne and Philomela. Titus lacks these specificities and cultural details. Similarities, however, may be found in other elements. The imagery in both narratives is rich. Both Ovid and Shakespeare have a penchant for enlivening the passages with verbal imagery, particularly in the forms of simile and metaphor. Tamora's praise of the forest alludes to

Instantly, Mrs. Rodstrom recognized his smile. "Well, I dare say, it is!" Mark put down the paper suddenly. "If he's in the store we need to find him, now! Come on, Virginia!" "Mark, what is this?"
