Great writers have the ability to share not only themselves, but also the inner "regret or secret happiness" of those surrounding them, and Jewett certainly does that with her characters in "Pointed Firs." For example, Mrs. Todd's character is vital, alive, and very believable to the reader because of her emotions, her frailties, and her attachment to the Narrator at the end.

However, in the case of Sudan, it may be said that none of the above theories applies. This is largely due to the fact that there are specific internal factors which determine the orientation of the economy in a certain direction. These are most of the times related to the historical evolution of the country under discussion. In the Sudanese case, the end of the war and the independence from
An interesting trend has been registered in the service industry, especially in the field of tourism. One of the main engines of Spanish economy in the past, now tourism in this country faces fierce competition from Eastern Europe countries.

Pizza Hut has also managed to open franchise stores across Iraq and they could also pose serious competition. But there also exists the chance that the Iraqi consumer will not make a major difference between the American fast food stores, but will compare them to the local food providers in the street. This would also bring about serious competition. 4. McDonald's Social Responsibility McDonald's corporate website presents the user with a wide
