Short story&_160;· NovellaProse lacks the formal structure of meter or rhyme which is typical of poetry; instead it is composed of full sentences, usually divided into paragraphs, and then smaller segments known as meta-paragraphs. Although some works of prose may happen to contain traces of metrical structure or versification, a conscious blend of the two forms of literature is known as a prose poem. Similarly, the poetry with less of the common rules and limitations of verse is known as free verse. Poetry is considered to be artificially developed ("The best words in the best order"), whereas prose is thought to be less constructed and more reflective of ordinary speech.[1] Pierre de Ronsard, the French poet, said that his training as a poet had proved to him that prose and poetry were mortal enemies. In Molière's play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Monsieur Jourdain asks something to be written in neither verse nor prose. A philosophy master says to him, "Sir, there is no other way to express oneself than with prose or verse". Jourdain replies, "By my faith! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing anything about it, and I am much obliged to you for having taught me that."

1. How Visual Books Can Help A Child To Read
October 29, 2009
A visual book can be defined as any book that relies on pictures to tell a story or demonstrate a concept. Words can be evident in visual books but often take a secondary role to the images.
Kids who come late to reading may struggle with large tracts of text, pages of prose alone that are generally symbolic of having achieved a competent level of reading.
Comics can offer an enticing intermediary for kids who are still drawn to books but who may reject the idea of traditional chapter books. While there is still a certain amount of stigma attached to comics, there are a number of ... (read more)

6. Retail is a positive place to be
October 02, 2009
Worsening unemployment, reduced availability of credit and our static housing market all combine to keep the economic environment subdued. Certainly, during this period, UK retailing has had to cope with lots of difficulties.
However, perhaps the recession’s most insidious impact lies in its brutal assault on trust and confidence. Indeed, where occasional fragments of good news do emerge, our misgivings often remain.
Yet, against international comparisons, British retailing is one of our most advanced, innovative and resilient sectors. Our 2.8 million employees comprise 11% of the t... (read more)

7. BrightHouse gets strong signal that everyone wants a TV
October 02, 2009
Radio Rentals conjures images of mutton-chop sideburns, Ford Cortinas and episodes of The Sweeney on ailing television sets.

10. Recession-Buster BrightHouse Has No Magic Formula
October 02, 2009

BrightHouse is a rent-to-own electricals, white goods and furniture retailer, based in Scotland, the north of England and Wales, which targets the sort of low income shoppers other retailers would normally dismiss as a customer base. Its differentiation is that it provides credit to customers so that they can pay for goods in weekly instalments, if they want to.
Last financial year, BrightHouse grew sales by 16.9 per cent, with like-for-like sal... (read more)

12. Tips on Business Plan Financial Statements
October 02, 2009
A business plan contains a great deal of prose, but funders know that the numbers in the plan can make it or break it. These numbers are presented in three basic financial statements.

If the business is already in operation, the financial statements can include past actual numbers, the present numbers as well as projected targets.
The three key financial statements for a business plan are the income statement, the balance sheet, and... (read more)

17. Anthony Trollope's Autobiography
September 16, 2009
This is wonderful book, to own, to treasure, to read and re-read for a lifetime!
Trollope's Autobiography is a perennial source of wisdom--besides being inspirational--to writers, but in particular to fiction writers. The book in general is an ABC of perfect, round sentences, and sentence variation, which of course makes for agile prose.
However, personally, I find three chapters that are unsurpassed in English letters: Chapter VII which contains his 'Scheme of Work;' Chapter X deals with language and the homage to Thackeray; and Chapter XII with Novels and the Art of Writing them.

While the oeuvre of popular authors such as John O'Hara, Ernest Hemingway, and Norman Mailer, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Fowles -who wrote so much in their lifetimes-- are by now buried in the dunes of oblivion, E Rice Burroughs' Tarzan remains vibrant and beloved.
