The marginalized women in the major plays of Tennessee Williams
My article explores the predicament of the marginalized women in the major plays of Tennessee Williams- one of the most prolific American dramatists of the 20th century. In his three major plays- “The Glass menagerie’, “A streetcar named desire” and “Summer and Smoke” we witness the women who live with a sense of despair- trapped and displaced by the patriarchal norms of the American society. Though Williams does not openly champion the rights of the woman in his plays, he however strongly empathizes with their marginalized existence in the contemporary society. They are portrayed as helpless figures, who have no control over their destinies and are alienated in their social circles. Blanche, Stella, Amanda, Laura and Alma are delicate and sensitive women who struggle their best to adjust with the society- but in the long run are misunderstood, rejected and victimized in the male-dominated American society. They inhabit a world of men, who are indifferent to their needs and to their womanhood. Each of these women loses her place in the world governed by the male characters. The pathos of Blanche, Laura, Amanda and Amanda is that they refuse to acknowledge their state of passivity and continue to struggle for their dignity and social standing even when the battle seems lost.

Language attrition is the loss of a first or second language or a portion of that language by individuals. This paper examines the effects of social class and age on attrition of some old words and expressions of Isfahani dialect. To obtain the results, we distributed a questionnaire among 120 male/ female citizens from three social groups each including 40 upper-social class, 40 middle-social class and 40 low-social class with an age range of 25 to 65.

So the age and social class are two main factors contributing to the attrition of Isfahani dialect of Persian.

Use of formal mentoring in Kenyan primary schools as an intervention for enhancement of qualities attributed to academic success; mentees’ perceptions.
One of the main challenges that the Government of Kenya faces in an effort to achieve Education For All (EFA) is poor girls’ participation in education. In spite of the government’s as well as its partners’ efforts and achievements in ensuring that girls participate in education, the prevailing disparities in the primary, secondary, and university levels in favour of boys are clear indications that there are still gaps to be filled and challenges to be met. There is clearly a need for concerted efforts to achieve higher participation of girls in education at all levels. This study visualized that a formal mentoring program can be a suitable intervention and further found it interesting to establish and report the girls’ perceptions on the suitability of formal mentoring in the enhancement of qualities that are linked to academic success.
