  • CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis
    CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis 24 Territory of American Samoa Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan A U.S. Territory since 1900, American Samoa is located in the central South Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii and 1,600 miles east-northeast of New Zealand. American Samoa has a total land area of approximately 76 square miles and consists of a group of five volcanic islands and two atolls (Rose Atoll and Swains Island). The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the major inhabited islands. Tutuila is the largest island and the center of government. Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, collectively are referred to as the Manu’a Islands. Figure 1 Base Map of American Samoa depicts all of the islands of American Samoa. Figure 1. Base Map of American Samoa. The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the inhabited islands. At 53 square miles, Tutuila is the largest and oldest of the islands, and is the center of government and business. It is a long, narrow island lying SW-NE, is just over 20 miles in length, and ranges from 1 to 2 miles wide in the eastern half, and from 2 to 5 miles wide in the western half. Home to 95 percent of the territory’s 55,000 residents, Tutuila is the historic capitol (Pago Pago), the seat of American Samoa’s legislature and judiciary (Fagatogo), as well as the office of the Governor. Tutuila is often divided into 3 regions: the eastern district, the western district and Manu’a district.

  • “Rain”: Depiction of American and Western European Imperialism
    ====================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:5 May 2019 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ===================================================================== Maugham’s “Rain”: Depiction of American and Western European Imperialism Dr. B. Sudha Sai Assistant Professor, Department of English, G.I.T GITAM University, Visakhapatnam-530045 Andhra Pradesh, INDIA [email protected] ================================================================== Abstract The present article is an exploration of what happens when East meets West in a tropical setting. It is a study of the bizarre behaviour that results when a European temperament must face prolonged exposure to tropical climates and customs. It is one of the best short stories ever written by him, in its length and characterization along with resonance of real flesh and blood characters. One can find professionalism pervading the manner which he adopts for this story, the matter, theme, situations and the tropical settings to give the public exactly what they want. This story makes one marvel at its details, composition and ability to touch one’s soul with feelings. Even if one is not a fan of the short story form, feels after going through this story that Maugham’s writing is an exception. William Somerset Maugham is a worldly storyteller with incomparable knowledge of the humankind. His sense of insecurity as an orphan at an early age of ten, proper professional medical training, series of travels around the world, wartime experience in the secret service as a contact with spies during the Russian Revolution in 1917, interesting and varied life have benefitted him tremendously in his writing career.
