Separating the components of a Ternary Mixture Introduction Mixtures are usually content of two or more substances. There are two kind of mixtures‚ Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. For Homogeneous mixture we cannot see the individual particles of the components‚ a good example of that will be air‚ cola drink‚ and rubbing alcohol. And for heterogeneous mixture we can see the individual particles of the components‚ a good example of that will be rocks and soil. There are a variety of methods

“A&P” is a short story by Jhon Updike. I really enjoyed reading this ironic story. Three girls had walked into a grocery store called A&P. All the workers of the shop were drooling over them. Just to impress the girls one worker quits his job when manager made comments on the dressing of the girls. But the girls didn’t notice him. While I was reading the story 1 got surprised that what was the purpose of the girls to wear a bath suit and come into the shop? Jhon Updike didn’t explain much about it

This story stands out as true to life because of the extreme detail Updike uses to set the scene of the grocery store‚ as well as the way he develops his characters. He watches the girls make their way through the grocery store‚ never failing to describe where they are whether it be by the bread or by the peaches. He even goes so far as to describe the stores location in relation to the beach to explain how odd it is that the three girls came into the store in nothing but their bathing suits. He
