Question
Anne describes herself as a 'little bundle of contradictions'. Why? Explain in your own words.
Solution
Anne reflects that her personality was a ‘little bundle of contradictions’. She had a dual personality, but she never showed the nicer, softer, gentler side of her to people, they only saw the fun-loving, flirtatious, easy-going Anne. Whenever she tried to show her more quiet and serious side, everyone thought that she was either in a bad mood or sick and pumped her full of medicine. She always expressed her conviction that there were ‘two Annes.’ The jovial and lively Anne either amused or exasperated the people, whereas the sentimental and private Anne was known only to herself. As she grew up, she understood her actions and motivations better over the course of her writing and felt aggravated by the split in her personality. She referred more and more to her outward and inward character.

| Modular Phone | Parts of Human Body |
Every phone you buy, no matter how costly and latest it is, will go out of date in a year or so. That’s how quickly the smartphone world is moving right now. To keep yourself up to date with the current specification you will have to keep switching phones every once a while. What’s the solution to this problem?
MODULAR PHONES!
A modular device is a phone, tablet or another device where individual components such as the screen, camera, CPU, battery, memory can be removed by the user and replaced by others with a different specification. Imagine your body to be your phone and your clothes as the components, you can wear anything according to your needs and moods. Similarly, modular phones let you choose between components of different properties and specifications.
This would mean we’ll have the liberty to customize our phones, just like Lego building blocks! The main components of the phone will be Brain (processor), Spine (frame, screen) and Heart (battery). The other components may include a camera, storage memory, GPS, audio jack, speakers, USB module, etc. and the phone will have a motherboard, i.e. a base that will hold all components together
