Problem with Mr G is he thinks in his own level and negates absurdly with his jnkcha on unending SELF-ASSASSINATION. If the toothpaste question is unwanted as stated at the bottom and other confusing questions are irrelevant, why fill up pages and then say yes sir 3 bags full?. So many things are provided by even 3 star hotels,and toothpaste is insignificant. Q7 Algeria French connection is a good one provided , had he conducted research on history. The question why the French liked it is not at all answered. There was a time when European countries started COLONIZING NATIONS ; fRANCE was one such . 132 years France held that area. Algerian culture, and Independence in 1962. France occupied Algeria for 132 years, so that by Independence, there were more than one million people of French descent in the country. After Algeria claimed its independence, these French citizens, who called themselves “Pieds-Noirs” (black feet), were forced to repatriate to France, a country many had never seen. This research compared and analyzed two autobiographies, Ma mère l’Algérie by Jean Pélégri and Hier est proche d’aujourd’hui by Jeanne Cheula, using the theoretical approach, “hybridity.” Pélégri was born in Algeria to a farming family. Jeanne Cheula was married to a French government official and moved to Algeria in 1926. This paper argues that colonialism transformed not only the colonized; it also transformed the colonists because they were forced to grow up in a radically different society than that of France. The effects of this transformation endured until long after the French-Algerians were forced to move “back” to France. Thus, colonialism was about more than just colonists functioning as the homogenous product and purveyor of a colonial power’s policy, it was also about how the colonists themselves were transformed by their host culture – in this case, Algeria – and by colonialism, which continued long after French colonial rule ended in Algeria in 1962. Q8 is another filler; autos are owned and kept at home. Q9 another filler; why 80% of the people live in a city?; why 52% taxes are collected only from Mumbai?; so on and so forth. Why did TAta start at Jamshedpur?. Why are tea esrates and codffeeestates estates only in the mountains?. Q10 Why do learners when driving the car jerk it after starting? Q11 Do women work only because men like it?. KR IRs 121122
