CAT Question of the Day The Others appear to operate on the assumption that cancer is impossible on the Island ("One of Us"). Ben Linus appears deeply shocked when told he has a tumor on his spine, and Juliet notes the coincidence that Jack, a spinal surgeon, arrived on the island two days after Ben's condition was diagnosed. Similarly, Rose had been dying of cancer before crashing on the island. After the crash, she feels as if the cancer has "left her body" and, in "S.O.S.", credits her cure to the island. Jack contracts appendicitis while on the Island, which Rose observes is suspicious given that they expect their imminent rescue and the fact that she strongly believes that it is impossible to get sick on the Island.

Tip of the Day While solving Algebra questions, be alert when it comes to positive and negative terms during expansion of binomial expressions. Last year's Question of the day (12-Mar-11) The question below consists of a paragraph in which the first and last sentences are identified. Choose the option that has the most logical order of the intermediate sentences. - In Western culture there are a number of literary or narrative genres that scholars have related in different ways to myths.
- Non-Western cultures apply classifications that are different both from the Western categories and from one another.
- Even in the West, however, there is no agreed definition of any of these genres, and some scholars question whether multiplying categories of narrative is helpful at all, as opposed to working with a very general concept such as the traditional tale.
- Another form of tale, the parable, differs from myth in its purpose and character.
- These refer to causes or explain why a thing is the way it is.
- Examples are fables, fairy tales, folktales, sagas, epics, legends, and etiologic tales.
- Most, however, make a basic distinction between "true" and "fictitious" narratives, with "true" ones corresponding to what in the West would be called myths.
