Title of the paper: Biography of Rudyard Kipling and Articles Written by the Author

Author or topic: Rudyard Kipling

Abstract: I would like to deal with two aspects about one of the most important authors and poets of the British society of the nineteenth and twentieth century, Rudyard Kipling, by retrieving information from different web pages.

On the one hand, regarding his life, Rudyard Kipling was born on 30 December 1685, Bombay, but educated in England at the United Services College, Westward Ho, Bideford Soon after he came back to India in order to work as a journalist for Anglo-Indian newspapers and afterwards, when he wrote a vast number of works, he became a prolific writer and poet and received many honorary prizes such as the ‘Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Literature’ in 1926 and ‘The Nobel Prize in Literature’ in 1907. He died on January 18, 1936.

On the other hand, I would like to mention some articles written by him, narrating some of the events based on his travels from India to Burma, China, Japan and The United States en route to England in ‘From Sea to Sea and Other Sketches, Letters of Travel’, and apart from that, two more articles are ‘A Fleet In Being’ and ‘Kipling's India: uncollected sketches, 1884-1888’.

Auto-evaluation: 7

I think I deserve this mark because I have been getting informed through some pages about this author and I have tried to organize the ideas in a useful way.
