In the story “The Strangers That Came to Town” by Ambrose Flack, the Father decided to punish his sons, Tom and Andy. In order to become friends with the new family, the Father and his sons, Tom and Andy, decided to go fishing with the Duvitches. While the Duvitches were busy doing their own thing, Andy decided to play a rotten trick on them. “We held a brief whispering conversation; and then, egged on by him and quite willing on my own, I played a shameful trick on the Duvitches, the memory of which will come back to the end of my days to plague me. Without considering further, I dropped the cake of soap into the tub of fish.” (Flack 6) Because of Andy’s trick, he ended up poisoning the Duvitches large supply of fish.
Dumas stated, “Displaying the hospitality that Iranians so cherish, my father extended a dinner invitation to everyone who called”(321). “As a result, we found ourselves feeding dozens of people every weekend”(Dumas 321). Her mom intended dinner starting on Monday for the next weekend. Since she didn’t drive, her husband took her shopping every Tuesday for all the provisions she needed for the dinner. Availability and freshness of food and herbs determined how long the shopping trip would be.
The quizmaster – who himself has gone from rags to riches - presents this belief to the audience, and their response shows them to be in agreement with it. The wealthy were seen as intelligent and were given more chances to move up than the poor people from the slums. The inspector was a middle class man who probably never knew what it was like to be poor. He immediately felt that Jamal was a lying, cheat and that he couldn’t possibly have known the answers because he was only a poor “chai walla”. This is a contradiction because one of the inspectors involved was really stupid and showed it in the way that he got angry when Jamal used big words or said something he didn’t understand.
It could be amusing to the audience as it highlights the absurdity of the situation. Also, in the same scene, Frank does not get Rita’s joke about him being named after the quality who is Frank Ness, Eliot’s brother who was the famous ‘Chicago copper’ who caught Al Capone. Frank thought Rita meant T.S Eliot. The audience may feel superior to Frank, as they may understand the joke so this would be amusing to them. Professor Dan Rebellato states that: “we laugh at something because we feel superior to it”.
Odysseus also a firm believer in hospitality; Which explains why he was in such distress after learning of the suitors attempt to take everything he’s ever worked for. Guile is a clever form of deceit. Odysseus was full of it; the perfect example was when he introduced himself to Polyphemus. “My name is Nobody; Mother, father, friends/everyone calls me Nobody.” (IX) Odysseus knew that they would they would try to kill Polyphemus, so He gave him this alias because he was aware that Polyphemus would call for help to the other Cyclopes, and when he did he would sound like an idiot. He also used his guile on Calypso.
Late in the year he tackled the informal essay and gave us a list of topics from where we had to choose one to write about. All topics seem to be almost as dull. The night before the assignment was due, I visually scanned the list of topics and my eyes landed on “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”. This topic brought me vivid memories of a night when my mother and other family members served spaghetti for supper, an exotic treat in those days. Suddenly I wanted to write about the warmth and good feeling of it, but simply for my own joy, and not for Mr. Fleagle.
For example he says, "People are always ruining things for you" (Salinger, 87). At the club, he didn't want to sit with Lillian Simmons and her boyfriend complaining he would be bored so he left blaming them. Holden holds a pessimistic view on life. Holden thinks, "Game, my ass. Some game.
Thar. Experience 170 The Idiot “play analysis” In “The Idiot” I think Dostoyevsky was trying to show how twisted our society is, and how even a saint of a person is treated badly without deserve. I believe Dostoyevsky wrote this play with mostly realistic qualities, such as how people take advantage of “the nice guy” all the time with Prince Myshkin continuously being tricked by everyone he knew, and how the power of love makes you do crazy things with Rogozhin killing Nastasya even though he would have given anything to be with her. I thought most of the actors did a really good job. I did not like how some of the actors played double roles because in an already confusing play trying to follow “who is who” is not an easy task.
Ankit Mehta Teacher’s Name: Sally waren ENG 101 Date Narrative Final Draft Greed a Curse It was an ordinary Saturday night, and just like most of the other nights, I was hanging out with my friends. We had agreed to grab dinner at Taco Bell earlier that day right after we were done with our shifts at work. I was excited to get together as well as to eat, since Taco Bell had been my favorite place to eat for many years. We had all finished eating pretty quickly and decided that we should do something since the night was still young and all of us did not really have anything to do the next morning. I suggested that we can go back and hang out at my house but Dave, one of my closer friends for many years, said we should all go to the casino.
“Being so short notice most people will have already made plans” I thought to myself “I guess that leaves all of looneys that never get invited to much” I first called Sammy. I wanted him to help me host because he works at grocery store and could get me good discounts. But, it turns out, he quit his job earlier in the week. I still asked him to host though, I really didn't have anyone else to ask. He accepted my offer and told me he'd be over shorty.Under Sammy's request, I next called Queenie.
