Lather And Nothing Else Analysis

The short story, “Later and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez, is a story about a barber, who receives a special customer with the name of Captain Torres. This customer can be known as the barbers enemy because Captain Torres is known to kill revolutionary. This becomes a problem for the barber because he himself is a revolutionary. While the barber shaves the Captain, he slowly starts to think if he should kill the barber and be a hero in the eyes of the revolutionary but is constantly conflicted because of his sanity and his paranoia of society.

It was not easy for us to alter our practices … [people said] “This razor is the razor that came from my grandfather, then everyone has to go through it!” It was a matter of tradition. Because, after thorough research, we did not find any book or African history, saying that the German razor was the only instrument that could be used. At that time, the first razors were German. (…) The razor appeared solely as an instrument that was good for cutting. The barber shaved his beard, and this led the pai of the terreiro to understand that it was good to shave the beard and the head and make the cuts. Today we work with a disposable razor; it is not possible to do otherwise’. (Pai João, 68 years, Xangô)

Modified starch or powder (not to confuse with genetically modified) increase an oil’s viscosity without heating and can withstand fluctuations in temperatures better than its traditional counterpart. It also has a longer shelf life.

“Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez is a short story about two enemies who encounter each other in a barber shop. The story starts when Torres comes into the barber’s shop and asks for a shave. He begins to tell the barber about the leaders he has caught, who were revolutionaries, and his future plans for them. The barber is secretly a revolutionary, but Torres does not know this. The barber thinks to himself, “I was secretly a revolutionary, but at the same time I was a conscientious barber, proud of the way I did my job.”(258) and realizes he values his dignity. The barber resists the temptation of hurting Torres with the blade in his hand and decides he would rather keep his reputation of a good barber than being a murderer

The way the author writes in how easy it would be to kill the caption “I could cut his throat just so, zip! Zip! I wouldn't even give him time to complain and since he has his eyes closed he wouldn't see the glistening knife blade or my glistening eyes.”. The author does this is such a way that you know everything the barber is think but you do not know what the barber is going to do until its made.

Barbers are a fascinating breed. Not only do we entrust them with our beloved tresses, which makes remarkable difference to our physical appearance, but we also surrender our lives to them. Just imagine the pressure on your throat. Mild slit and you’d spill like a sack of beans. Saloon is also the only place where we truly disconnect from technology.

In the current century more people are thinking about their personal health and beauty, and facial hair is a clinical part of looking immaculate since it contributes to their appearance of how they are displayed to the public. My main target audience will be male characters, however this will be a unisex barber where female will be welcomed. Nevertheless I will still be expecting more male`s since there is more males located in this section of Birmingham, and in the schools such as Holte where there is averagely 7/10 boys in each class, and from this we can understand that there is the likely for more boys to come in for haircut. There are quite few competitors around the location which may create competition, but I have services and prices

Ultimately, the barber is mistakenly identified as the dictator by others. This leads to the crux of the film where barber is given the opportunity to speak before the entire country, impersonating the dictator. Initially, the barber starts of the final speech in an unobtrusive manner by speaking rather softly and plainly. However, as he progresses through his speech, he becomes noticeably more confident and passionate about his words. He shares his vision of an ideal society where there is no hostility between people of different backgrounds.

Brad Weiss does a great job showing the reader that barbershops around Tanzania are more than just a place for getting a haircut. He explains to the reader in great detail that the people of Tanzania see barbershops as a place for obtaining news, catching up on the latest trends, gossip, discovering new music, or just simply hanging out. Barbershops provide men with a “chance”, an “opportunity” or a “place” during times of uncertainty. Weiss spends most of his time at barbershops because it is a great place for studying popular culture and allows him to see what the clients at these barber shops find interesting. There were some things that I found problematic in Weiss’s writing that can turn off some readers. Some parts of the book he tends to over analyze and bore the reader with useless facts. I found myself

The year is 1959 and America is going through one of the most pivotal moments of its cultural history: when rock gave birth to the Sexual Revolution. Grease, considered by some to be “A fantasy of the 50’s” (Canby) and “50s nostalgia fun” (Boyle), is in fact a direct parallel and excellent representation of America’s turbulent graduation from the 50s to the 60s, from repression to freedom, from calmed to riotous. This hour-and-fifty-minute roller coaster of a movie inspired by a rowdy, concupiscent, and altogether brilliant piece of Broadway theater rejects the stereotypes of the time for musicals and attempts a purer experience to reveal the underlying truths of American culture.

In the starting, I visited saloons and explained the barbers about the blind shaving test and how it worked. They happily agreed to participate enthusiastically in this blind shaving test as they were happy with companies’ complimentary gifts.
