Lather and Nothing Else

This both occurs for the heroic barber in the story “Just Lather, That’s All” and a hero that decided to leave the terror group called ISIS. In the story “Just Lather, That’s All,” the barber thinks about “how easy it is to kill him” as well as the quote “I don’t want to be a murderer,” and ends up saving him. This shows two contradictory quotes when he decides whether or not to kill him. It also proves how it is hard to kill someone for the first time, which is a negative element (and anti-hero) when the barber in the book is a positive, heroic character in the first place. This also proves that it is difficult to make decisions because he switches from an evil perspective into a heroic perspective. Similarly, in the world, Hammad, an ex-ISIS fighter, realized that the terror group (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) were more interested in power and beheading fighters’ and civilian heads. Also, Hammad made a huge, risky decision in leaving the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which was a terror group, but he was sent to jail later for conspiracy to plot a suicide mission against the terror group. This shows the heroic traits of Hammad because he made a very difficult decision that can put his life at risk if he decides to leave the Islamic State (which can result in death or jail if the ISIS fighters find out) or stay there (risk of

How is our character reflected through the choices we make? Daily actions help reveal what beliefs and values are important to each individual, which will begin illustrating a person's character. One’s actions usually demonstrate important values and beliefs such as respecting others, courage, and dignity. As an individual becomes more conscientious of the values and beliefs they deem are important their choices and actions will further establish character. In “Just Lather, That's All”, Hernando Tellez develops the idea that an individual's values and beliefs influence the choices and actions they make, which in turn will further reveal the person's character. This is demonstrated by the barber’s decision to allow the Captain to leave

“Just Lather, That’s All” proves that decisions people make and the dilemmas they end up in reflect largely on their personalities. Decisions show everyone what kind of person you are (enthusiastic, depressed, anger-deprived, intelligent, careful, judgmental, etc.) This short story is about a war between the governments’ military forces and the protestors (‘The Rebels”). During this war, there was a local barber in the town. The captain (of the troops against the protestors) came into

guts and that he wanted to survive. In return for his favor of helping the guard,

I think in the Story Lather and Nothing Else, the barber did the right thing of not killing the Captain. Firstly, that’s what he genuinely wanted to do, as, throughout the story, his inner conscious kept telling him not to kill the captain. “Does he deserve it? No, hell no! No one deserves to be the sacrifice that turns other people into murderers.” I think that the inner conscious always keeps showing the person what they truly believe in. In this case, the barber firmly believed the fact that he was not a murderer and doesn’t want to become one either, which is clearly stated in the quote, “I am a revolutionary but not a murderer.” In addition to that, he was also immensely worried about his reputation which prevented him from doing anything

Tellez reveals to the readers that the barber is secretly a rebel. He has a conflict within himself about whether or not to kill the captain because that is definitely what the other rebels would want from him. In the end, he decides that morals are not worth sacrificing for what others want. He simply shaves the captain and lets

The sniper isn’t hesitant to kill but, the barber couldn’t kill just one man. Within “The Sniper,” the sniper killed the old women immediately, without any remorse. On the other hand, the whole story about the barber was on him debating whether he should kill Torres or not, and in the end, he decided to let Torres live to see another day. Clearly, the sniper is all about taking risks but, the barber is apprehensive about doing anything outside his comfort zone. For example, in “The Sniper,” the sniper decided to sign up to fight in the war and by doing so he risked his own life. But, yet in “Lather and Nothing Else’’ the barber was too frightened of killing Torres that all he could think about was about the consequences,“ Where would I hide it? I would have to flee.” The final trait is that people knew that the sniper was their enemy, while the barber believed he was working in secret. In “The Sniper” the women could instantly identify the sniper as an enemy. Unlike in “Lather and Nothing Else” the barber believed that Torres didn’t know he was against him, “Torres did not know I was his enemy. Neither he nor the others knew

‘The barber man was small and flash, as barbers mostly are, he wore a strike-your-fancy sash, he smoked a huge cigar.’

The reasoning and thought process behind any decision will dictate the outcome of the situation, as it is affected by prior knowledge and experience, which is necessary in predicting how an event will play out. In both “The Day of the Last Rock Fight” by Joseph Whitechill and “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez, the authors use fear driven characters who are in similar situations regarding immorality. However, the events leading to and reasoning behind their thoughts remain very different despite the fact that the circumstances they find themselves in are alike in nature. This is portrayed through the barber and Ronnie’s contrasting beliefs and impact from society. It is also shown through the variance in the decision making process carried out by the two individuals. Ronnie habitually makes hasty decisions that will benefit himself, whereas the barber makes calculated and selfless decisions. Through the two stories it is explained that the latter will result in a better conclusion, as being selfish and too quick to act can lead to unexpected personal and external conflicts. The opposing outcomes highlight the idea that the ways in which decisions are made are extremely influential, regardless of the circumstances.

to save his own skin. Back in 1999, confronted by the evidence Internal Affairs had against him, the officer sought to cut a deal. In exchange for a sweetheart sentence and immunity against further prosecution, he would tell them about misconduct at the forces

Majority of us guy’s go to a barbershop to get a sharp haircut or just to kick back and get a laugh out of all the crazy and funny story’s that customers or barbers like to share. At times that barber can be a role model to us younger gentlemen because some of us might of grew up without a father figure in are life and he could show a positive example of what a hardworking man should be or basically just because he is a man’s best friend because that 30-45 minute haircut could include some of the best advice that you have ever received from another person. But one thing that 50% of us didn’t know that Barber’s in the early ages were Barber surgeons, which meant that they were surgeons and also dentists performing most of the duty’s that a normal dentist or surgeon would do now a days. So that’s why I decided to do my Research paper on how barbering has changed over the year’s! I’ve spent various amount of hours shadowing barbers who are veterans in the barber business and well known and respected among the barber community and also been attending barber battles and competition’s around the Bay Area just so I can see the different types of styles a certain type of crowd might have over a certain crowd and to experience that real barber brother and sister connection there is that is well known and respected among different barbers nation and country wide. With this experience of shadowing barbers and spending time in barbershops I’ve seen the art of barbering is a beauty many

My first connection In the story Lather and nothing else is that the barber his to choose to kill caption Tores or not to kill him. I have to choose to go to Normen Bethune or go to Bill Crother. The barber is a secret rebel and he his to do something to help the rebels or don't do anything so the rebels will get killed. I'm to some extent similar to the barber because my parents didn't know most students in Bill Crother doesn't care about their marks so I have to decide for myself, if I wanted to go to Bill Crother and make new friends , but I won't know is they are friends that going to help you or influence me to do horrible things in the future or go to Normen Bethune with the friend I alright have and stay with my aunt on the weekdays.

Petrozzo then answered the question everyone has probably asked themselves at least once: what would make him want to shave his iconic beard? He replied, “I shaved it once for charity. I trim it when it gets annoying to me, especially when I can’t floss between my teeth.” Knowing that Mr. Petrozzo is famous for his signature beard, he was quick to reply when asked if he believes people would treat him the same with his beard shaved; “No, I don’t think so. I don’t think I would be able to convincingly present myself like an adult without
