Mr. Butt

“He remains aloof from the masses and if he claims equality for all, it is not because he feels that men are

Mr. Goldman is an elderly man that has been living in Long Island, New York for a long time. He is a nice and compassionate character that only wants to listen to someone recite Shakespeare and attend plays. He owns Goldman’s Bakery and has owned it for a long time. He runs the shop on his own and doesn’t need any help because he is the only employee. He says, “Why would I need someone to sweep or wash dishes when I have my own hands?” He is a humble man and thinks that he does not deserve any changes.

He never directly says it, but when analysing the text his feelings towards the royal family are apparent; from the fact that he mentions, " she needed no

"...but what thrilled you was just the thought of their humanity--like yours--the thought of your remote kinship with this wild and passionate uproar. Ugly." (p.64) This statement shows that he does not believe in treating people this way in their own land.

Accidentally, a precipitate attempt of being benevolent might contrarily exacerbate the present situation. In the short story” The Sampler”, which is written by Ira V. Morris, the free samples of a shop are imposed on by an incongrous and poor man. Consequently, the narrator shows compassion and tries to do him a favor. However, the narrator’s genuine endeavor ends up with noting but utter repentance. The author shows that sincere intentions might be adventitiously misinterpreted by the beneficiary, and instead of ameliorating the circumstances, the eventual outcome is an adverse predicament.

One of the examples of Twain’s exaggeration is when Wheeler describes Smiley. He says that he would bet on anything, if he bet on how far a bug would go, he would follow that bug to Mexico. This gives the story a very humorous tone. In this story a feeling of regionalism is seen too because Smiley finds pride in his frog being the best in his area. Whereas Harte does not use humor as his main element to present the West, instead he uses comic relief. In Harte's story, the citizens of Poker Flat mining camp have decided to rid the county of trouble makers, and exile a gambler Mr. John Oakhurst, prostitutes the Duchess and the Mother Shipton, and a drunken thief Uncle Billy. The exiles must find shelter and head for the next camp, Sandy Bar which is located further into the mountains. Sandy Bar is a day journey and the banished have very few Supplies, plus it is winter, and snow is expected. Harte chooses to use sarcastic narrative to emphasize the direness of the group's situation, plus, to emphasize the lack of the group's propriety and common sense. One example of Harte's humorous, sarcastic narrative is the line, Mr. Oakhurst seldom troubled himself with sentiment, still less with propriety; but he had a vague idea that the situation was not fortunate. Another example would be, but they were furnished with liquor, which in this emergency

Based on the text, what can the reader infer to be the tone of the President's

As they watch their nightly Walter Cronkite and have their daily dose of lima beans, It shows that reader that Holling has the typical life of a perfect child, in a perfect house, with a perfect family, and a perfect business. As Holling said, “...you’d come to my house-which my father has figured out was right smack in the middle of town. Not on the north side. Not on the south side. Just somewhere in between,” (Schmidt 3). The perfection Mr. Hoodhood is determined to have, shows how desperate he needs to impress others for his business. Furthermore, Ponyboy Curtis lives on the east side of town with his brothers Darry and Sodapop Curtis, as Greasers. Ponyboy has a significantly different life than Holling. While Holling would watch Walter Cronkite, Pony and the gang would go to rumbles. Ponyboy also would eat chocolate cake for breakfast as opposed to Lima beans for dinner. Life in the Curtis household is relaxed while they keep their door unlocked for friends to crash. Just as Ponyboy said “We never could tell who we found stretched out on the sofa in the morning,” (Hinton 105). They never felt the need to lock their doors because they were open to all, compared to Mr. Hoodhood who would most likely call the cops if he found someone laying on his sofa in the morning.

“But take my word for it, you youngsters - and I've learnt in the good hard school of experience - that a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own - and - We hear the sharp ring of a front door bell.”This shows the power of Mr.Birlings and how he is a capitalist he always thinks that he is correct no matter what but when the moment when the inspector arrives it's now accidentally it arrives at that time to cut Mr.Birling's speech so he could stop with his capitalism, the inspector, the contrary of Mr.Birling decides to arrive at the perfect time to make tension in the family.

On page 53, he states his superiority over the community of his brothers by saying “I have my mind.” This clearly illustrates how his view of the society sees the citizens as brainwashed and mindless of their own self. People everywhere are naturally entitled to their freedom of mind and action, and should never be killed of spirit and uniqueness at birth, as the brothers of the community were in

His big break as a children’s book writer came as a result of his wife. She was a producer of a television show and invited one of the show’s guests home for dinner on night. After dinner she and Chris Van Allsburg showed him some of his illustrations as part of a casual after-dinner conversation. He was immediately impressed and gave the number of Walter Lorraine, an editor with Houghton Mifflin Company, to him and asked him to call him. When he finally contacted Mr. Lorraine, the man was so impressed with his drawings that he convinced Chris Van Allsburg that he should venture into children’s book writing.

Bob owns a Bugatti which is described as his ultimate “pride and joy”. He has invested most of his savings into his car and hopes to sell it one day to ensure he will live comfortably after retirement. While talking a leisurely walk one day, Bob is faced with the decision to save the life of a child from a runaway train or to save his prize car from being ultimately demolished. Bob chooses to save his car. Singer continues his appeal to pathos by stating, “Bob’s conduct, most of us will immediately respond, was gravely wrong.”

Divided into five chapters, this book follows Stephen's life from childhood through adolescence to manhood. We are essentially given a window into Stephen's consciousness, and the whole world is unveiled to us through that single aperture. According to Sydney Bolt, no novel written before A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man can match its variety in styles This indicates Joyce's originality. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is told in characteristic dialogue and ironically sympathetic

Moreover, he adds on saying Mrs. Pearce, “… if she gives you any trouble, wallop her.” (Act II, 37). He also recommends Mrs. Pearce to; “put her in the dustbin” when she says that she has no room for
