When entering the main dining room, whether by design or by custom, there is a definite pecking order involved in the seating arrangements.  The first table on the left, presided over by an elderly gentleman with Basset Hound eyes, belongs to the old men of the town.  The table sits in front of one of two large windows; the old men can see and are able to comment on the "doins of them young 'uns running the town these days."  It is amusing to discover that the average age of the people under discussion is at least fifty and they took over their businesses from the same old men looking over them now.

In an author biography written by Paul Dellinger about the late Joel Lane, Dellinger comments about Lane’s technique of commenting on modern society with symbolism and fantastical elements.

David appears to be an average person, with a stressful life, with whom Lane knew many readers could relate.

This thought has only given her an excuse to bring justice through death and more or less blame the murder on Arrow, not Alisa. But for her they’ll always be a consequence.

Speaker 2 describes the act of killing a man as a “hell of a thing” which is not only wrong but morally unacceptable. The dialogue between the two is used to show the difference in reasoning and thinking between good people and bad

The document analyzed is an article from people magazine published in mid-December 1978. Patricia Burstein wrote an article centered on Jackie Rogers, who assists people who intend to quit smoking cigarettes. In a slightly provocative title, Jackie expresses that she doesn’t mind if people smoke, but should they choose to quit; she can help.

As he explains this, he thinks back to personal experiences with this type of thing. “He pictured his Seryozha with a huge cigar, a yard long, in the midst of clouds of tobacco smoke, and this caricature made him smile; at the same time, the grave, troubled face of the governess called up Memories of the long past, half-forgotten time when smoking aroused in his teachers.”
