... with his Catholic teachers. By the
end of Chapter One, Stephen's individualism and lack of tolerance for
disrespect become evident when he complains to the rector about the actions
of Father Dolan. His confused attitude is clearly displayed by the end of
the chapter when he says, "He was happy and free: but he would not be
anyway proud with Father Dolan. He would be very kind and obedient: and he

both the emperor and the palace are not in ruin, the littleness of the
government and the people in general is displayed in this act. Another display

... gum minus
their outer wrappers. (Lee, p.67)
Although Scout may not have realized the connection of the gifts,

... again, and the old fear, the hatred and the bewilderment came crowding
back again. But there had been a moment – he did not know how long, thirty
seconds, perhaps – of luminous certainty, when each new suggestion of O'Brien's
had filled up a patch of emptiness and had become absolute truth, and when two

recapture it, he could remember it, as one remembers a vivid experience at some
remote period of one's life when one was in effect a different p ...

... in humiliating Julie Gregg for being interested in Doc Stair and even went so far as to imitate Stair's voice on the phone and set up a phony meeting with Julie then chased her down the street when she showed up. The fact that Whitey narrates these stories in first person doesn't soften Jim's awful practical jokes but shows the barber's equally insensitive ignorance making Jim's character all the more plausible.
Most citizens at the barbershop and pool hall admire Jim's "jokes" and even participate in ridiculing some of the secondary characters Lardner introduces in the story. By contrast, the seco ...

Number of Words: 986 / Number of Pages: 4
... A large gap between the rich and the poor became the cause of other societal problems such as poverty, vagrancy and theft. This problem was worsened by the ruling class.
