<em>The man with the umbrella</em> in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" <em>conveys to the central themes of the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world.</em>

"There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is a short story written by Fernando Sorrentino that tells the story of a the relationship between the narrator and the man with the umbrella that hits the narrator for 5 consecutive years. The character of the man with the umbrella represents the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world as he does the same action, which is in some way a useless action, every day no matter what, for 5 years. He, representing monotony and how the modern world works, shows no emotion and seems to be unaffected by anything that happens around him.

What needs to happen in order for world hunger to change for the better? How can you go out and help?
Rashid [163]
In order for world hunger to change for the better, everyone would have to be completely selfless and willing to give some to help those who have none. If those who have more than they need can give some of their food or money to people who live in poverty, there would be enough to go around. In America and other places like it, food is in such excess that we waste vast quantities of it every single day, simply because we can't eat or sell it all! If even half of that food was shared, not only would the issue of hunger be eliminated, but the waste problem too! I can help achieve this by sharing the excess that I have with others. I could donate food, money, or my time to a charity, or even just bring food to the homeless. It isn't hard to help!
