The Foster Portfolio (Kurt Vonnegut, 1951)

English
1 answer:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The Narrator didn't believe Herbert at first because Herbert appeared to be very poor, and he thought he was not going to make any money off him.

Explanation:

The Foster Portfolio is about an investment broker who was called by Herbert Foster to look at his portfolio and manage it.

He went to Herbert's house for that purpose but was initially disappointed with the general lack of affluence of the household and its occupants.

According to the narrator "my business is handling other people’s money, and I have a great respect for money" and that he is "a salesman of good advice for rich people", so he couldn't see how he could help a man who appeared to be neither rich nor to have any money to speak of.

That was why he didn't beleive Herbert was in ned of his services.

Writing a Postcard.
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

This is an example of how to write a post card with the information in the instructions. Feel free to change the place so that it will be more realistic:

Dear …,

Here I am, up north, to finally see the Niagara Falls! I told you this day would come!

We arrived a couple of days ago and, although the trip itself has been nice, the weather has been nasty – rainy and windy. Yesterday, since it was raining cats and dogs, we had to stay at the hotel. The rooms are bigger than I expected. The beds are comfortable, and they keep it all very clean, which you know is one of my pet peeves.

Today, we will finally go see the Falls. I’m writing this as I wait for the others at the reception. After finishing our tour there, we will have dinner to celebrate the safe trip.

And how are things with you? What’s the weather like in London right now? Write to me soon!

What was meant by “it had nothing to fear but fear itself?” (to kill a mockingbird)
lesya [120]

Answer:

He said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” meaning that we don't need to be afraid of anything other than being afraid — if everyone will remain calm, the troubles can be sorted out and addressed, but if people panic and stampede, things will only get worse.
