The question that the narrator of "Why, You Reckon?" wonders about is, "Can money buy happiness?"

The answer that the story proposes to the question is, "No, money can't buy happiness"

One detail from the story that supports this answer is the incident when two poor black men connived to rob a rich white man; they took everything they could - his money, diamonds, shoes, coat, and so on. The rich man was not in any way upset about being robbed; rather he was very excited. He said "This is the first exciting thing that’s happened to me... This is the first time in my life I’ve ever had a good time in Harlem", thus showing that money, for those who have a lot of it, is just something disposal, not important.

Answer:

A beautiful metaphor to explain the necessity of a solid but vivid structure and a logic order while writing a speech.

Explanation:

The idea of thihes metaphor, like all metaphors, is to visualize the topic - in this case writing a speech - in order to have a clearer idea on how to proceed.

Following this methaphor we could start with the head and introduce the topic in a few sentences of well selected words. When you move downwards to the middle and extremities you might go into some more details, using the arms and legs as a means of subdividing your topic.

Your feet, obviously, are important to keep you on the ground and not get lost in airy idealistic observations.

And remember, the human body is a perfect machine and very lively.

ser-zykov [4K]

Brutus and Cassius quarrel. Brutus accuses Cassius of having an itching palm which means he has taken some bribe in place of homage to power. Cassius is heartbroken to think that his dear friend Brutus is angry with him.

During the quarrel, the truth of Brutus' bad temperament is revealed. His precious Portia is dead. She has swallowed hot coals and killed herself.

Brutus has lost the most precious gift in his life. He has lost his beloved wife. He has no will to go on. He might as well be dead along with Portia. Through his grief, Cassius' faults are magnified. After much discourse, quarreling, Brutus admits his reason for being so indignant.

Cassius realizes that Brutus is commenting out of anger, hurt, and bereavement at losing his wife.

Brutus decides to put his anger aside and offers Cassius wine. The two share wine and a handshake. In the face of death, the two breach their divisions.
