Before leaving the office to go to lunch, I washed my hands. I really like doing this at lunchtime. I don’t enjoy it so much in

the evening, because the roller towel you use is soaked through: one towel has to last all day. I mentioned it once to my boss. He told me he was sorry but it was really a minor detail. (The Stranger, Part One, p. 25) Which of the following themes is best represented by the excerpt? denial family duty guilt the absurd

the absurd

This detail about handwashing and the roller towel is absurd. This is not an important detail just like the boss says. It's an absurd thing to be organizing his day around and telling the reader about. However, the detail does add to the characterization of the narrator. There is no denial happening in this little anecdote about handwashing. There is also no duty or guilt. He doesn't seem to feel any duty towards anything and he's certainly not feeling guilty, nor is the boss.

Explain how the speaker of “To His Coy Mistress” views women in general. In other words, what does the poem reveal about the tim
kati45 [8]
The persona in "To His Coy Mistress" is basically a guy coaxing his lady love to "do it" with him using arguments of time and mortality. While this concept of convincing a woman to "give it up" is timeless, in this poem it is rather clear how the persona sees women as objects for pleasure. His persuasion, while flowing with cadence, reeks of machismo typical of predominantly patriarchal age.
