Answer:

The Hack Driver- Summary

The narrator of the story explains that after completing his graduation he started working with a famous law firm in the city. He was working as an assistant clerk there. He was not very happy with his job of serving summons because sometimes he had to face harsh situations while serving them. One day, he got the task of serving summons to Oliver Lutkins who was a key witness in some case. He lived in a small town named New Mullion.

The narrator was very excited to visit a small and beautiful town but his excitement ended by the dull appearance of the town. He saw a hack driver standing at the platform who was very cheerful and nice. He went up to him and enquired about Oliver Lutkins as he was new to the town and wanted to find him. The driver told him that Oliver was a nasty man who owed debt to many people. He also cunningly extracted information from the lawyer that he needed Lutkins for some court case.

A deal was cracked between both- he decided to hire Bill’s hack and go on a search for Lutkins. Bill somehow traps the lawyer in his story and they visit different places in search of Lutkins. He always asks the lawyer stay behind. They go to Fritz’s to catch Lutkins while playing poker. But he tells them that he has gone to Gustaff for a shave. At Gustaff’s they weren’t able to meet him and were told that someone saw him at the pool room. Here also somebody said that he left the poolroom after buying cigarettes.

Bill described Lutkins as a cunning man and guessed that he must have gone to gray’s for a shave. In the afternoon, Bill offered him to buy lunch from his wife as it would be less costly than at the restaurant. They had lunch at wade’s hill which was a very beautiful place. By that time the clerk was totally impressed by Bill’s nice and cheery nature. He had even started comparing village people to city people. Later on, they went to search for Lutkins at his mother’s house on the basis of information derived from one of his friends.

There the lady was horrible and they hurriedly left the place as she was about to attack them with a hot iron rod. At last, the lawyer had to leave without serving summons to Lutkins. Next day he was scolded badly by his chief and was again sent to New Mullion with a companion who knew Lutkins. Upon reaching the station, the clerk happily pointed out that Bill was such a helpful person to him search Lutkins.

At this time, the truth was revealed by his companion that the hack driver was none other than Lutkins himself. The clerk felt so bad and ashamed of how he had been fooled by a villager.

Please write a paragraph (5 sentences) about how you feel about crayons.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

I feel that crayons are not as good as coloring pencils or markers, because they do not draw nicely. If you go over it, it will have an erase-like effect that will leave a spot white. Crayons are better for smaller children who are not allowed to use pens or markers, because it lets them have a more creative imagination. They are easier to use on bigger spaces, rather than adult coloring books that have small spaces to color.

Answer:

1. She learned about maturity in life from chess rules. She said we must be wise enough to make good decisions in life. In the end, you will be sorry you made a wrong decision that speed things up in the short term. When you are in the middle of something, do not brag about how much you have done. It could have negative consequences for you. People who are captured should be kept in neat rows, like well-cared-for prisoners. Never say "Check” with vanity, lest someone with an unseen sword slit your throat. Never hurl pieces into the sandbox after you have lost a game, because then you must find them again, by yourself, after apologizing to all around you". Keep your flaws and flaws in mind when you think about the things you have done.

2. Waverly's mother thinks that Waverly's success is all down to luck, not challenging work. You should always say what is polite, even if you do not really mean it. Mother: Waverly's mother is very humble in public. She tells people who admire Waverly's chess skills that it "is luck" for them to show "proper... humility" (p. 96). Though Waverly learned that she is smart and has the skills to succeed—ambition, coolness under pressure, and patience—she did not believe that she could succeed. She has also learned how to use her brain to solve problems. She is no longer afraid to be herself. Waverly learns how to play chess through challenging work and by reading and practicing on her own. At the same time, she builds up an invisible strength that allows her to win at chess. "Luck" is not what she would say.

"I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and obscured to a tiring opponent." (p.94) Waverly reflects on how she gained life lessons from chess. Waverly had remarkable success in chess and later in her profession. Waverly achieved harsh success by applying chess lessons in life. She had a different life than her companion, June, whom she considered as a competitor.

3. Waverly started winning chess games because she realized the mistakes she made and the different strategies she used while playing with Lau Po. Waverly has developed more skills and strength since he assisted her, even after gathering information from books to beat other chess opponents. I know this since the text states, "I lost many games and many Life Savers.”
