English

Bess [88]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Its main point is a humorous anecdote about an encounter between the narrator and a talkative man who tells him a seemingly pointless story. However, the social undercurrent can't be ignored. First of all, the narrator is an educated Easterner who came to the West to inquire about his friend's friend. He stumbles upon a Westerner, an uneducated guy who is a common worker. A clash of cultures happens, embodied in language differences between two interlocutors: Simon Wheeler talks in dialect, whereas the narrator has an elaborate and flamboyant style.

Eventually, Wheeler tricks the narrator into listening to his trivial story about the gambler Jim Smiley. The story is pointless - just like the narrator's visit itself. The two men, who epitomize two social classes, just can't get along. The winner of the conversation is Wheeler, who got to tell his story and kill some time. His simplicity, wit and common sense are something that the refined narrator doesn't have.

The closing of a presentation should end with either a recap of what your presentation discussed or with a simple conclusion to put an end to your thoughts. These two options would help your presentation flow together fluently. More than likely, you will get an A if you formed the presentation in an organized manner and put correct and accurate information into the body of your presentation.

Hopefully this helps :)

Read the excerpts from " The Royal House of Thebes " and " The Story of a Warrior Queen ."
Kipish [7]

The excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen"  are similar because both express the theme that women are as capable as men.

Both stories present the idea that <u>women are as fearless and determined as men</u>.<u> Antigone and Boadicea are two female characters that are convinced of what they want and they know how to reach it</u>. Furthermore, they are both tragic heroines. In "The Royal House of Thebes", Antigone sacrifices her own life by disobeying Creon and burying Polyneices, her brother. Moreover, in "The Story of a Warrior Queen", Boadicea, the great queen, decides to poison herself before being attacked by her biggest enemies: the Romans.
