From the beginning to the end of "The bet" the lawyer A. comes to believe that material wealth and possessions are a curse rather than a blessing.
He has become a wise man through fifteen years of studying, but he even despise this, as well as other terrenal possessions, as he states in this excerpt: "It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe."
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: " It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honour of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license."

Explanation: It makes the most sense
Answer:
Yes, most of the people I'm friends with right now are very different of how I first them met. For an example, when I first met my best friend I thought she/he was extremely rude, ignorant, and selfish. In reality she/he is the most genuine, selfless, and kind hearted person I know. My best friends first impression of me was she thought I was a total nightmare, she saw me being "rude" to boy who was actually my cousin and we were playing around. Thats why we're currently best friends right now. A first impression is how a person could always see you, so try to always show someone new who you really are.
