Ber [7]
For the answer to the question above, t<span>he quote is that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." I think he means that our lives are unavoidably connected with each other -- like a network of threads that can't really be untied/unknotted, and that we share a common destiny, whatever it may be. As much as some people may want to believe and live their lives as if they are completely alone and independent of other people -- or as part of one group that can remain isolated from other groups -- he is pointing out that our fates are necessarily intertwined to some extent. He seems to be using a fabric metaphor-- a network of threads becomes a single garment which represents our collective destiny as a society. </span>
<span>You can kind of see an example of this in the economic situation in the world today. It is hard to find a place in the world today where individuals are not experiencing some effect of this economy, which is tied to gas prices, which is tied to food and commodity prices, which is tied to people paying their bills, which is tied to foreclosures, which is tied to big banks asset portfolio, which is tied to credit availability, which is tied to investor confidence, etc.... Each of us is affected somewhere along the line.</span>

What is the purpose of lobbying?.
Rasek [7]

In order to sway a decision about a legislative or administrative action, lobbying is the practice of directly approaching or encouraging others to approach a member of the legislative, executive, or quasi-public bodies of government.

  • It encompasses any efforts made by people, organized organizations, or other lawmakers to sway lawmakers and authorities. "Lobbying" (also spelled "lobby") is a form of advocacy with the intention of influencing decisions made by the government by individuals or more commonly by lobby groups.
  • In a letter to a member of Congress, a Duke official requests that they abstain from voting on an amendment that would be presented during the bill's discussion. This is lobbying since it offers a viewpoint on a specific piece of legislation.

Thus this is the purpose of lobbying.

No the narrator probably wouldn’t have killed the old man. when the narrator snuck into the old mans room late at night the old man was always asleep so the narrator couldn’t see his eye which don’t bother the narrator. The narrator even said he loved the old man it was just his “evil eye” bothering him
