Explanation:
The story of "Lather and Nothing Else" by Hernando Tellez tells the story of a revolutionary who's a barber. His customer was Captain Torres, the officer who had just killed his fellow revolutionaries and whose work was to suppress the revolutionaries. The short story delves into his internal conflict on whether to kill the captain while he's having a shave or leave him alive.
The use of the given conjunctive adverbs in the sentences all helps how the story develops. The first conjunctive adverb "at first" presents the initial plot of the story. "However" presents the conflict in his mind, further supported by "in addition". "In the end" presents the decision of the barber and "certainly" allows the readers to know what he feels. All of these conjunctive adverbs allow the sentences to be connected in some way or the other, connecting the sentences and making a smooth transition from one sentence to the next.
