If the bold sentence is in fact As he tells the story he never smiles, and he never frowns",then it is most likely the human foible due to it being an interesting characteristic. We can also determine this answer through process of elimination if we know the meaning of hyperbole, and "funny name". 

Hyperbole is an exaggeration and is not normally meant to be serious, and in the case of your summary, I believe this line is meant to be taken serious. This doesn't seem to be a funny name reference, so your only option is human foible.

Both “Silky” Bob in “After Twenty Years” and Tessie in “The Lottery” face threats to their lives or freedom. Compare and contras
Radda [10]

  Bob and Tessie's personas may me considered very different, as Bob seems a person that is very proud of his success and Tessie looks like a simple person, acting unpretentious. Their behavior can be based and figured out by the following paragraphs:

  • In "After Twenty Years"

<em>   “You were successful in the West, weren’t you?” asked the cop.</em>

<em>   “I surely was! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. He was a slow </em>

<em>mover. I’ve had to fight for my success. In New York a man doesn’t </em>

<em>change much. In the West you learn how to fight for what you get.”</em>

  • In "The Lottery"

 "<em>Clean forgot what day it was," she </em>(Tessie) <em>said to Mrs. Delacroix, who stood next to her, and  they both laughed softly. </em>

<em>  "Thought my old man was out back stacking wood," Mrs. Hutchinson went on.   "and then I looked out the window and the kids was gone, and then I remembered it was the twenty-seventh  and came a-running." She dried her hands on her apron, and Mrs. Delacroix said, "You're in time,  though. They're still talking away up there.</em>"

  The difference of Bob and Tessie's situation was that Bob had his freedom threatened, as he was arrested for committing a  crime, but instead of being immediately arrested, he has the opportunity to meet his friend (even if by this time he doesn't know the first police man is his friend) and his friend has mercy on him, calling other man to do the arrest ; Tessie, on the other hand, has been the "winner" of a "death lottery" in which with no crimes or bad attitudes she has been chosen out of luck to a death sentence. Immediately, the city, which at first seem so friendly, has no mercy at all and even her family engage on the stoning.

  Bob feels <u>surprised</u>, as he discovers that his old friend does not look the same person he made the appointment 20 years before; That can be inferred  in these excerpt of the final paragraphs:

<em>   "  </em>The man of the West <u>stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away</u><em>. </em>

<em>    "You're not Jimmy Wells!", </em>he said, "<em>Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man's nose!" "</em>

   As for Tessie, the feeling she has is the feeling of being<u> wronged</u>, as if the whole lottery has been <u>unjust</u> and she is not supposed to be the one who's the "winner". This feeling starts when her family has been drawn  from the black box of papers:

  <em>"People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at  the paper in his hand. Suddenly. Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers. "You didn't give him time  enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"</em> "

  And she continuously feels the situation more unfair as she draws the paper with the black spot and finally prepares herself for the popular stoning.

 

  I hope you may be able to fill in your chart with these informations!

Use what you have learned about analyzing literary texts to write an analysis of the stories The Invisible Red String and Messag
g100num [7]

Answer:

The Invisible Red Strin  

 

Ju-Lin is a young Chinese girl living in poverty with her family. When her family must sell her to make ends meet, a traditional Chinese matchmaker buys her to serve as her apprentice. When she got to the house, she was told “First when I am home, you must help me with the cooking and cleaning around the house. When I am traveling, you must accompany me to help carry mt things. In return, you shall have enough to eat and have a small allowance each month. Is that understood.” And after a bit of time Moi-Yun had some clients later that day Ju-Lin ask Moi-Yun “What is the secret of your amazing success, mistress?” Moi-Yun replied with “There is no magic to this Ju-Lin helping people make the right choice in a partner is my passion in life. As the story goes, even at birth, that old matchmaker, God in heaven, ties an invisible red string around the foot of a boy and a girl destined to spend their lives together as husband and wife. No matter the distance or the circumstances, nothing can break this string.” A cople of weeks passed by and a matron came and knocked on the door when Ju-Lin opened the door there was a disgruntled matron. He came inside he talked to Moi-Yun saying “my son is stubborn, and he will not take any women in marring. None of the women in the five naborhoods do not meet his requirements he wants a woman with long peasant feet, and I need someone to tell his there is no women to meet his requirements. So, Ju-Lin the next day went off on her journey to talk to the boy. When she made it, the son just got back from a walk. The matron said "my son, I told you your expectations were unreasonable! Now you will hat to listen to the words of the most respected moi-yun of all five provinces. She couldn’t come in person, but you will hear from her assistant. You should pay close attention, for I have gone through a lot of trouble to moment, but I shall be back shortly.” And she gave him advice and change his lower his expectations.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this story is trying to say never have to high requirements or you will not get what you want. I think that the way the story updates the character type or story pattern means you must change.  

 

 

Message In A Bottle  

 

 

Christy Dooley is on a famine ship headed to America from Ireland. Just before the St. John reaches Massachusetts, though, it wrecks. He wants to make sure his mother knows what happened to him, so he puts a message and his St. Christopher medal in a bottle and tosses it overboard.  

 

 

I think this story is trying to say never be forgotten. I think that the way the story updates the character type or story pattern means he loves his mother a lot .

A major difference between the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and its film version relates to the story's setting. In the original story, we see Holmes and Watson meeting with Helen Stoner in their shared 221B Baker Street apartment. In the film, Holmes works in a modern office equipped with the latest technology. However, the setting of the crime scene is the same in the original story and in the film. It takes place at Stoke Moran. The Adventure of the Speckled Band tells one of the cases of the detective Sherlock Holmes, the investigation of a mysterious death and the suspicioun that someone else might die under the same circumstances. Both the book and the adaptation follow the plot, diverging mostly on the resources Holmes has at his disposal, like a mordern office with secretaries in the adaptation and only a simple apartment in the book.
