A. He regrets that he has acted so stubbornly and has caused his grandsons to suffer.
His nose serves as a symbol of his own snobbery andpretentious attitude. Once he loses his nose, his entire demeanor towards the world changes. His nose acts as the source of his own pride, and is what allows him to look down on everyone else. The loss of his nose represents a loss of his identity.
Have you ever wondered what you'd take out of your house in a burning fire? I have. I've often thought about what I'd save if I could only choose a few items. I think first I'd take the children's pictures my parents have saved since our childhoods. Next, I'd grab my old cigar box. It's filled with all my friend's gifts and keepsakes, which are real treasures for me. My parent's letters would come with me too, and my dog's comfort items. I couldn't forget my CD collection and my sister's things. She's at college, so she'd be furious if I didn't remember to take her precious items. We'd need food and water, so we'd have the ability to survive, and blankets, first aid kit and flashlights would be helpful too. We'd put the dog in the car, of course, and the cat, and the four of us. We couldn't forget the Smiths, our neighbours, just in case the fire spread and hmmmm I think we'd need a moving van! Let's just hope we never need to evacuate.
