Answer:

1. Because he receives newspapers from the widow who rented the basement to him. So he can save the money he receives and can be distracted by reading.

2. Because he wants to assume the personality of the teacher and becomes more and more curious about him.

3. The chef has established a regular routine, where he writes letters pretending to be the teacher, asking friends and students for help in money.

Explanation:

This question is about "The briefcase" by Rebecca makkai and shows how people in desperate situations can perform very incorrect acts that can even be harmful to themselves and others.

In this story the chef needs to leave the environment in which he lives, he needs to change who he is and assume another personality. As a result, he steals the briefcase of a teacher who was killed on the street by soldiers. He travels with that suitcase and pretends to be the teacher, assuming his life and personality, in addition to sending letters to the teacher's friends asking them to help him with money, which is what they do.

I definitely agree. Had Hamlet had acted promptly and and without hesitation as he had promised the ghost he would do, it is hard to imagine any of tragic outcomes later in the play would have occurred. His tendency to procrastinate is what led to the deaths of so many innocents such as Polonius, Laertes, Claudius, and his acquaintances from the University of Wittenberg: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. We can also say that he is also indirectly involved in the deaths of his love Ophelia (drowning) and of his mother Gertrude - mistakenly poised by Claudius. Ultimately, his procrastination may have led to his own tragic demise.
