Maybe to meet a girl or get a new higher paying job but for now, it’s just another day at work. At least until it all changes when three beautiful women enter the store wearing nothing but bathing suits which is the inciting incident for Sammy. He is so love-struck with awe that he mistakenly rings up a box of HiHo crackers twice and gets heck for it by the customer “I ring it up again and the customer starts giving me hell” (440). He goes on describing the women in very peculiar ways as chubby, tall, and the queen. He describes the queen as the leader of the pack, teaching the other women how to gain attraction and to look like you know what you are doing, as she is the one who made them go in with her in the first place. Other than the fact of being in bathing suits, Sammy is drawn to the queen not only cause of her beauty, but because of the fact that her top was just slouching against her chest with the straps resting down her arms. This overwhelmed Sammy and made her more than pretty “With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of her suit and the top of her head except her. I mean, it was more than pretty” (441). As Sammy is watching the three ladies, they notice him and his coworker staring at them but they don’t mind as they continue on shopping going…

After reading this story, the only sympathy I have for any of the characters would be for the Hanneh Hayyeh’s husband and son. Her husband works hard to pay for bills and to put food on the table. Sure Hanneh works as well but she should help out with the bills instead of saving money to paint her kitchen. Her husband stated, “But you had ought save it up for the bad times. What’ll you do when the cold weather starts in and the pushcart will not wheel itself out?” (Yezierska, 1920). That tells me that they are not in great shape financially. I also feel sympathy for her son, after fighting in the war he comes home to find his mother in the street with all of the family’s belongings. Instead of enjoying his 24 hours of leave he now has to deal with his homeless family and assist with them finding a new place to live and help them move. This story had no appeal for me whatsoever, I feel that Hayyeh ruined the story for me. Granted she was the main character, but she was the character I disliked the most. Granted she painted the kitchen as a tribute for her son, I can respect that. She didn’t have to show every Tom, Dick and Harry the work she did. Because of that she set herself and her family up for failure. Being a military man, I did find interest with her son serving in the war. Yezierska does talk about a relatable event, when people do home improvements or purchase a major item, they want to show it off. To have that sense of pride of ownership, a status quo. I believe that epiphany is demonstrated by Hanneh’s worshiping of her new painted kitchen. It is all she can talk about and wants to show everyone how glorious her kitchen looks now after she painted it. She wants something special for when her son comes home from the war. When in all reality, the son will probably be happy just to be home. He doesn’t need a fancy painted kitchen, just his family and friends to welcome him home (which he doesn’t seem to…

Overfishing is “the act of catching fish from the oceans faster than the the fish can reproduce and replace the caught fish numbers. Modern day technology and hi-tech equipments have made it easy to catch a larger number of fish in a shorter span of time and with minimal effort. The more and more fish are caught the lesser they are found in the waters. This is one of the main reasons that fishermen have to travel longer distances deeper into the sea to catch fish.”…
