You can probably think to yourself while reading a title: «What a multiple
meaning is hid here!» Anyway, this is what crossed my mind at first. I really
recommend reading this story those people who are daft about both intricate
structure of compositions and simple style of the writing. So, the telling
represents the whole life of the two men who are as different as ice from fire.
Yes, when you start reading you`re engrossed by another world. «It`s over!»
-you sigh thinking up the continuation...
But,firstly,let me introduce the gist and plot of the story . The protagonist
is the narrator himself name of which isn`t mentioned. Eric Donnely is an
ordinary boy though with unordinary mindset. The fate leads them in the past
and in the present. Exactly such means as the flashback helps us to understand
the connection between these events. I myself divide the story into three
parts. The first one is about well-off Eric interviewed revealing his true
making of fortune. He gets started «It`s a standing joke.Cast-iro baths».
The second one is just the main component in which the narrator explains us how
really Eric has touted for business. Teeth. Only one tooth closed them to meet
each other. Don`t laugh at it. Donelly refered to people who count any extra
penny. And this is the very reason of his future status. One can`t have vivid
imagination to come up with it!
And the last part narrates about a merry end and nostalgia that is obvious in
the dialogue between two «old acquaintances» a dustman and a prosperous man.
Now guess who is who?
Do not wait for!Go ahead with your fortune!
