Description Of The Characters

In the story, "Mr. Know All" we have two characters: Mr Kelada and the narrator. One is completely the opposite of the other. Both are on the same board, sharing a cabin together, however, everybody has a different attitude to everything and sees things differently.

Mr Kelada is described as short, of sturdy build, clean shaven cheeks, dark skinned, has a fleshy, hooked nose, large and liquid eyes. His origin is British. He speaks fluently,
his gestures are exuberant, chatty, familiar, pushy, hearty, jovial, loquacious, argumentative and naive. He is patriotic. He is a good mixer, he is everywhere and always. However, her  doesn't know when he is unwanted. He takes over everything and runs everything. He knows everything better than anybody else, therefore, he is called "Mr. know all".

Contrary to what was described, the narrator is the opposite of Mr. Kelada.
The narrator is a person who is very impatient, a chauvinist, strict, conservative and indifferent. He is conceited - he likes nothing and he is very critical. The narrator is a prejudiced person, who judges people about their appearances, according to what they wear, and where they were born.

In conclusion, even though Mr. Kelada is too pushy and familiar, he has good intentions, and also he is a gentleman because he saved Mrs. Ramsay's marriage life, and it seems that Mr. Kelada is very thoughtful because he didn't think about himself, he thought of the other.

Money Stolen.

September 29, 2012
Dear diary,

Yesterday and today were the most tiring days in my life. I worked very hard,
 for a show for teenagers with cancer. Yesterday was terrible, however, then,
it began to be better.

I have sold many tickets for the show until 11 am yesterday. I kept the money in a
plastic bag and put it on the shelf. Then, I continued to sell tickets and when I came
back, I saw the money wasn't there. I started to panic, someone stole it from me.
My mom saw that I was crying. Therefore, she replaced the missing money.

After the money was stolen, I had to go to practise with my band for the show.
The day I have been expecting all year, came. Before I went on the stage,
I had butterflies in my stomach. Then, I went on the stage and started singing my songs.
All the crowd applauded. At the end of the day the thief was found, it was my brother,
who  gave the money to the band director.

At the end of the day, I was happy beacuse everything worked out.
I am also happy that I did a good deed for the teenagers, and also my environment:
my mother, my brother and the people who contributed the money for the show.
Excellent
(100)

Equality Of All



Eliot wrote a poem called "Count That Day Lost", that seems very extreme.
She says in that poem that if you do not do a good deed, even one, your day is wasted. I am going to explain how the information adds to my understanding of the poem.

First of all, Eloit used the male pen name because female writers were not appreciated at all.
Furthermore, the society at that time was divided into classes and nobody was equal to each other. Eliot wanted the society to improve, therefore, she wrote the poem,which tells what  a day well spent is for her and what a wasted day is for her. She mentions that the upper classes have to help the lower classes. 
We understand that between the lines, because we know what the
poet's background is.

In addition, it is also well known that Eliot was a critic that critisized the soicety at that time,
therefore, the poem is very extreme. Eliot wanted everybody to change, she wanted everybody to be equal , then she wrote that everyone have to do at least one good deed. Eliot criticized the upper classes who maybe enjoyed the luxuries, so they thought only about themselves and did not help the lower classes.

In conclusion, Eliot criticized the society to improve their behavior.
In addition, she wanted everybody to be equal,
beacuse the upper class did not help  the lower class.
