“After you take a shower, go to sleep immediately so you can be energetic tomorrow?”

Ferdinand answers in an impatient and arrogant way: “Yeah, Yeah, I know!”

Justin, his servant, takes off his clothes and hangs them on the shelf gently.

“Why he always talks to me like that, sounds like I am a little kid…” Ferdinand complains. “I can be a perfect man and live in the world just like I did here.” His fondles his beautiful blonde hair in the mirror.

“I am the prince of Angeles.” Respond by Ferdinand with his royal accent. A prince, that’s why he has so much money, “But where are your guards and your fleet.” Neo is still not believed. Neo looks Ferdinand up and down. Finally, the beautiful, royal clothes and tidy blonde hair convince Neo. Neo sent all his customers out. He knows they will never buy anything. He puts all his attention and hope on Ferdinand, and he turns his smile back. “My dear respectful prince, you want to pay the money now?” Ferdinand suddenly realizes that he does not have any money on him, “later.” “Absolutely, you can sign this paper, and you can choose when you want to pay, you sure you don’t have money now?” “I am the prince of Angeles, my servant Justin will pay you very soon, are you not trusting me?” Ferdinand uses the familiar tone as he uses in the castle. “It is fine, it’s fine, can you just sign this paper, and I will close the shop for you for a few days.” Ferdinand signs the paper without looking and he walks out of the shop quickly.

“Who are you?” Ferdinand asks. “You don’t remember me, aoo, you little bastard.” (Onomatopoeia) Neo’s body is quicker than the month. He punches Ferdinand. Alesa closes her eyes. “You are not the prince, there is not even a place called Angeles, and the guy you call Justin does not come neither,” Neo says, “I close my shop for days and I lose many customers.” Ferdinand’s head is empty. He does not know what to do, and his face turns red. “Have nothing to say now, ah, you liar, how will you be able to pay me back.” Ferdinand steps back a little bit, sweat falls from his forehead. “He gets a pretty girlfriend.” One of the strong men says. “No one can touch her.” But the sound comes behind him cold his heart. “So you are not a prince,” Alesa says. And she tells to the men, “Hei, I don’t know him, it is none of my business.” It is like being hit by the lightning. Alesa grabs all the things Ferdinand buys for her, and runs away immediately. “Seems like everyone has abandoned him.” All the men start to laugh at Ferdinand. Ferdinand runs to them, tries to run away, but is caught by Neo. “Leave me alone!” Neo is still smiling, but it is a ferocious smile. (Climax)

Ferdinand is beaten and his clothes are robbed away. He leans on a wall, starts to cry. The cold snow falls on his body. The freezing feeling sticks to his bones. Coldness, fearless, and sadness fall into his heart. He hates snow now. “I want

    As an agent of either utter destruction or fruitful prosperity, ambivalence serves as the catalyst to separate the before and after of an individual's life. At the end of the line, that path that was once shrouded in confusion becomes clear, and the outcome of each potential choice can be seen. In Sinclair Ross’ “The Painted Door”, the treacherous setting embodies an edge of escalating ambivalence in Ann’s character as she is awakened to the reality of her routine life, ultimately causing her to spiral into the rising storm of her suffocating loneliness and reckless desperation.

    What I got from reading the two essays was that in both essays there was a lot of emotion. In "Always Go to the Funeral" Deirdre didn’t have the motivation to attend the funeral which is common for most kids and teenagers. Later when she was old enough to realize why her father told her to go is that to pay respect and show responsibility. I got from this essay is that always listen to your parents because they know what’s best for you. In "My Grandmother's Dicho" Winter had to go through some hard times but then thought about the saying her grandmother had told her which gave her strength.…
