    The innkeeper from the short passage “Scrambled Eggs” probably learns that cheating people for money to satisfy his gluttony is not the righteous thing to pursue. Instead of overcharging the farmer for the eggs, the innkeeper should’ve taken the amount of money the eggs were originally sold for. However, because of his terrible reasoning, the innkeeper was ordered to pay the farmer for the eggs. Had the innkeeper accepted the amount of money the eggs sold for originally, he would’ve profited. He most likely learned from this experience because no one wants to pay another for eating eggs.…

    Although many of Billy Collins’ short poems feature a first-person perspective, readers should not necessarily assume that the voice belongs to the poet himself. Indeed, at times, Collins speaks in the voice of a distinct character whose experiences and thoughts reveal a specific situation and crisis. In “The Waitress,” for example, the speaker’s observations indicate that he dines out often enough to recognize the behaviours common to restaurant servers, but the detail of his description suggests that observing the waitress on this occasion has become a personally meaningful activity. The speaker’s detailed observation of his apparently indifferent waitress gives way to a romantic fantasy that reveals him to be a lonely man contemplating…

    Theatrical performances of stories are usually very different and more dramatic than the original story because of many elements of the theatre production. This statement is no different for the theatre production of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The lighting, sets, and sound effects really give a scarier mood to the story.

The dark and scary lighting and then suddenly, with a creepy white glow, the Headless Horseman appeared.…
