Then Birling states that he…

Both put and call “American” options become more valuable (or, at least, do not decrease in value) as the time to expiration increases.

By switching between the two genres, the author has…

“Of Mice and Men” and “An Inspector Calls” Society is not perfect, it never was. So it is not in any way surprising that many people would try to rectify these mistakes, and improve their society.
