Literal Comprehension:
The writer’s friend’s friend was unfortunate to earn the profit in business. One day, he saw water colored painting in a curio shop of Cathedral city. He thought it was painted by Turner and bought it in 10 shillings. He sold it in 50 pounds and made a large amount of profit first time in his life. He thought to send half of the profit to the dealer. He wrote a note but it was evening and he had no stamp. He slept, woke up at 3:30 am and rethought to send only 10 pounds as the painting was recognized by him. Again he thought to send only 5 pounds because the dealer would be sad expecting the same type of letter. As he was dressing, he thought to send one pound as the goddess of money would be angry with him. That day he went to the club, had launched and lost all of his money in a bridge game. He thought that buying and selling are a matter of customer and dealer. Dealer asks as much as he can and the customer is under no obligation to share profit.
Interpretation:
The story is about the changing state of human mind and policy of the business. It gives us a true picture of present commercial practice. The felling love, sympathy, truth, and generosity have gone extinct in this materialistic world. Business is a straightforward matter where there is buying, selling, bargaining, and profit. Dealers want to take as much as they can and the customer is under no obligation. People became money minded and humanism did not get a place. Besides the bargaining of goods, there is bargaining of the soul in the essay. He first becomes generous and thinks to provide half profit to the dealer but later he decides one pound to give the dealer. Here he shows how the mind degenerates in modern society.
Critical Thinking:
This essay has shown the straight policy of business and the changing nature of the human mind. It is interesting and realistic which attack modern money minded people. But we can raise some questions on the text. Does anyone sell in cheap price buying in dearest market? Can anybody find Turners painting in 10 shillings? Can we find an ideal customer like the businessman? Would he post the letter if he had stamps? Except for these points, I like the text.
Assimilation:
This essay has provided me with an opportunity to understanding people in the modern world. It has exposed the reality of saying one thing and doing another thing. We look so curious and like to show our generosity and humanity but we lose our earlier desire and turn into the same position. Teaching moral is easier than practicing moral. Thus, this essay teaches us about modern people, changing the state of their mind, lack of rationality and money mindedness.
