You Are Old, Father William

You Are Old, Father William
Lewis Carroll

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,

Why, I do it again and again."

Question..
Villa for Sale leaves all the characters.
First make your answer and continue reading..

Answer

I'm in complete agreement with the statement that "Villa For Sale" leaves all the main characters happy at the end. The main intention of Juliette is to sell the villa earning a big profit of her own. The story reminds us that it had become very difficult to her to sell the villa and decided to cut lost as well. She was expecting a buyer from an agency. Even though Jeanne and Gaston, the buyers were very negative towards the villa, finally

Villa For Sale

Villa For Sale - Sacha Guitry

I think as a literature lover people all of you have red this drama and enjoyed it. If not first read VILLA FOR SALE.(click here to download Villa For Sale.pdf )

1. The drama Villa for Sale shows how Gaston outwits women in the drama. Comment

In my point of view - the whole drama itself is a satire (wrote with one intention, to ridicule a person in the form of a poem or a play). Here Gaston is a witty character and throughout the drama he does not agree with Jeanne thinking that this villa is impossible. His words are short but very thoughtful. He is extremely witty and clever in his replies.

"On the principle of people who like children

The poem depicts a boy arriving home from boarding school, to where he is informed of the tragic death of his younger brother, whose doomed fate indelibly marks the narrator, whom is the boy’s older brother. The boy recounts the experience of losing a loved one. The author has incorporated many elements and style in a subtle and distinct manner.

  The poem depicts a boy arriving home from school, “moaning in the college sick bay”

Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney

Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney

I sat all morning in the college sick bay

Counting bells knelling classes to a close.

At two o'clock our neighbors drove me home.

In the porch I met my father crying--

He had always taken funerals in his stride--

And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow.

The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram

When I came in, and I was embarrassed

By old men standing up to shake my hand

Anthem for Doomed Youth

Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918)

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

       - Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
       Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
       Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
       And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?[..]
