The Umbrella Man

The story of this greedy trickster is appealing to me. This is because these type of things happen all the time in real life events. Some people will do anything to make money no matter how much lying, stealing, and caniving they have to do. These type of people are displayed as self-fish because they are stealing from people of their own community. It is never okay to trick someone into giving you money to fulfill your unjust needs whether they have to do with alcoholic substances or drugs. Although I found this story interesting , I believe it should have been more detailed leading up to when the two women found out his addiction. The mother and the daughter were very active characters. They both had the same seldom attitude and their personas both played a good role off of one another's. The mother was extremely correct when she said you cannot trust just anyone who walks up and talks to you. She said "Never rush things, always take your time when summing someone up." This is true , it is the same as saying you can't judge a book by its cover. I think it is ironic that a man with a classy persona like himself would turn out to be a caniving liar that wanted to take advantage of everyone he could to satisfy his alcoholic "needs". I believe the alcohol that he intakes is symbolic of what fuels him to take advantage of kind people, it may even be that he can't control these actions.
