A Most Ambitious Experiment
Reading Log prenomen A Most Ambitious Experiment Author Mike Krath duration 5 pages Plot What is the compendious bosh ab appear? Message? vague messages? Its ab kayoed a man named Robert who travels 20 years in advance in clock to find knocked out(p) if he had invested his money well. He tells his wife hell be hindquarters in five minutes, unless instead she waits for 20 years for his return. When he comes back he finds out his wife had spent all the money. He travels back in prison term to make sure she cannot do that again, and eventually kills her in assure to score on his investment in the future and then return back five minutes before the murder.However, the future Robert kills the old Robert as concisely as he arrives. Describe the setting (where does the fabrication take outrank? ). Some short stories are written to highlight a supernumerary place (e. g. a city) or a special period of epoch (e. g. the time after the Second World War). The setting can in li ke manner involve a limited group of people (social class, students etc. ). The bill is set in the house of Robert and his wife. Robert goes down the basement every time he makes a time travel while his wife is postponement for him in their home, startling her when he shows up in their home 20 years later.Who is telling the story? (Who is the narrator? ) Perhaps the author has chosen a particular person to tell the story. Why? The main characters are Robert and his wife. The story is told from a third-person perspective and focus mostly on Roberts wife as shes is waiting for him, thinking he derelict her. She even contacts the authorities to search for him, but after a fewer months the shut down the case and she legally declares him dead in order to get hold of the money he put away in a fund. What is the authors message to the reader? Why was the story written? What is the overall meaning of the story? ) Has the story affected you? In what way(s)? I dont know if theres a real message behind this story. It describes much of the wifes feelings towards Robert, as she first is worried that something had happened to him, then thinking he had abandoned her. over the years she grows bitter and spiteful against him. Robert doesnt seem to realize he has made her wait for 20 years and becomes angry when he finds out she spent the money.Hes also shown to take very wide risks just to find out how the funds are working out He isnt sure of the outcome of the experiment and displays no incredulity when he kills his wife, thinking he will travel back in time before he could do that. However his plan backfires and hes killed by his future self. Rating give the short story a grade from 1-5 and motivate the grade, why was it good or braggart(a)? Id give this story a rating of three. It isnt badly written, but the story isnt very engaging.The author could slang described in more detail the feelings of the wife, or went more in-depth with Robert and the comment of his character and motivations. I like the time-travelling theme and the ending, which is somewhat humorous although tragic. phrase pick five words from one or several short stories and explain them in English. 1. scowl frown, bitter expression 2. muddled her legal opinion was muddled, i. e. she was confused 3. ambitious desire for success and achievment 4. grubby corruptive or filthy 5. inquire investigate, inspect
