I have recommended “Eating Alone” because it is tone and motif. The tone of the poem is nostalgic. The author mentions the earth now is “brown and old” while remembering before how he used to walk with his father.

Apple Anti-trust Case

Facts to the case
The publishers of the books were able to control the prices of e-books but with Amazon Company selling the books at a cheaper price, the publishers could not control or raise the prices at will.

The story is short, that was my initial response to the reading. In totality the story was composed of several paragraphs with two or three sentences. I thought that the shortness of the story will leave no room for complex plot, flashbacks, or even speculations.

The character, Louise was like an irony because she knows the right way for a woman to behave but still her behaviours reflect ...
