Descriptive composition

     In the story “The lemon orchard” there was a teacher whose name is not mentioned because it is a way of showing no importance to him, because this is a way of discriminating him. He suffered from a very bad episode in his life, discrimination.
    In the story this character was a black man that was not payed. He was wearing pijamas while he was kidnapped. He was silent, maybe because of fear. Also he was a very intelligent man because while he was kidnapped bad guys that were making fun of him and he smartly didn`t answer. This man was African, so his accent was too,this was one of the reasons the white men were discriminating him because the white men feels superiors.
   We think that he feels sorry about himself because of all the things that happened to him, the discrimination and the mistreat were caused when he asked to be payed. We could also say  that he was a kind man, because he likes teaching, being with kids, and he is not disrespectful: although white men mistreats him, he stayed in silence.
    “The coloured man did not reply. He was afraid, but his fear was mixed with a stubbornness which forbade him to answer them” This sentences perfectly summarise the feelings of the black man, telling he couldnt speak because he was afraid.
     If he were an animal, in our point of view he would be a dog because he obey the superior men. He also was scared when someone who had “power” on him speakes in a bad way towards him. Maybe if we saw it for the point of view of the visual we can compare the skin of a dog, that is black like the black men.

How to tell fortunes

At first, one of the basics things to show you tell fortunes is the clothing you have. You have to attract costumers firts on what they can see, in the story of "An Astrologer´s day" the man´s forehead was resplendent with sacred ash and vermilion, and his eyes sparkled with a sharp abnormal gleam. He also have a saffron-coloured turban around his head and inside a piece of cloth he have charts. Other tactics that the man on the story does to see like a man how tell fortunes, was that he asked the people on questions that are common on everyone, for examples problems in their jobs, in their couples, or family problems, that is obvious everyone would have. Other tactics that you can make, is to find out personal information about the person who are you going to pull the carts.
