Two Fishermen

Two Fishermen There are two men, which have the great difference. Michael, a town repeater who is tall and eager. The other is Smith, a very small fellow who has a appalling occupation called hangman. In the story ‚ ¡Ã‚‚ °two fishermen‚ ¡ by Morley Callaghan, the author sets these two people on one boat at the beginning; I think his intent is to make a opportunity to let these two strangers having a conversation in order to give us a initial impression about the main characters.Smith, in many ways attracts our attention. Although he is a mild, harmless looking little guy, he performs a very difficult job (hanging) without shame. ‚ ¡Ã‚‚ °Somebody‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s got to do my job. There‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ®s got to be a hangman‚ ¡ ‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ° the job hasn‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯t been so disagreeable‚ ¡. From the quotation we see that Smith loves his job no matter how other people say about it. Michael, however, he doesn‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯t appreciate his own jo b very much even it‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s a nice one.Ethel Smith (left) and Fanny Rosenfeld (second fro...‚ ¡Ã‚‚ °But it‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s nothing like a first-class city paper and I don‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯t expect to be working on it long. I want to get a reporter‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s job on a city paper.‚ ¡ Michael, on the other hand is kind of discrimination against Smith‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s job. ‚ ¡Ã‚‚ °If you took another job, you and your wife could probably go fishing together.‚ ¡ ‚ ¡Ã‚‚ °I just meant that if it was such disagreeable work, Smitty.‚ ¡ As we see here, Michael‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s attitude toward to Smitty‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯s job could relate to our real life. In our society, there are many difficult jobs. People don‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯t like them because they are dirty or dangerous, but if we don‚ ¡Ã‚‚ ¯t go to do, then who will do them for us? As a victim, Smith in the end is almost killed by the angry crowd. ‚  ¡Ã‚‚ °One small stone hit him on the head.
