RLA SET – 1

Dish Night
Michael Martone
Every Wednesday was Dish Night at the Wells Theatre. And it worked because she was there,
week in and week out. She sat through the movie to get her white bone china. A saucer. A cup.
The ushers stood on chairs by the doors and reached into the big wooden crates. There was
straw all over the floor of the lobby and bals of newspaper from strange cities. I knew she was
the girl for me. I'd walk her home. She'd hug the dish to her chest. The street lights would be on
and the moon behind the trees. She'd talk about collecting enough pieces for our family of
eight. "Oh, it's everyday and I know it," she'd say, holding it at arm's length.
"They're so modern and simple and something we'll have a long time after we forget about the
movies."
I forget just what happened then. She heard about Pearl Harbor at a Sunday matinee. They
stopped the movie, and a man came out on stage. The blue stage lights flooded the gold
curtain. It was dark in there, but outside it was bright and cold. They didn't finish the show.
Business would pick up then, and the Wells Theatre wouldn't need a Dish Night to bring the
people in. The one we had gone to the week before was the last one ever and we hadn't known
it. The gravy boat looked like a slipper. I went to the war, to Europe where she'd write to me on
lined school paper and never failed to mention we were a few pieces shy of the full set.
This would be the movie of my life, this walking home under the moon from a movie with a girl
holding a dinner plate under her arm like a book. I believed this is what I was fighting for.
Everywhere in Europe I saw broken pieces of crockery. In the farmhouses, the cafes. Along the
roads were drifts of smashed china. On a beach, in the sand where I was crawling, I found a bit
of it the sea washed in, all smooth with blue veins of a pattern.
I came home and washed the dishes every night, and she stacked them away, bowls nesting on
bowls as
if we were moving the next day.
The green field is covered with these tables. The sky is huge and spread with clouds. The pickup
trucks and wagons are backed in close to each table so that people can sit on the lowered
tailgates. On the tables are thousands of dishes. She walks ahead of me. Picks up a cup then
sets it down again. A plate. She runs her finger around a rim. The green field rises slightly as we
walk, all the places set at the tables. She hopes she will find someone else who saw the movies
she saw on Dish Night. The theater was filled with people. I was there. We do this every Sunday
after church.

Unpaid Internships: The Exploitation of Young Working Professionals Chances are if you are
working in a creative field, such as fashion, film, music or journalism, you are now expected to
work for free to start your career. I am sure a lot of us student journalists have undertaken
aninternship, and the vast majority of these are unpaid. Is this just a necessary step to further
our careers? Or a way for media companies to get around actually paying us for doing the same
work as their staff reporters? Unpaid internships are inherently unfair, and immoral.
Firstly, they are ageist. No adult would tolerate working for free, but when it comes to younger
people starting out, it is drummed into us that internships are necessary to build up contacts
and experience. This "social capital" is deemed more valuable than actual capital. But can
contacts pay the bills? By not paying interns, these media giants are immediately devaluing any
work that ir interns do. If an article is good enough to be published, it should be paid for. The
cultur paying for the arts is seeping into society in general. If the newspapers and magazines ar
willing to pay their own writers, why should the general public pay to read. what these writers
have produced? Unpaid internships are also potentially excluding people based on their
geographical location. The vast majority of a country's major newspapers are based in cities. If
you cannot live at home with your parents in these cities while you work for free, you will miss
out on these job opportunities. If you are "lucky" enough to be able to commute, you still have
to fork out for a car, bus or train. Commuting isn't usually regarded as a desirable lifestyle,
spending an hour or more on the bus everyday cuts into your free time. People who aren't able
to commute simply can't take on an unpaid internship.
Then when you consider young people who are interested in emigrating, it becomes an
impossibility for them to get any experience. How can you afford to move countries if the paid
employment opportunities are scarce? It's also clear to me that these unpaid internships are
classist. If your parents have a lot of money, they can fork out for your rent and living expenses,
meaning you could pay your parents back once you secure a well paid gig. But if your parents
can't afford to keep you going in the first place, chances are you will never get the experience
to get a paid job. It is a vicious cycle.
Undoubtedly, there are financial problems in the media sector. Revenue for newspapers and
online media are falling Even Buzzfeed have had to lay off staff to cut costs. Then, they replace
the laid-off staff with an endless stream of enthusiastic interns, willing to go above and beyond
to get their name out there. This is a very cost- effective business plan but is it morally dubious?
You wouldn't expect an actuary to work for free, or an office admin. Why should a writer? Do
we really value the arts so little that we think it shouldn't pay? And these workers should be
forced to have a part-time job on the side just to make ends meet? The media sector isn't the
only one using interns for free labour.
Charities and human rights organisations are notorious for hiring unpaid interns. Many
musicians hired to play at venues and gigs never get paid with money, but rather they get paid
in
*exposure." My mistake - I didn't realise exposure could pay the rent. I think unpaid internships
are part of a wider trend of working rights being eroded. A major problem the modern worker
faces is that we can't switch off from work. We are expected to answer work emails at all time
to "prove" our dedication to the job, and this is especially the case with interns. So, interns are
working harder for no pay. Used interns are starting to fight back. Amalia lligner recently
revealed in the Guardian that she is suing Monocle for not paying her properly during her
internship. She earned a measly £30 an day and was never paid for her bylines.

The Hound of Baskerville
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson are hanging around the apartment that they share
(as platonic bros) when Doctor James Mortimer appears to consult Holmes about a very strange
matter that occurred in his town of Dartmoor. While Baskerville Hall may be fictional,
Dartmoor-with its beautiful, barren, boggy, hilly countryside is definitely a real place.
Apparently, in the 1640s, a bad guy named Hugo Baskerville kidnapped a young woman and
stuck her in his castle. When she escaped, he rode out after her. And when his friends went to
find Hugo to stop him, they discovered two dead bodies. The girl had died of exhaustion and
fear at being ridden down by a creepy madman on the moors (wetlands) at night. But Hugo
Baskerville suffered a worse fate: his drinking buddies found him getting his throat torn out by a
giant black dog from hell.
Supposedly, this demon hound haunts the Baskerville family to this day.
The latest Baskerville, Sir Charles, has also just died under Mysterious Circumstances. Sir
Charles was known to be terrified of the Hound, and he was found lying dead just beyond his
own driveway with an expression of horror on his face. Doctor Mortimer strongly suspects that
the ghost dog - the Hound had something to do with it.
Doctor Mortimer doesn't want Holmes to investigate; he just wants to know if he should tell
this to Sir Henry Baskerville, the new heir. He doesn't want to frighten the guy, but he doesn't
want Sir Henry to become Devil Dog Chow, either. Holmes agrees to meet Sir Charles.
When Sir Henry arrives at Holmes apartment with Doctor Mortimer, he has his own news.
Someone has sent him a warning telling him to 'keep away from the moor' (4.11). Someone
took one of his new brown boots and later on, one of his old black boots went missing. Holmes
and Watson also discover a strange-looking man with a big beard following Sir Henry
Holmes sends Sir Henry back to Baskervillo Hall and asks Watson to go along with him to
investigate. Once they arrive, they find the place to be huge, rich, old, and gloomy.
Here are just a couple of reasons why no one in their right mind would want to be at Baskerville
Hall: first, Sir Henry's butler Barrymore plans to quit his job and leave Sir Henry on his own.
Barrymore's a prime suspect for Sir Charles' murder, since he and his wife benefited from Sir
Charles' will; he also has a large beard. If that's not bad enough, there's news that a homicidal
maniac named Selden has escaped from the nearby prison (a real prison. Between the crazed
murderer and the butler, Sir Henry isn't exactly overjoyed with his new digs.
When Watson's out for a stroll, a man carrying a butterfly net (yeah, we know-weird)
introduces himself as Stapleton, a neighbor of Sir Henry. He seems to know a lot about the
Hound and Sir Charles fear of it. He's also aware of Watson's relationship with Holmes.
When Stapleton runs off to catch a butterfly, a woman suddenly approaches Watson, whom
she mistakes for Sir Henry, and warns him to go back to London right away. When Stapleton
returns, she immediately changes the subject. Turns out she's Stapleton's sister Beryl. When
she figures out that Watson is not Sir Henry Baskerville she refuses to tell Watson why it's so
important for Sir Henry to leave Baskerville Hall. Not looking good for Sir Henry.
Watson reports to Holmes that Sir Henry seems to be falling for Beryl Stapleton, which is
upsetting Stapleton for some reason. And something else: at about 2:00AM, Watson saw
Barrymore looking out at the moors and holding a candle up to the window. That guy is
obviously hiding something. Could he be our murderer? (Cue the creepy organ music.)
A couple of nights later, Watson and Sir Henry find the butler standing at the same window
with his candle. And there, out on the moors, they spot - another candle! Yep, the candle is
some kind of signal. Sir Henry fires Barrymore on the spot for plotting against him, but
Barrymore's wife appears and tells all. The candle out on the moor belongs to her brother,
Selden, the psychotic murderer. They've been feeding him when he signals, because she can't
bear to let him starve, no matter what awful things he's done. Watson and Barrymore try to
track Selden down but he manages to escape. But Watson spots yet another unknown guy on
the moors.
Barrymore tells Watson he knows why Sir Charles was in his driveway so late at night, despite
his fear of the moors and the Hound. He got a letter signed 'LL.' from a woman asking to meet
him at that precise spot. Doctor Mortimer tells Watson there's a woman named Laura Lyons
living nearby in Coombe Tracy. She's the disowned daughter of Mr.
Frankland. Watson visits Laura Lyons, and while she finally admits to writing the note, she
swears she never went to meet Sir Charles that fateful night.
But wait, there's more! Mr. Frankland tells Watson he's seen a boy bringing food to one of the
Stone Age huts on the moors. He believes it's Selden, the murderer. But Watson guesses it's his
mysterious man from the night before. Watson goes to the hut and lies in wait, only to find the
man is Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes apologizes to Watson for keeping him in the dark. His observations depended on
secrecy, and feared that Watson couldn't help but give away Holmes' location. Holmes has
discovered that Laura Lyons has been seeing Stapleton, and that she hopes to marry him.
But she can't: the woman who Stapleton's living with as his sister? She's actually his wife.
(Ick. Suddenly, Holmes and Watson hear a horrible scream and rush out to find a corpse with a
crushed skull at the bottom of a cliff. They think its Sir Henry Baskerville, but in fact, it's Selden
dressed in Sir Henry's clothing. Stapleton comes by and appears visibly shaken to see a dead
body that's not Sir Henry. (More organ music.)
To prove that Stapleton is connected to the murders, Holmes lays a trap. He claims that he and
Watson are going back to London but insists that Sir Henry go to Stapleton's house for dinner
that night. Holmes and Watson plan to ambush Stapleton when he tries to kill Sir Henry.
Holmes and Watson visit Laura Lyons again. When she hears that Stapleton has a wife, she tells
Holmes everything: that Stapleton dictated the letter she sent to Sir Charles, that he then
insisted that she not keep the appointment, and that he bullied her into keeping silent about Sir
Charles death. They return to Stapleton's house to set up their trap.
As Sir Henry leaves the house, a giant black dog with flames jumping from its mouth and eyes
gallops after him. The dog manages to bring down Sir Henry and to bite his throat.
Holmes finally kills the dog, and they find Sir Henry freaked out but mostly okay considering
he's just been mauled by Cujo's great-great-great-great-grandfather.
The dead dog's fur had been coated in phosphorus. It was the terrifying sight of the glowing dog
that frightened Sir Charles into a heart attack and drove Selden off the cliff to his death. Inside
the house, they find Beryl Stapleton tied up and gagged. She leads them to his hiding place in a
dangerous bog, but he's not there. They find Sir Henry's black boot sunk in the bog -Stapleton
has been using it to train the Hound to follow Sir Henry's scent.
Watson suspects that Stapleton lost his footing in the bog and wound up being sucked down,
never to be seen again.
Back in London, Holmes ties up the loose ends for Watson: Stapleton was actually the long-lost
son of Rodger Baskerville, Sir Charles' brother. Old Rodger had moved to South America many
years before and died there. Young Rodger-a.k.a. Stapleton- moved to England with his wife
and learned that he was in line to inherit the Baskerville fortune if he could only get rid of Sirs
Charles and Henry. He used the legend of the Hound to try to do just that.
So that's it - Stapleton is lying at the bottom of the bog and Holmes and Watson are back in
London.

 Slamon
Few animals have been as central to the Pacific human experience as salmon. Their annual migrations
are a miracle of nature. They feed us and their presence tells us that our rivers are still healthy From
grizzly bears to orca whales, at least 137 different species depend on the marine-rich nutrients that wild
salmon provide. The last intact salmon watersheds around the North Pacific are composed of free-
flowing rivers and dense forests, which provide clean drinking water and absorb carbon to slow climate
change.

Pacific salmon fuel a $3 billion industry, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and local economies and
communities around the Pacific Rim. Millions of people around the Pacific rely on salmon as a healthy
and reliable source of protein. Native people have always seen the salmon as the life-sustaining
centerpiece of their culture, dating back millennia.

In short, salmon are the key to protecting a way of life rooted in the North Pacific environment: protect
salmon and you protect forests, food, water, communities, and economies. But our work over the last
two decades has shown that only an aggressive, proactive approach on the strongest remaining salmon
rivers - salmon strongholds - can halt the decline of these iconic species and all the benefits we derive
from them. Salmon and freshwater ecosystems are inextricably linked by feedbacks between salmon
runs, food webs, and riparian forests. Salmon runs function as enormous pumps that push vast amounts
of marine nutrients from the ocean to the headwaters of otherwise low productivity rivers.

For example, sockeye salmon runs in southwest Alaska contribute up to 170 tons of phosphorous per
year to Lake Iliamna. These nutrients are incorporated into food webs in rivers and surrounding

landscapes by a host of over 50 species of mammals, birds, and fis that forage on salmon eggs, juveniles,
and adults in freshwater.

Predators, such as brown bears, disperse these marine nutrients into surrounding forests, enhancing the
growth of stream-side trees that shade and protect stream banks from excessive erosion. In
southeastern Alaska, spawning salmon contribute up to 25% of the nitrogen in the foliage of trees,
resulting in tree growth rates nearly three-times higher than in areas without salmon spawning. As they
grow and age, these trees eventually return the favor for salmon by falling into salmon streams and
forming log jams that provide shelter for juvenile salmon and protect the gravels that adults use for
spawning.

Abundant salmon returns feed the rivers and shape the habitats that support the next generation of
wild fish. Generally, the more pristine, diverse, and productive the watershed, the healthier the salmon
stocks. Salmon are the center of economies and cultures Coastal human communities depend on salmon
for both protein and income. The world's largest sockeye salmon run in Alaska's Bristol Bay brings in
$500 million each year for commercial ,recreational, and subsistence fishermen. In southeast Alaska,
nearly 48 million wild salmon are harvested each year, with a combined economic value of nearly $1
billion annually. In Kamchatka, Russia,

80% of the economy is dependent on salmon and other seafood.

Gertrude Stein
One evening in the winter, some years ago, my brother came to my rooms in the city of Chicago bringing
with him a book by Gertrude Stein. The book was called Tender Buttons and, just at that time, there was
a good deal of fuss and fun being made over it in American newspapers. I had already read a book of
Miss Stein's called Three Lives And had thought it contained some of the best writing ever done by an
American. I was curious about this new book.

My brother had been at some sort of a gathering of literary people on the evening before and someone
had read aloud from Miss Stein's new book. The party had been a success. After a few lines the reader
stopped and was greeted by loud shouts of laughter. It was generally agreed that the author had done a
thing we Americans call 'putting something across" the meaning being that she had, by a strange
freakish performance, managed to attract attention to herself, get herself discussed in the newspapers,
become for a time a figure in our hurried, harried lives. My brother, as it turned out, had not been
satisfied with the explanation of Miss Stein's work then current in America, and so he bought Tender
Buttons and brought it to me, and we sat for a time reading the strange sentences.

It gives words an oddly new intimate flavor and at the same time makes familiar words serm

almost like strangers, doesn't it,' he said. What my brother did, you see, was to set my mind going on
the book, and then, leaving it on the table, he went away. And now, after these years, and having sat
with Miss Stein by her own fire in the rue de Fleurus in Paris I am asked to write something by way of an
introduction to a new book she is about to issue
As there is in America an impression of Miss Stein's personality, not at all true and rather foolishly
romantic, I would like first of all to brush that aside. I had myself heard stories of a long dark room with
a languid woman lying on a couch,smoking cigarettes, sipping absinthes perhaps and looking out upon
the world with tired, disdainful eyes. Now and then she rolled her head slowly to one side and uttered a
few words, taken down by a secretary who approached the couch with trembling eagerness to catch the
falling pearls. You will perhaps understand something of my own surprise and delight when, after having
been fed up on such tales and rather Tom Sawyer Ashley hoping they might be true, I was taken to her
to find instead of this languid impossibility a woman of striking vigor, a subtle and powerful mind, a
discrimination in the arts such as I have found in no other American born man or woman, and a
charmingly brilliant conversationalist.

"Surprise and delight did I say? Well, you see, my feeling is something like this. Since Miss Stein's work
was first brought to my attention I have been thinking of it as the most important pioneer work done in
the field of letters in my time. The loud guffaws of the general that must inevitably follow the bringing
forward of more of her work do not irritate me but I would like it if writers, and particularly young
writers, would come to understand a little what she is trying to do and what she is in my opinion doing.
My thought in the matter is something like this-that every artist working with words as his medium,
must at times be profoundly irritated by what seems the limitations of his medium. What things does he
not wish to create with words! There is the mind of the reader before him and he would like to create in
that reader's mind a whole new world of sensations, or rather one might better say he would like to call
back into life all of the dead and sleeping senses. There is a thing one might call the extension of the
province of his art'one wants to achieve. One works with words and one would like words that have a
taste on the lips, that have a perfume to the nostrils, rattling words one can throw into a box and shake,
making a sharp, jingling sound, words that.

when seen on the printed page, have a distinct arresting effect upon the eye, words that when they
jump out from under the pen one may feel with the fingers as one might caress the cheeks of his
beloved. And what I think is that these books of Gertrude Stein's do in a very real sense recreate life in
words. We writers are, you see, all in such a hurry. There are such grand things we must do. For one
thing the Great American Novel must be written and there is the American or English Stage that must be
uplifted by our very important contributions, to say nothing of the epic poems, sonnets to my ladys
eyes, and what not.

We are all busy getting these grand and important thoughts and emotions into the pages of printed
books. And in the meantime the little words, that are the soldiers with which we great generals must
make our conquests, are neglected. There is a city of English and American words and it has been a
neglected city. Strong broad shouldered words, that should be marching across open fields under the
blue sky, are clerking in little dusty dry goods stores, young virgin words are being allowed to consort
with whores, learned words have been put to the ditch digger's trade, O

Only yesterday saw a word that once all a whole nation arms serving in the mean

capacity of advertising laundry soap. For me the work of Gertrude Stein consists in a rebuilding, an
entire new recasting of life, in the city of words. Here is one artist who has been able to accept ridicule,
who has even forgone the privilege of writing the great American novel ,uplifting our English speaking
stage, and wearing the bays of the great poets, to go live among the little housekeeping words, the
swaggering bullying street-corner words, the honest working, money saving words, and all the other
forgotten and neglected citizens of the sacred and half forgotten city. Would it not be a lovely and
charmingly ironic gesture of the gods if, in the end, the work of this artist were to prove the most lasting
and important of all the word slingers of our generation.

Ans: He does not been satisfied with the explanation of Miss Stein's words.

2) How the brother response to counter argument?

Ans: Highlight the unique of quality.

11) Why brother decide to read "Tender Button"

Ans: He saw group of people laughing & smiling while they reading the books.
