(The Dear Departed)


OR


In what sense can we call Michael a true gentleman?


(Virtually True)


Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Jordan’s greed for money is more important than their love for their father. This is because when Slater came to know that his father was almost dead, then instead of spending time with his father, they were more concerned about his valuables. They didn’t bother to call the doctor and instead took his father’s bureau and other materialistic things to the living room. They did so because they do not want to share his father belonging’s to his sister. They started making arrangement for his funeral rites instead of spending time with his father. Thus, this all proved that they were more concerned about the possessions of her father and not his love.

Michael was indeed a true gentleman. He was a very kind-hearted guy who loved adventure, fights, war, pursuits, and other violent games. He was more mature than his age and unlike other children, he was a computer freak. He was moved by the psycho – driven games and that made him forget the reality. Once he received an email from one of the characters for help. He always plays the game untill the end and saves people without knowing them. He never looked for his personal benefits. He always plays all the game with enthusiasm and plays till the end.
