"The Bet" is a short story that explores a moral theme regarding the value of human life. However, the story is constructed with an important ironic twist that brings the reader back to the original context of the bet (if the lawyer could endure solitary confinement for fifteen years), and presents an unexpected result. One can ultimately see that Anton Chekhov presents the readers with two different paths in the story. One of them is the banker, who refuses to face his own morality and the other is the lawyer (prisoner) who actually faces his own morality, but falls into despair because he is so disconnected from the outside world, even after gaining so much knowledge. These two characters may thrive on change, but they both alter their own human values in great ways.

I did this I don't think so I am right... I feel that she does not want this

It's your assignment and your choice. I'm just along for the ride.

How much do you have to write, and with what purpose? To explain? To expound upon? What?

I understand the paragraph but what should I start to write?

i understand the paragraph but what should i start to write?
Like I asked, what are you supposed to be proving or saying in what you write? What's the point of what you are to write?

One paragraph?

You just one paragraph

ya just one paragraph
Okay, you picked the first paragraph. What did you find out when you read it?

They talk about capital punishment and christan state...

they talk abt capital punishment and christan state...
Hmmm. What else?

they talk abt capital punishment and christan state...
Please write in proper English, not in texting.

What does capital punishment have to do with "Christian States"?

Death penalty ought to be replaced everywhere by imprisonment for life. "I don't agree with you," said their host the banker. "I have not tried either the death penalty or imprisonment for life, but if one may judge a priori, the death penalty is more moral and more humane than imprisonment for life... LOOK BEING HONEST I AM NOT SO GOOD IN THIS... THTS WHY I WANT YOUR HELP... IF I DO ANY MISTAKE THAN I AM SORRY

I want YOU to think!!

Tell me, what is capital punishment and what does it have to do with Christian States?

Death penalty and life imprisonment
.

All right. Let's back up the bus.

The story starts with an old banker remembering a party he gave 15 years ago. Tell me who was at the party and what was being argued about.

He gave the party one autumn evening,they talk about. Capital punishment.

In the guest there were many journalist and intellectual men

he gave the party one autumn evening,they talk abt. capital punishment.
Who is "they"?
What else did they talk about?

in the guest there were many journalist and intellectual men
So this was a smart group of men discussing very important topics.

They talk about. Death disapproved of death penalty.

Hey I don't understand this sentence They considered that form of punishment out of date, immoral, and unsuitable for Christian States. In the opinion of some of them the death penalty ought to be replaced everywhere by imprisonment for life.

Christian States believe in the Bible. What does the Bible say about the death penalty (capital punishment)?

By imprisonment for life.

Can u tell me what is imprisonment meaning?

can u tell me what is imprisonment meaning??
imprisonment for life = being in jail for the rest of your life

It would help if I know what country you live in and what language you speak as a native.

Do you understand what the other term means -- capital punishment?

I am living in greek... I have to submit in next half an hour... thx for your help... I note all the point which you told me...

Can you make this paragraph in your own words... I will make it too than I will check it mine too... last favor... thank you so much

The banker had given a party 15 years ago. At the party were smart, well-educated men who disagreed about capital punishment and life imprisonment. Most seemed to believe life imprisonment was to be preferred, especially by Christian countries that believe in the Bible. The death penalty means to kill someone, and God tells us in His commandments not to kill. Life imprisonment would be the kinder way to punish criminals.

This is not an analysis. It is only a rewriting of that paragraph.

Thank you so much... I wrote little bit like this... than you so much... can you tell me your real name

thank you so much...i wrote little bit like this...than you so much...can you tell me your real name

What did you write? Or did you copy what I wrote?

Why my real name?

thank you so much...i wrote little bit like this...than you so much...can you tell me your real name
Where are you right now? What time is it?

Just like that I want to know your name... I want to remember you because you helped me and make me learn how to do it? I mention in guest there were many journalist and intellectual name but that sentence you define so well... can I know your name now?

just like that i wanna know your name....i want to remember you because you helped me and make me learn how to do it? i mention in guest there were many journalist and intellectual name but that sentence you define so well...can i know ur name now?

Copy and paste... what want me to do copy... I will do anything to know your real name... lolz

Copy and paste what you wrote for your assignment.

ok i did now tell me your name....and country you belong
I don't see it anywhere. Where did you paste it?

Heyyy why you are taking so much time to telling me your name...

I don't see it anywhere. Where did you paste it?

I don't see anything either, Wondergirl!

OK I have to make 200 words.. so I am working on it... I took your lines and rest is mine... ok here you go.
"The Bet" is a short story by Anton Cheknov, The banker had given a party 15 years ago. At the party were smart, well-educated men who disagreed about capital punishment and life imprisonment. Most seemed to believe life imprisonment was to be preferred, especially by Christian countries who believe in the Bible. The death penalty means to kill someone, and God tells us in His commandments not to kill. Life imprisonment would be the kinder way to punish criminals. Banker argued that capital punishment is more humane than life imprisonment, while the young lawyer disagreed, insisting that he would choose life in prison rather than death. The banker, a spoiled and pampered man, is very nervous and gets himself carried away by excitement at the time he makes a bet with the lawyer.

I AM STLL Writing ON IT AS I HAVE TO WRITE 200 WORDS

I AM STLL WRITTING ON IT AS I HAVE TO WRITE 200 WORDS
You started this thread by saying, "i have to write passage from short story to explain one paragraph." Now you are discussing the second paragraph, plus you stole what I had written in trying to explain to you what was going on in the first paragraph. All you are doing so far is putting Chekov into your own words (and mine). Is that the assignment?

I AM STLL WRITTING ON IT AS I HAVE TO WRITE 200 WORDS
Why didn't you tell me this when I asked what is the assignment? Is having to write "200 words" a secret?

I know its not perfect but I did copy and paste because I want to know your name

I just got to know... my friend told me till now I was knowing about just one paragraph... belive me... why would I do that... if you want I will remove your words...

I remember many months ago that someone asked a question about writing a ternary form composition for a college assignment. No problem for me!

We worked very hard on it. I don't know why he was given such an assignment because through interrogatory discovery, it became very evident that he didn't know all that much about music writing at all.

I fairly certain that he plagiarized the work that I did as he never responded to questions I asked after the piece was finished.

I don't mind if people use the music that I write for them to have some sort of pleasure, but to steal my work to make them look good for an assignment... well, that's just plain wrong and dishonest!

Please show your own efforts with what you do for your school work.

Thanks!

Do not worry I will remove your words... I am sorry

i just got to know...my friend told me till now i was knowing abt just one paragraph...belive me...why would i do that...if you want i will remove your words...
You have to analyze one paragraph or the entire story?

I want YOU to do the assignment, and I'm still not sure what that is.

To Clough... I am being honest thts why I told her I include her words... rest of the line is mine... I just ask her how to begin,I learn something and I work on that... I am not dishonest I will remove her words...

To wondergirl I am being honest that I include your words because it was good... I learn it... I did not only copy... but it is OK.. I will remove it... I just wanted to know your name because you helped me and learn something... if I hurt you than I am sorry

to wondergirl i am being honest that i include your words because it was good...i learn it...i did not only copy...but it is ok..i will remove it...i just wanted to know your name because you helped me and learn something...if i hurt u than i am sorry
I went to school for many years and did my own work. My work is always good.

I want you to understand the assignment and also understand the short story. The first paragraph sets the scene and gives a sort of thesis statement.

Thank you for your exlanations and apologies, caroash09!

For you to engage someone here who can help you the best, it's just like school and you need to show the work that you've done for your teacher on the site.

I do understand what you mean by being "huffy", Wondergirl. But, that is English slang and I would appreciate an explanation from to for caroash09 as to what it means.
