"Paradise Lost" Synopsis

"Paradise Lost" is a epic poem written by John Milton. The poem is divided into 12 books. He divided this epic poem into 2 main stories. The first one is about Satan and other rebel angels who want to create Hell because they don't like heaven. Satan, craving the Fall of Man, tempted Eve with an apple that will divulge her in sin. Satan went down to Earth disguised as an angel and another angel, Gabriel, sends him out of Earth when he discovers it's Satan. Eve falls for the apple and ends up eating it, same thing happens for Adam. They both fall into sin and a deep long sleep. When they wake up they feel really bad and guitly for their wrongdoings, and the story ends with them walking a walk of solitude.

A and B

1 - A falls off of B's roof while fixing B's roof

2 - B walks by A, A's homeless, and asks for money, B walks away

3 - A needs to go somewhere, he doesn't have a car, B lends his car, no brakes, A crashes

4 - B has swine flu, goes to school, and gives it to A

1 - No, it was A's fault from the start because how can B know that his own roof is faulty, or broken, so A should have been more careful, or create a scaffold to walk over the roof.

2 - Yes, this is B's fault and he should feel guilty, because if you see a homeless beggar asking for money, the least you could do is spear the change in your pocket, not walk away and pretend you didn't even see him.

3 - This again is B's fault, and should feel remorse. If your car's brakes are broken, they would make noise for at least 2 weeks before they actually break, so B should have given it a check up or not have given it to A in the first place and that would have avoided his crash.

4 - Again, yes, B should feel guilty. Swine flu catches quickly and his mother, or if hes in uni, he should have gone to the doctor instead of risking all the students at school.

Dear Mr. O’Dolihan;
I am a banker that works for HSBC in New Delhi, India. I recently saw your flyer that you were looking for a pen pal looking to talk via letters. I would prefer chatting over the Internet but I can handle this.

Let me tell you about my self. My name is Raviv Shrandapula Rachi. I have grey hair and, unfortunately, balding. I am married to a beautiful woman named Shrashi Shermala Rachi. We, together, have 3 children. They are all girls. So as you see by now, women surround my whole life. This is in fact the reason I wanted to chat with you. I am in need of some man-to-man talking.

I was born into a rich family, which is not that typical in my country. My father was a lucky and excellent banker, while my mother was working as a lawyer. When I turned 15 I discovered I had a passion for math and money. I attended The University of New Delhi because my parents didn’t want me far away from home. I studied business and economics for 5 years and then my father offered me a job under his wing.

About ½ a year ago I quit my job and studied computer technology. Since now I have been attending NDIT (New Delhi IT).

Mr. O’Dolihan, I am in need of advice and just regular talking. I cannot say what I want to my wife so I have been trying to find friends. I thought I was done for until I found your flyer that you posted. It’s incredible that I’m all the way in India and I managed to find your flyer that you posted! I just want to let you know that if you get this letter please respond and we can talk about everyday life and share advice.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Rachi;
My name is Randy O’Dolihan, son of Mark O’Dolihan and Mary Jenny. Sorry about my handwriting, I haven’t written anything in about 12 years. Thank God! You actually found my flyer. I put that up at least a year ago. Well yes, I am looking for someone to talk to. I have no friends right now and both my parents are gone. Sorry to hear about the Internet. We don’t have that in my town, let alone computers. You see, I live in a small town in Algona called Shriplen Heights. The population is about 300 people. What is the population in your country? Big or small?

Now, about me. I am 32 years old and currently unemployed. I used to work for a farm down in the village but after 2 years I started to get lazy and the boss didn’t like me bringing the cattle in later than 8 o’clock. Right now I applied for a horse grooming company down in the center of Iowa. I really hope I get the job because then I can talk to you on the Internet! My family is the complete opposite of yours. I was born in a poor home with 1 brother. My dad left when I was 6 so I never got the chance to get to know him, but oh well. My mom brought me and Jimmy up all by herself. I think I’ll leave my personal life up to there. I want to get to know you more until I start spreading all the details.

I never really went to school because in the 1st grade I got expelled for setting a kid’s locker on fire. I didn’t really have any friends either. My mom then decided she didn’t want me to attend school ever again because of 2 reasons: 1, she didn’t have the money, and 2, she didn’t want me endangering other kids again. You can probably tell that I didn’t go to school from my grammar and spelling errors. I deeply apologize; I’m trying to make a good first impression.
Mr. Rachi, I think its destiny that you found my flyer because boy, I have a lot of advice to share with you. I think we can make this work out but I want you to stay committed to this pen pal relationship and forget to ever respond. So I hope you are interested in me and want to know more, I sure am. See you later, and have a good one!

Sincerely,

Dear Randy;

I am glad to see that my letter got through to you. Thank you as well, for replying. You see not many people respond to my mails so frankly this is a dream come true for me. Anyway, I think I feel that I know you better now so I’ll explain my problem to you.

When I was a boy growing up, my father was always there for me. He would be the one who would hold my hand on the way to school. About half a year ago, my father passed away in a terrible car crash. You see, from that point on, I haven’t had the courage to do anything except stay with my family and I want that to change sooner than later. So I am asking you, Randy, to please help me in my struggle and find courage to go out and meet new people.

At the moment, there is a married man in my class who, from what I can see, shares the same interests as me. He has pictures of cricket players on his desk, he loves his family, and I think we could become great friends. I just want to ask him to go get a beer somewhere and talk, but every time I talk to someone that I have never met before, I always seem to think they don’t like me. I need some courage.

I need your help on how to confront him. What should I say? There is a class party that is happening in about 3 days from now, should I go?

But I don’t want this chat to be always about me. What’s new with you? Tell me about your past and what’s going on now with your life. Thanks again Randy, for the help.

Sincerely,
