Mark Twain's short story of "one million pounds" is a very good
work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent,"
the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.
"One
million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of
this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him
inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a
poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one
million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would
starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own,
will be subject to other people's doubts, and even the banks do not let
him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and
therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to
check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that
during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich,
has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free
accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to
improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor
Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000
pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good
job. Lived a very, very happy life.
See here, I am so envious
of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people
reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value
money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping
more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more
important things .
