Host

This week we read a story by David Foster Wallace about a conservative radio talk show host. Zeigler the talk show host talks about issues going on in the world and Wallace writes about what Zeigler says about these issues. Wallace then comments and is very opinionated about zeigler. I was shocked to hear when Zeigler said "we American are better then the Arab World". I immediately labeled him as a racist.
This story was long and has many issues that they talk about. Also those boxes very hard not to read.

Bartleby the Scrivener

Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville is a story of an elderly lawyer who has a clerks that are wierd and interesting, non wierder then Bartleby. The story takes place in Wall Street the heart of Americas economy. Bartleby just hired by the lawyer to examine, copy, and proofread documents. One day when asked to help with proofreading a document he simply replies "I prefer not to". The lawyer freaks out and after a while he fires Bartleby because he refuses to do anything. Bartleby was arrested for staying at the office eventhough the lawyer moved to a new location. he then dies of starvation at prison.
Bartlleby is a very interesting character that has a very passive boss. What i wanna know is how did Bartleby go from hard worker to "Preferring to not do anything". Is anyone interested with this. I have read the story again and still cannot pin point why he starts to do nothing.
