story is told about Byelikov,“the man in a case”.Byelikov,a Greek-language teacher at a provincial school,is extraordinarily methodical both in his personal and professional life.A strict disciplinarian,he never makes exceptions to the rules.He always does things in the proper way,determined to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.Although he and his colleagues have nothing to speak about,he regularly visits each one of them because it is the accepted thing to do.Every time something slightly irregular comes up,Byelikov cries,“Oh,how I hope it doesnt reach the ears of the authorities!”Naturally,the other teachers hate him.At one point,Byelikov becomes enamored of Varinka,the sister of Kovalenko,a new teacher at the school.Everyone encourages this relationship,hoping that marriage will have a moderating influence on Byelikov.However,someone draws a humorous caricature of Byelikov and Varinka.Then,Byelikov sees Varinka and her brother bicycling in the park.Outraged,Byelikov goes to the brother to protest this scandalous behavior,but Kovalenko pushes him down some steps.Byelikov then becomes depressed,takes to his bed,and dies,thereby truly becoming a man in a box.,Starting out,Task 1,The Garden Party:,The Sheridans are getting ready for a garden party.Laura is supposed to be in charge,but the workers appear to know better,and her mother has ordered lilies to be delivered for the party without her approval.Miss Jose,her sister,tests the piano,and then sings a song in case she is asked to do so again later;the furniture is rearranged,and then they learn that their poor neighbor,Mr.Scott,who lives in a cottage near their main street,has died.While Laura believes the party should be called off,neither Jose nor her mother agrees.The party is a success,and later Mrs.Sheridan decides it would be good of them to bring a basket full of leftover food to the Scotts house.She summons Laura to do so.The latter is let into the poor neighbors house by Mrs.Scotts sister,and then sees the matron herself and her late husbands corpse.The sight of his apparently sleeping body moves her to tears,and she runs off back to her own home,where she sobs in her brother Lauries arms.,Starting out,Task 1,The Necklace:,A young lady who aspires to join the upper ranks of society is finally invited to a high-society affair given by her husbands employer.Hoping to impress the guests and thus“fit in”,she borrows a diamond necklace from her friend.She goes to the evening party,and relishes in feeling special.When she gets home,however,she finds that the necklace is missing.She and her husband search desperately for it,but cannot find it.They go to a shop,and see that the same necklace is being sold for a huge amount of money.They purchase it,vowing to pay off the debt.It takes years,but after working ceaselessly,they pay off all the debt.By that time,the woman has completely lost her beauty.She bumps into the old friend on the street,and confesses to her that she had lost her original necklace,and had just paid off the debt on the one that had been given to replace it.The friend is in shock,and tells her that the necklace originally given her was a fake,and cost almost nothing.,Starting out,Task 1,The Tell-tale Heart,Starting out,Task 1,Running for Governor,:,The story is about a farcical election

newspapers as“The Infamous Perjurer Twain”,“Twain the Montana Thief”,“Twain,the Body-Snatcher”,“Mr.Delirium Tremens Twain”,“Twain the Filthy Corruptionist”and“Twain the Loathsome Embracer”.What is
