Some with this question really need it 3. refer to story a2 and answer the following question. which sentence, if inserted in the blank space, would make the best sense in the context of the passage a. the director, peter hall, had to beg the theater management not to close the play immediately but to wait for the sunday reviews. b. despite the audience reaction, the cast and director believed in the play. c. it looked as if waiting for godot was beginning a long run as the most controversial play of london's 1955 season. d. waiting for godot was in danger of closing the first week of its run and of becoming nothing more than a footnote in the annals of the english stage. story a2 the english language premiere of samuel beckett's play waiting for godot took place in london in august 1955. godot is an avant-garde play with only five characters (not including mr. godot, who never arrives) and a minimal setting: one rock and one bare tree. the play has two acts; the second act repeats what little action occurs in the first with few changes: the tree, for instance, acquires one leaf. in a statement that was to become famous, the critic, vivian mercer, has described godot as "a play in which nothing happens twice." opening night, critics and playgoers greeted the play with bafflement and derision. the line, "nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes. it's awful," was met by a loud rejoinder of "hear! hear! " from an audience member. however, harold hobson's review in the sunday times managed to recognize the play for what history has proven it to be, a revolutionary moment in theater.

The right answer is: C. It looked as if (...) London´s 1955 season.

This plot, which intentionally has no relevant fact and is highly repetitive, symbolizes the boredom and lack of meaning of human life, recurrent theme of existentialism. An extended interpretation of the mysteriously absent Godot is that it represents god, although Beckett always denied this. Beckett claimed that it derived from godillot, which in french jargon means boot. The title could then suggest that the characters are waiting "for the boot" . As a proper name, Godot can also be a derivative of different French verbs.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
