Title of short story The Golden Touch
Author Nathaniel Hawthorne
The play takes place in the ancient Greek city of Pessinus, the capital of Phrygia. King Midas was a kind man, but he did not have very good judgement. One day, Midas was generous to Silenus, a satyr, and so Dionysus granted him one wish. Dionysus, like all Greek gods, liked to teach mortals lessons.

There are 4 main types of conflict:
Struggle between competing elements within the character
Character’s struggle against society
Character’s struggle against an antagonist.
Character’s struggle against nature
I think Struggle between competing elements within the character describes the situation I discussed.
King Midas is the Protagonist of the story. The Stranger is the one who makes his wishes come true. King Midas' servants are the ones who gave him all of his things and turned them into gold.
“That may be,” said the King, “but if I could have one wish, I would ask that everything I touch should turn to shimmering gold.” “Your wish shall be granted,” said the fairy. “From sunrise tomorrow, your slightest touch will turn anything into gold but your gift will not make you happy.”
The conflict in this story is that King Midas thinks a Golden Touch will make him more satisfied with his life; instead, the Golden Touch causes him problems by turning the things he loves most into lifeless gold.

In the real world, feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. he came to consider a company “honest” if its payment rate was above 90 percent. he considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent “annoying but tolerable.” if a company habitually paid below 80 percent, feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one: the cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear without being paid for has also gone up. don’t let that continue. i don’t imagine that you would teach your children to cheat, so why do it yourselves? the excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument? a claim an example a conclusion a counterclaim
