Summary of Short Story

SUMMARY OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
"One thousand dollars," said the lawyer Tolman.  "And here is the money.”
Young Gillian touched the thin package of fifty-dollar bills and laughed.

"You heard the reading of your uncle's will after he died," continued the lawyer Tolman.  "I do not know if you paid much attention to its details.  I must remind you of one.  You are required to provide us with a report of how you used this one thousand dollars as soon as you have spent it.  I trust that you will obey the wishes of your late uncle."
Gillian went to his club. He searched for a man he called Old Bryson.Gillian ask, how could he spent one thousand dollars. 
" There are many good things a man could do with a thousand dollars,” said Bryson. "You?" he said with a gentle laugh.  "Why, Bobby Gillian, there's only one reasonable thing you could do. You can go and buy Miss Lotta Lauriere a diamond necklace with the money and then take yourself off to Idaho and inflict your presence upon a ranch.”
"Thanks," said Gillian as he rose from his chair. 
And then, Gillian went to Miss.Lotta Lauriere. He asked Miss.Lauriere whether she want him to buy her a one thousand dollars necklaces. But Miss.Lauriere refused because she wants a two thousand dollars necklace.
Gillian went out from the building and looking for a taxi. After he get it, he asked the driver what would he do if he had one thousand dollars. The driver said he would open a drinking place. But Gillian still confused.
After that, he met a blind man and he asked the same question that he asked to the taxi driver. A blind man explained that he would deposit it to the bank.
Gillian went to Miss.Hayden. He didn't ask like the way he did before. He just entered the room like the world were unimportant. He just said "My uncle had second thoughts and willed you a thousand dollars.  Tolman asked me to bring you the money.  Here it is.”
Gillian laid the money  on the desk.  Miss Hayden turned white. "Oh!" she said.
Gillian half turned and looked out the window.  In a low voice he said, "I suppose, of course, that you know I love you."
"May I write a note?" asked Gillian, with a smile.  Miss Hayden supplied him with paper and pen, and then went back to her writing table.
Gillian wrote a report of how he spent the thousand dollars: “Paid by Robert Gillian, one thousand dollars on account of the eternal happiness, owed by Heaven to the best and dearest woman on earth."
Gillian went out happily from the room and then he went to Mr.Tolman. "Mr.Tolman, i've spent my one thousand dollars and i come to present the report of it."
Gillian told how he spent his one thousan dollars. Mr.Tolma said,"because you've spent your one thousand dollars in the right way, i'll give you the fifty thousand dollars from your uncle and here it is. But spent it in the wise way, not in the foolish way like the way you did a long ago."
"Okay" Gillian went out and walking whistling happily

Analytical exposition

DEBATE RESULT - THIS HOUSE BELIEVE THAT PENGUIN SHOULD NOT BE KEPT AS A PET

Introduction
Nowadays, many animals had labeled as an endangered animal. Their population becoming less and less each year. Unfortunately the endangered animals are also animals many people want to keep as a pet or for their own good like get much money by selling them illegally. The example is cendrawasih bird, panthera tigris, and many more. Penguin is also an animal which had labeled as an endangered animal. But, there are many people who want keep them as a pet because of their cuteness and uniqueness. I also acknowledge that they're really cute. They're one of the bird which can't fly but they could swim fastly. But penguin can only have one child everytime they do reproduction and they death rate is quite high. That's why penguin is nearly extinct.

Benefit:
Although there are penguins that live in the north antartica , but there are also living in the tropics near the galapagos island . Just as we are living in the tropics . Weather , seasons , and habitats that we have relatively close to them so we can take care of them because it has the same habitat with us . We can make a replica of the ocean with rocks , fish , and other objects that exist in the oceans . To keep them alive , we have to keep feeding them by putting the fish in the sea replica . We have to clean up " the ocean " water regularly to maintain hygiene and insufficient intake of oxygen . Fish that we must give to eat is fish that actually qualified . We also have to set aside plenty of time to take care of them so they stay comfortable even though they feel is not in their natural habitat . we should maintain at least two penguins are males and females that penguins do not feel the stress of living alone . That way , we can help them breeding.

Disadvantage:

If while preserving penguins, then one day we still have to release them into their natural habitat. If we let them die in our homes, we can being sued by killing endangered animals. But unfortunately, if we observe the penguins in the long term, they will be accustomed to living comfortably and be lazy because everything is available to them. Then if we drop them into their natural habitat, they will not be able to find good food because they would be defeated quickly with their prey or other predators. They could die of hunger because of the loss of their hunting skill. Yet as we know, hunting skill is very important to survive in the wild life.

Conclusion:
Penguin is an animal that a lot of people wants to have because of their cuteness and uniqueness. However, as we know, penguins can not adapt well in our environment. The best way is to let them live in their own habitat so they do not lose their hunting skills. Let's keep these endangered animals so that the ecological balance is maintained
