What did the lord buried from San Francisco. The theme of the disappearance and death in the story of the Bunin Mr. from San Francisco

Hello everyone! I remind you that in this category I briefly retell the books read by me. Those. Looking at this short story, you will know about the book as much as a person who read it. What is this story? Yes, nothing. He lived a rich man and suddenly died. Everything. But, if you dig deeper, then: there are people who are actually dead in life. And when they die, nothing changes in the world. As the death of Akakia Akakievich in the "Sineli" of Gogol. If someone wants to know in more detail how the main character leand away, see the plot to the end. Posted by Ivan Bunin this story is exactly 100 years ago - in 1915. Events occur in the same period. Mr. San Francisco (the author even decided not to give him a name), together with his wife and his daughter flooded at the ATLANTIDE steamer to Europe. He was 58 years old and he first decided to take a break from work. He looked enough. But he is rich only with money, not spiritually, because "he did not live (as the author writes), but existed." His plans were huge - for 2 years of travel, visit several cities in Italy, France, to go to England, Greece, Palestine, Egypt and even to Japan on the way back. At the same time, he necessarily wanted to "fool up" a little during his trip with young fairies. A steamer comes to Naples. Family from San Francisco stops in an expensive hotel. But in December it was cold there, because they go to the island of Capri (this is in the same Italy), where, by rumors, warm and sunny. There are almost no events in the story. It feels that everything trample in one place. You read, read and ... fall asleep. Mr. From San Francisco in the evening before dinner at the hotel, I decided to go to the reading room to read something. He opened the newspaper and here he suddenly became Khrenovo - he began to choke, hoarse. In general, died our lord from San Francisco. A wife and daughter placed his body into a coffin and went back to America. On the same steamer on which they sailed to Europe. Only this time, Mr. San Francisco was not on the top deck among the elite, but lay down - in the dark hold ... Everything. From an interesting: Ivan Bunin Our modern "chaise lounges" called "Longsheesa". Quote: "The next two hours were dedicated to rest. All the decks were forced by Longshaz, on which travelers lay, hiding with the plaids, looking at the cloudy sky and on the foamy bumps, flashed overboard, or sweetly tremble "...

The poem of the genrine ibsen "Letter in verse", which was published in Russia in 1909, six years before the appearance of the story.

"You saw and remember, of course

On the ship spirit zealous alive,

And general labor, calm and careless,

Team words, clear and simple<...>

But still, contrary to everything, one day

It may happen so among swirling

That on board without visible reasons

Everyone is embarrassed, sighs, they are injured<...>

And why? Then, that secret rumor,

Doubts sow in a shocked spirit

Slops on the ship in unclear noise, -

Everyone dreams: the corpse is hidden from the vessel in the hold ...

The superstitious sailors are known:

He is only worth awakening, -

It is weaving ... "

Mr. San Francisco

Mr. San Francisco, who is never named after the story, because, notes the author, the name did not remember him either in Naples, nor in Capri, heading with his wife and daughter in the old world for two years so, To have fun and travel. He worked a lot and now rich enough to afford such a vacation.

At the end of November, the famous "Atlantis", similar to a huge hotel with all the amenities, goes into swimming. Life on a steamer is measured: early get up, drink coffee, cocoa, chocolate, take baths, make gymnastics, walk through the decks for the excitation of appetite; Then - go to the first breakfast; After breakfast read newspapers and quietly waiting for a second breakfast; The next two hours are dedicated to rest - all decks are forced by long reed chairs, on which, covered with plaids, lie travelers, looking into the cloudy sky; Then - tea with cookies, and in the evening - what is the main goal of all this existence, dinner.

The beautiful orchestra plays exquisitely and tirelessly in a huge hall, behind the walls of which the Waves of the Terrid Ocean with the roar, but decolted ladies and men in Thractions and tuxedo do not think about him. After lunch, dancing begins in the ballroom, men in the bar are smoking cigars, drink the liqueles, and they are serving negros in red camsoles.

Finally, the steamer comes to Naples, the Mr. San Francisco family stops in an expensive hotel, and here their life is also flowing in order: Early in the morning - breakfast, after - visiting museums and cathedrals, the second breakfast, tea, then - cooking for dinners and In the evening - a rich lunch. However, December in Naples was turned out to be rainy: the wind, rain, on the streets of dirt. And the family of Mr. San Francisco decides to go on Capri Island, where, as all of them assure, warm, sunny and flower lemons.

Little vapor, overturning on the waves with a side on the side, transports Mr. San Francisco with his family, grievously suffering from seaside disease, in Capri. The funicular delivers them to a small stone town on top of the mountain, they are located at the hotel, where all of them are welcome, and they are preparing for dinner, already fulfilling from the seaside disease. Dressed before the wife and daughter, Mr. San Francisco goes to the cozy, quiet reading room of the hotel, reveals the newspaper - and suddenly the line flashes in front of his eyes, Pensna flies from the nose, and his body, spilling, slides on the floor, who was present at the same time The hotel with a scream runs in the dining room, everyone jumps out from the places, the owner is trying to calm guests, but the evening is already spoiled.

Mr. San Francisco tolerate into the smallest and bad number; Wife, daughter, servants stand and look at him, and that's what they were waiting for and were afraid, it was dying. Mr. San Francisco's wife asks the owner to allow the body to put the body into their apartments, but the owner refuses: it too appreciates these numbers, and the tourists would start them to avoid them, since the entire Capri would have known about what happened immediately. The coffin here is also impossible to get - the owner can offer a long drawer from under bottles with soda water.

At dawn, the cab driver is lucky Mr. San Francisco to the Pier, steaming transported it through the Naples Bay, and the same "Atlantis", on which he came with honorable in the old world, is now lucky, dead, in the expanded coffin, hidden from living Deep downstairs in the Black Three. Meanwhile, the same life continues on the decks as before, everything is still breakfast and dinner, and everything is also terrible worried about the windows of the portholes of the ocean.

First of all, attention is drawn to the epigraph from the apocalypse: "Mount you, Babylon, a strong city!" According to the revelation of John the Bogoslev, Babylon, "Great Bludnica, became the housing of demons and the pier every unclean spirit ... Mountain, grief to you, Babylon, the city is strong! For one hour later the court came" (Revelation, 18). So, already from the epigraph begins a through motive of the story - the motive of death, death. It occurs later in the title of the Giant Ship - "Atlantis", the deceased mythological mainland, - confirming, thus, the close death of the steamer.

The main event of the story is the death of Mr. San Francisco, fast and sudden, at one time. From the very beginning, the trip is surrounded by a mass of details foreshadowing or resembling death. First, he is going to go to Rome to listen to the Catholic prayer of repentance (which is read before death), then the steamer "Atlantis", which is in the story by a dual symbol: on the one hand, the steamer symbolizes a new civilization, where power is determined by wealth and pride, then There are those from which Babylon was killed. Therefore, in the end, the ship, and even with that name, must drown. On the other hand, "Atlantis" is the personification of paradise and hell, and if the first is described as a paradise paradise (spicy smoke waves, radiance, cognacs, liqueurs, cigars, joyful couples, etc.), then the engine room is really called the underworld: "Her last, the ninth circle was like the underwater womb of the steamer, - the one, where the giant heights gagwood, fascinated by their hot grooves of coal breasts, with a crash of plunged (Wed." Strong in Geenna Fire ". - A.Ya.) in them Rotted caviar, dirty later and on the belt with bare people, bugger from the flame ...

Mr. San Francisco lived all his life in a tense and meaningless work, postponing for the future "real life" and all the pleasures. And it is at the moment when he decides to finally enjoy life, his death overtakes him. This is exactly death, her triumph. Moreover, death triumphs already in life, because the life of rich passengers of the luxurious ocean steamer is terrible as death, it is unnatural and meaningless. The story ends with the material terrible details of the terrestrial life of the corpse and the Devil's figure, "huge, like a cliff, followed by the rocks of Gibraltar for passing past the steamer (by the way, the mythical mainland Atlantis was and dropped at the bottom of the ocean from Gibraltar).

(Thinking over the story of I.A. Bunin)

The story of Ivan Bunin "Mr. from San Francisco" can be perceived in different ways. The ideologists of Marxism-Leninism saw in it only criticism of the bourgeois society, guarded to the death of the coming socialist revolution. There is a certain analogy in this. Mr. San Francisco eventually dies. As well as capitalism in Russia. Here, they say, Bunin seems to not retreat from Marxism. But where, in this case, the proletariat is a lot of capitalism? And it begins to look out in the story of a simple worker people, attracting him "for the ears" in the "gravers" of Mr. from San Francisco. This ungrateful role is leaving the corridor fatty Luigi, and the famous Lorenzo walking throughout Italy, while noting his two-caught lobsters at night, whom he sold at the bazaar for a snot. They remember the dozen of Capriy women who are carrying suitcases and chests of decent tourists on the heads, and the beggar of Capriologic old women with sticks in the housing hands who customize donks; Sailors and Kochegarov "Atlantis" and Chinese workers. Here, they say, the contrast: Some work, in the sweat of the face, getting his urgent bread, others do nothing, - just eat, drink, having fun and even in addition, so to speak, are morally decomposed. Everything neatly decomposed on the shelves, as in the pharmacy.
Of course, all this in the story has: and the contrast between the aimless pastime of the rich gentlemen and the workdays of commoners, and the criticism of the world's capital. But this ideological scholasticism, similar to the stencil, is sharply sharpening at all, which was caught up with an equal success in the stagnant years any literary work, and the fact that Mr. from San Francisco, despite its fifty-eight years, just started his life. Prior to that, he only existed, consuling as well as fifty-eight years for hard work and the pinning of capital. And even though his life in these years was, of course, much better than the lives of the Chinese workers, whom he wrote out entire thousands, however, he had all hopes for the future. But a person is not dominated over his life, it is unpacitably owned by certain forces over, which can interrupt it anyfreight. And it's not by chance that at the end of the story appears the image of the devil - he is the true owner of human life. The idea arises that he is not only watching the Gibraltar cliffs for the body of Mr. San Francisco "Atlantida" in the hold, but she always watched her always, accompanied every step of a rich traveler, waiting for a moment for the fatal strike.
Mystical tendencies are already looking at the arrival stage at Capri, when Mr. San Francisco struck the owner of the hotel's hotel, which Mr. has already seen before it in a dream. It was like an omen, and not by chance the heart of the daughter of Mr. from San Francisco squeezed melancholy and a feeling of terrible loneliness on this stranger, a dark island. Rocking was already predetermined. The devil seems to send invisible signals to Mr. from San Francisco and his daughter.
No wonder Rock pointed to the owner of the hotel, "canceled elegant young man." He was the last one who first took care of live Mr. from San Francisco, dragged him the most elegant apartments, in which before it was located
High features - XVII flight, and then so casually and rudely managed with the body of the deceased Mr. and his family.
The theme of death is evaporated in the story long before the ingunny end of Mr. from San Francisco. The money considered among the Lords of the type of Mr. The only meaning of life is already making these fatal mystical starts of the end. After all, at making money, to accumulate capital, the hero of the story kills all his life. He dies, without even taking advantage of the results of his many years of work. And those crumbs that he managed to take during a trip to Naples, alas, do not stand that huge prices he paid. All the way to Gibraltar and then, to Naples, Mr. San Francisco only makes that he eats immensely, "gets drunk" in a bar, "smoking" by Havana cigars, looks at the famous beauties. He generously pays on his way with all who feeds and will pick it up, from morning to evening he serves him, "warning his slightest desire," delivers his chests in the hotel. He believes in the sincere caringness of all these people, and the uncommon to Mr. San Francisco, that they are all - only skilled actors who play the roles allocated to them in this stupid and vulgar spectacle of life. Taking care of it, they see only the money that he pays them. And as soon as Mr. San Francisco dies, ends and the caringness of all these people. The owner of the hotel asks Mr. Mr. San Francisco to leave the apartments and today at dawn take a dead body. Instead of a coffin, he offers a large box from under soda english water. And the corridor Luigi with the maids in open laughs over the dead Mr. from San Francisco. Now the Lord's true attitude towards the world is manifested, before that they only put on the mask of courtesies and subdrance. These cheerful cheerful people and the living Mr. San Francisco looked like on the dead. Yes, he died long before his death at the hotel on the island of Capri. As if in the grave, he sailed inside a huge steamer through the raging ocean, surrounded by the same as he were the gentlemen living in unreal, artificial life. There were no relationship between these people, an unreal - "elegant couple in love", playing love for good money.
Everything within this shipping world is perverted, dead and lifeless. Even the daughter of Mr. San Francisco, despite his young years, is essentially dead. And therefore, it does not surprise her choice in the acquaintance, who stopped at a cross-strict prince of one Asian state - a small, narrow-eyed man in golden glasses, slightly unpleasant because the large mustache "drove away from him like the dead."
Mr. San Francisco feels like a master of life. Therefore, he is also pragmatic, like all his previous life by months, signs the travel route. It includes a visit to southern Italy with its monuments of antiquity, Tarantella, Serenads of stray singers and, of course, the love of young Neapolitanok, and the carnival in Nice, and Monte Carlo with his sailing races and a roulette, and much, much more. But, barely arrives in Naples, Nature itself is rebiring against his plans. Every day, it starts to sow rain from noon, "Palm trees at the hotel's entrance shine", on the street dark, windy and damp. Naples "seemed especially dirty and cramped, museums are too monotonous", on the embankment stuck rotten fish. Even in the description of Itali landscapes, everything plays for one idea, everything gradually leads to the thought of the thoughts of terrestrial fuss, about the irresistibility of life, about the loneliness of a person, about death, finally.
So, traveling from Naples to Capri, Mr. From San Francisco, during one of the stops, "I saw a bunch of such miserable, through the passing stone houses, stunned on each other near the water, near the boats, near some rags, tin and brown networks, which, remembering that this is a genuine Italy, which he came to enjoy, felt despair ... "
All the absurdness of life conventions and illusion of physical benefits trust the scene at the hotel on the island of Capri, when Mr. San Francisco "became accurate to the crown." He shaved, washed, he came down to call the corridor Luigi, thoroughly dressed and combed, without even suspecting that after a few minutes he would lose the most valuable thing that only a person had a life. And what did he spend the last minutes of his earthly existence? .. And what, in general, spent all the fifty-eight years of my life? .. It's terrible to think. Walking on the ghostly wealth, for the mirage, a man myself robbed his life with his own hand. What remains from him? Capital, which is now inherited by his wife and daughters, who, for sure, will soon forget about him, as all those who have just recently served so diligently ... and nothing more. As nothing left of the palaces of the once mighty Tiberia, who had power over millions of people, is only erased stones. But these palaces were built on the century.
But, blinded by glitter of accumulated gold, the power of it does not know that everything is transient in the world. And whether Mr. from San Francisco was worth tormented and others from San Francisco, and others to die one day, bringing all his energetic activities to zero, without realizing and not feeling his life.
Simple people in the story look much more attractive to the Lords who work. But the problem is not that some who have too much, to take away and give those who have little or nothing at all, but to enjoy people to correctly understand their destiny in the world. Teach them to be content with what they have, to teach reasonably evaluate their needs.
Pier during the plague goes on a steamer "Atlantis." The world, which is concluded in his subsoil, is doomed, he will die, as well as the legendary mainland of antiquity, and not in vain hesitates the devil. Bunin is already then, during the writing of the story, foresaw the coming death of the old world, and the steamer "Atlantis" can be safely associated with Russia approaching to the October Revolution.
The whole trouble is that the "Atlantis" of the old world did not touch at all, but only gave a strong flow. Newly came to replace the old gentlemen, who earlier these gentlemen served, cooks and stamps learned to manage the state ... and refused to handle.
As it turns out now, without the Lord from San Francisco, it is still not to do. They were exploited, but they paid. Pretty generously, and.
The world floats as the Buninskaya "Atlantis" on the raging ocean of life towards the third millennium. Everywhere in the world, the Lord's ball rule from San Francisco, and anywhere in the world a person is not dominated over his life. The devil does it manage or someone else is still unknown. But someone manages, this is a fact.

Everyone knows the content of the story of the Bunin, in which we are talking about the rich Mr., suspiciously died on the deck of a gorgeous yacht. This work is included in the school curriculum. Today we remember some details of the plot of themella of the last Russian classicAnd also answer the question "from which Mr. San Francisco died."

Characteristic of the main character

The hero's life is told a bit. And the work itself is small. However, Bunin made it clear that the life of his character challenge, unitage, could even be said to say, a bad. The biography of a wealthy American is described in the first paragraph. He was 58 years old. For many years he worked, copied and multiply his fortune. I achieved a lot and now, on the slope of the years, I decided to take from life what I had lacking before. Namely to go on the journey.

What does Mr. San Francisco died at the age of 58? After all, only now he began to truly live. Scheduled a trip to Monte Carlo, Venice, Paris, Seville and other wonderful cities. On the way back, I dreamed of visiting Japan. But not fate. The lives of many people take place in the works. Not everyone has the ability to relax, have fun, attend long-range countries. But the work of Bunin is not about the workaholic, which dedicated life to his beloved business. This is a history of a person whose existence was aimed at achieving financial welfare and imaginary respect for others.

Once Mr. San Francisco was a young man without a penny. Once, apparently, it was set to become a millionaire. He succeeded. At his enterprise worked not to twist the hands of thousands of China. He became rich. However, it did not live, but existed. Is it possible to name the life of constant overcoming barriers?

Steamer

Deck, cabins, premises for service personnel The writer compares with Dante Ada Circles. A rich American, his wife and daughter know nothing about what is happening at the bottom. They rest, spend time as it should be the people of their circle: breakfast, drink coffee in the restaurant, then dinner, slowly walking along the deck. Mr. San Francisco has long dreamed of rest. However, it turned out that he could not relax at all. He spends the time as if approved by the schedule. However, he himself did not notice, being in anticipation of the selling love of young Neapolitanok, carnival in Monte Carlo, bull battle in Seville.

And somewhere far, in the lower cabins, dozens of workers work. Many people serve the Hero of Bunin and the Lord's Lovely. "The owners of life" have the right to a luxurious vacation. They deserve it.

Mr. San Francisco is quite generous. He believes in the caringness of all those who will eat, feeds, serves him at breakfast. Although, perhaps, he never thought about the degree of sincerity of the personnel. This is a person who does not see anything, as they say, further his nose.

What did Mr. San Francisco die from? The surroundings warn his slightest desires, guard his cleanliness and peace, pulling his suitcases. He is in a state that can be called happiness. At least he has not experienced anything previously.

In Palermo

Before answering the question of why Mr. San Francisco died, it is worth talking about his last days. They passed in a picturesque Palermo. Here, there were helpful guides everywhere, broadcasting about local attractions.

Successful businessman knew how to pay. True, there are things in this world that cannot be purchased for money. As it called, the weather spoiled. From noon, the sun Serelo, the small rain began. The city seemed dirty, close, museums monotonous. An American with his family decided to leave Palermo. Where did Mr. San Francisco die? A successful businessman died, not having time to complete his journey, on the island of Capri.

Last hours

Capri Island met the American family more hospitably. First, there was a damp here and dark, but soon Nature came to life. And here Mr. San Francisco was surrounded by a thoughtful crowd. He was served, pleased, drove - met in accordance with his social and financial position. The apartments arrived, which recently occupied another no less than a high person. Phazanov, asparagus, roast beyf submitted for dinner.

What did the story hero of the story think about the last minute? About the fault, Tarantelle, the upcoming walk along Capri. Philosophical thoughts did not visit him. However, as over the preceding 58 years.

Death

Mr. San Francisco was going to be quite nice to spend the evening. He spent a lot of time on the toilet. When was ready for the next stage of luxurious, but clearly planned leisure, I decided to go to the reading room. There she took a cozy leather chair, deployed a newspaper, looking at the notch of the never stopping the Balkan War. In this not a remarkable moment, he died.

After death

What did Mr. San Francisco die from? Most likely, from a heart attack. Bunin did not say anything about the diagnosis of his hero. But it does not matter what the cause of the death of a rich American. It is important how he lived his life and what happened after his death.

And after the death of a rich Mr. A smooth account nothing happened. Is that other guests have a little spoiled mood. In order not to upset the impressionable gentlemen, the corridor and lacquer delivered a dead American in the close, the worst number.

Why did Mr. San Francisco die? His death irreparably spoiled such a wonderful evening. Guests returned to the dining room, diet, but their faces were dissatisfied, offended. The owner of the hotel was approached by one, then to another, apologized for such an unpleasant situation in which he, of course, was not to blame. Meanwhile, the hero of the story lay in a cheap room, on a cheap bed, under a cheap blanket. He no longer smiled, did not serve. He was not interested in anyone else.

Ivan Alekseevich Bunin is called the "last classic". In his works, he shows us the whole range of problems of the late XIX - early XX century. The work of this great writer always caused and causes a response to the human soul. Indeed, the themes of his works are relevant and in our time: reflections on life and over its depth processes. Writer's works received their recognition not only in Russia. After awarded in 1933, the Bunin Nobel Prize around the world became a symbol of Russian literature.
In many of their own

The works of I. A. Bunin seeks to wide artistic generalizations. He analyzes the Universal Essence of Love, argues about the riddle of life and death.
One of the most interesting topics of the works of I. A. Bunin was the topic of the gradual and imminent death of the bourgeois world. A striking example is the story of Mr. from San Francisco.
Already from the epigraph, taken from the apocalypse, begins through the magician of the story - the motive of death, death. It occurs later and in the name of the giant ship - "Atlantis".
The main event of the story is the death of Mr. San Francisco, fast and sudden, in one hour. From the very beginning, the trip is surrounded by a mass of details foreshadowing or resembling death. First, he is going to go to Rome to listen there to the Catholic prayer of repentance (which is read before death), then a steamer "Atlantis", which symbolizes a new civilization, where the power is determined by wealth and pride, so in the end the ship, and even with that name, Must drown. A very curious story story is "Crown Prince, ... traveling incognito." Describing it, Bunin constantly emphasizes his strange, no matter how dead, appearance: "... the whole wooden, wide, narrow-eyed ... Slightly unpleasant - the fact that a large mustache drove into him like a dead ... Speed \u200b\u200bthin skin on a flat face exactly stretched and as if Slightly lacquered ... He had dry hands ... Clean skin under which the ancient royal blood flowed. "
With the smallest detail describes the bunin luxury Lord of the new time. Their greed, thirst for profit and complete confusion. In the center of the work - an American millionaire, who does not even have his own behalf. Rather, it is, but "Him in Naples, none of the Capri remember." This is a collective image of the capitalist of that time. Up to 58 years later, his life was subordinate to the accumulation, extracting material values. He works, not in the hands: "He did not live, but only existed, however, very thoroughly, but still imposing all the hopes for the future." Becoming a millionaire, Mr. San Francisco wants to get everything that has been deprived of many years. He craves the pleasures that can be bought for money: "... He thought Carnival to spend in Nice, in Monte Carlo, where at this time the most selected society flows, where they are betrayed by road and sailing races, others - roulette, the third is that It is customary to be called flirting, and the fourth - shooting of pigeons that are very beautiful from the cages above the emerald lawn against the background of the sea of \u200b\u200bforget-me-not, and immediately knock on white lumps about the ground ... ". The author truthfully shows the life of ordinary people who have lost all spiritual start and internal content. Even the tragedy is not able to wake in them human feelings. So, the death of Mr. San Francisco is perceived with displeasure, because "the evening was unaffected by spoiled." However, soon everyone forget about the "dead old man", having perceived this situation as a small unpleasant moment. In this world, money solve everything. So, guests of the hotel for their fee want to receive exclusively pleasure, and the owner is interested in profits. After the death of the main character, the attitude towards his family changes dramatically. Now they look down on them, and they do not even get common human attention.
Criticizing bourgeois reality, Bunin shows us a moral fall of society. In this story, there are a lot of allegories, associations and symbols. The ATLANTIDA ship acts as a symbol of civilization, doomed to death, and Mr from San Francisco is a symbol of bourgeois well-being of society. People who are beautifully dressed, having fun playing their games and do not think at all about the world. Around the ship - the sea, they are not afraid of him, because they trust the captain and team. Around their society - another world, raging, but not concerning anyone. People like the main hero are, as if in a case, closed forever for others.
Symbolized in the work and image of a huge, like a cliff, a devil, who is a kind of prevention of mankind. In general, there are many biblical allegories in the story. The ship's shop, as if the underworld, in which Mr. San Francisco was, selling his soul for earthly pleasures. It is no coincidence that he fell on the same ship, where people continue to have fun on the upper decks, without anything without fear.
Bunin showed us the insignificance of even a powerful person before death. Here the money does not decide anything, the eternal law of life and death moves in his direction. Anyone is equal to him and powerless. Obviously, the meaning of life lies not in the accumulation of different wealth, but in something else. In something more sincere and humane. So that after you can leave people some memory, impressions, regret. "Dead old man" did not cause any emotions around them, only scared them with a "reminder of death". Consumer society has robbed themselves. They are waiting for the same result as Mr. from San Francisco. And it does not cause sympathy.
