What I got out of this story was that this author was not a big fan of capitalism. He says that everyone is in competition and that most people do not accumulate as much "wealth" as others. Capitalism is not perfect but it is better than socialism or communism where the government controls everything. The point of capitalism is to be competitive with one another and to achieve goals. He also thinks that because he does not wake up rich, it is capitalism's fault. You have to work hard and be motivated to make money and make a life for yourself; that is capitalism.
"One of These Days"
The case with the dentist is that he didn't have a degree but yet he performed operations and also had a crummy office full of spider webs and dead insects. He didn't seem to care for the Mayor who needed to have a wisdom tooth pulled. When the dentist looked at the Mayor's mouth, he told him that he would have to pull his tooth without anesthesia. This frightened the Mayor but he braced himself for the worst. The dentist thought of this procedure as his revenge on the Mayor and everything he has cost him, as well as twenty dead men. After the extracting of the tooth, the dentist gave the Mayor a clean cloth and explained to him how to clean the area, In conclusion, I think that both of these stories were trying to convince the reader that capitalism has failed and the people should do something to stop it. They also seem to be linear because they are telling the readers from beginning to end.
