1. How many times is “he finally worked himself to death, at precisely 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning”?
Three times .
2. Why is it repeated?By repeating this sentence, the author relates the two contradictory ideas ——work and Sunday and thus reveals the personality of the man and implies the man is destined to be exhausted.
3. Can you raise some aspects in Phil’s life into illustrate his being a workaholic?
Over-long working time, no hobby, monotonous diet, estranged relationship with family members…
4. What is the implication of the ending?It aims the story of Phil sees on end: He will soon be replaced by an equally hardworking guy who may following in his steps and repeat the same tragedy . Bosses are always on the lookout for workaholics and they are never in short supply. The ending is full of sarcasm and bitterness.
Thank you!
