Triple Frontier: a review on the character of Tom (Redfly's), played by Ben Affleck.

Redfly's death towards the end of the play was shocking. If one will suggest premonition, he didn't want to accept Pope's offer initially. Perhaps, he says no to the mission as a form of defense mechanism; probably because he doesn't trust a part of him that much anymore.

However, that part of him that he has fear over gets the better of him. Being divorced with a not well paying job. He had a lot of bills to pay, which gets him off the grid when he eventually encounters actual bills inside Lorea's walls.
Little wonder that little Benny yelled that:

 " Tom! I've been working with you for over ten years and you have never missed a hard out!!"

Tom though they had things under control until Lorea's family came back from church, as a result, they had to kill the guards and Lorea and stack excess cash with them.

Redfly's account has seen too many red. He'd been starved of enough money that when he finally beholds cash, he isn't willing to let some peasant cocaine farmer get in the way of him and his cash.
So, he shot them "almost by reflex". He didn't know what came over him. Maybe it is a new part of him that has formed after being forced to retire, and being unable to take care of Tess and Molly.

Also, money often tends to cause distrust in a few individuals. Tom's statement that Santiago's girlfriend was lying inside the helicopter betrays this.

He needed the money badly, even the rest of the team knew that. So, also, does one of the farmer's son need to avenge his father's death direly. He followed them to the Andes where he gets a clear shot at Tom's head, and didn't miss his chance.

Analysis of "Come Away my Love" by Joseph Kariuki

According to Chinua Achebe, as stated in the Author’s biography, “Come Away my Love” is a love poem. It is a love poem about the trials and tribulation of a love affair between a black man from Kenya and a white woman from England. Analogously, it is about the embodiment of altercations experienced in an inter-racial relationship. That is, this will be the same issue encountered by an Asian espoused to a European/American, or an Indian alongside an African. Being a love poem, the title of the poem gives a hint about the typical lovers’ activities. They come away from the public eyes into a secret/romantic environment where there love, affection and energy can be optimally consummated. However, another meaning can be derived from this title. The meaning that can be derived is that the persona is asking his lover to rendezvous at a secret location away from the society that has proven counterproductive towards their love. The society has been an inhibiting factor for their love be...

JOSEPH KARIUKI

JOSEPH KARIUKI’S BIOGRAPHY. A lot of commentary is written on his existence on earth, but just a little was mentioned about his birth, death, Alma Matter and about his existence. The little that is known about him states that he is a Kenyan, born in Banana Hill. He is educated both in Kenya and abroad: at Makerere and Cambridge.  He is popular for his famous poem which is an ode to the former Kenyan president, Jomo Kenyatta.   However, nothing was said about his date of birth, parents, marriage, occupation and his childhood. Chinua Achebe’s comment about Kariuki goes thus: that he has met Joseph Kariuki through his poems, especially through his love poem “Come Away my Love”.  He opined that the poem is about the trials and tensions of an African in love with a white girl in Britain.
