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.

Chike is the official boo of the booless , and here is a fan's 2 cents about him. 💝💝💝💝💝    Chike was born January 28, 1993.

A Critical Analysis of "A Sandal on the Head" by Kwesi Brew

A SANDAL ON THE HEAD (Analysis) This poem has the lyrical characteristics of African orality. It is not written in the regular English poet’s literal form of writing. Kwesi Brew employed the use of proverbs and African adage to paint the poem with beautiful and colourful imagery. The features are metaphors embedded with African proverbs. Examples of these imagery are evident in: The broken cannot be made whole! The strong had sheltered in their strength The swift had sought life in their speed, The crippled and the tired heaped out of the way These statements are more than witty statements. Moreover, what this excerpt also mean is that things are seemingly not going the proper way. Perhaps the economy or political structure is defunct. The broken cannot be made whole will mean that things have been destroyed beyond reparation. That things have totally fallen apart. As a result of this hardship, only the strong, favoured, fortunate and opportune are able to endur

Word Formation and Advertisements

Words are added to the English dictionary constantly, everyday, due to writers giving themselves freedom to capture their thoughts; thus, they take liberty in creating new words. This is due to the fact that the English language is the most spoken language in the world. As a common language used among humans, therefore it calls for users to make words to convey or reveal their meaning so as to express themselves evenly. Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society  (as cited in Salzmann, 1993, p. 153). Thus, one can sense the importance why new words need to be created. This attitude easily gives English the advantage to have more lexicons than some other languages. There are four different levels of linguistics, and these levels are: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The branch
